Frejka Splint No. 20 (20 cm) Hip Bandage B-801

Description:

The Frejka Kreyt B-801 splint (pad) – buy the original model at a super price. If a child is diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia, an orthopedic doctor may prescribe a special corrective bandage. The best option in this case is the famous Frejka splint (pad) with soft or hard fixation, designed specifically for babies. It gently holds the hip joint in an abducted and flexed position, which helps stop and prevent further development of dysplasia or even prevent its occurrence. This system was developed in the last century by Austrian orthopedist V. Frejka for infants with dysplasia problems. Modern devices are much more effective, comfortable, and provide the necessary level of rigidity for faster results.

Indications for use:

• Mild hip dysplasia
• Prevention of dysplasia
• Congenital preluxation or subluxation of the femoral head

This device is most often prescribed for infants aged 1-3 months. However, today the age range for wearing the device is expanding, up to 1-2 years (in special cases).

Contraindications:

• Congenital hip dislocation
• Individual intolerance to the materials used in the product
• Other contraindications noted by your child's doctor

Important:

Like other medications and orthotic devices for children, the Frejka pad is purchased only with a medical prescription. You can obtain this prescription and recommendations on the selection and proper use of the system after examination by a pediatric orthopedist.

Treatment and Results:

Maximum results from using the bandage can be achieved only with complex therapy: physiotherapy exercises (PT), pain relief through therapeutic massage, and other means to keep the baby's hip joint in the correct position. Abduction should be introduced gently and gradually, reaching up to 80 degrees. Incorrect use can lead to impaired blood supply to the femoral head and, as a consequence, to a serious complication – avascular necrosis. However, this is completely avoided if you follow the above simple rules and the doctor's recommendations. The effectiveness can be colossal, leading to complete recovery and protection against recurrences!

Advantages of the Frejka Kreyt B-801 Splint (Pad):

• Six reinforcement ribs providing optimal fixation.
• Maximum ecological and hypoallergenic composition: the support is made using 95% cotton, 5% elastane, and the shoulder straps are made from 100% natural cotton with foam padding.
• The base of the construction is a well-ventilated polyamide mesh.
• Straps with a convenient Velcro fastener, which is especially important considering the rapid growth of the infant.
• Edges finished with cotton knit fabric do not chafe and do not cause any discomfort during wear.
• Wide size range: starting from the minimum No. 16 with a bandage width of 16 cm and ending with the maximum No. 26 with a splint width of 26 cm. Correct size selection is crucial: the bandage should fit the child perfectly, neither too large nor too small. The distance between the maximally spread knees (legs bent) is a useful guide. If you have any difficulties, you can always contact our experienced managers for advice.
• Universal white color.
• Easy care: hand washing in cool water with mild detergents is possible. Drying should be done naturally in a horizontal position. Store the product in a dry, cool place, away from heating appliances and direct sunlight.

How to Use:

Depending on the severity of the pathology, wearing the splint can last up to 12-24 hours a day. This period is usually strictly regulated by the attending physician. The first fitting is best done with a doctor, who will show you the correct way to secure it. Be prepared for potential inconveniences associated with this type of treatment, which can last from one to several months. These may include difficulties in dressing and undressing the baby, who will constantly be in the "frog" position, challenges during hygiene and other care, and, of course, inevitable tantrums and a period of adaptation for the baby to this restricted position – from a few days to a month. However, patience is required, as this is one of the few safe and importantly, non-surgical ways to combat hip dysplasia. It's recommended to purchase the Frejka hip bandage as early as possible, ideally immediately after the problem is detected and after receiving the corresponding recommendations from an orthopedist. Ignoring the problem and leaving the child's hip in the incorrect position can have serious consequences. Underdevelopment of the joints and frequent hip dislocations are not all the problems the child may face in adulthood. The likelihood of easy (non-surgical) correction decreases with each passing month.

Size range: 16 cm to 26 cm in 1 cm increments.
