SaeboStretch™
(patent pending)

“A dynamic solution for a dynamic problem”

Saebo introduces the revolutionary new SaeboStretch.  

We have found the single most limiting factor to regaining hand function following a stroke, besides the severity of the stroke, is soft tissue shortening of the long finger flexors. The neurologically impaired wrist and hand have been a challenge for therapists since the first splint was fabricated.

Well…we were listening, and our new device addresses all the complaints we have heard over the years from both therapists and patients.

How is the SaeboStretch Different?

• Revolutionary new patented stretch technology allows the fingers to move through flexion caused by associated reactions and tone. In addition, it utilizes a low load long duration stretch to return the fingers to the desired position. Current devices on the market today use a static hand piece to address the dynamic hand. As the dynamic hand tries to move through flexion, the unbending static hand piece causes the PIP joints to flex and the DIP joints to hyperextend. The result is joint damage, deformities, hypermobility and contractures.

• How many times have your patients told you their fingers pull out of the splint? Our new patent pending strapping system utilizes key anatomical points of control. The SaeboStretch has a series of slots and cut-outs that ensure an intimate fit that keep the fingers right where you want them.

• Our new strap design offers two major improvements. The first and most notable is the rubber backing. This helps prevent unwanted Velcro strap interlock, which increases ease and independence with donning and doffing, and ensures longer strap life. The second feature addresses functionality. We lined the volar surface with a non-skid material that keep the fingers from pulling out of the straps and eventually the device.

• The SaeboStretch includes three interchangeable hand pieces, each with a different grade of resistance. This feature further prevents joint damage and offers the therapist more options when addressing soft tissue shortening, hypertonicity and hypermobility.
