Frejka Splint No. 26 (26 cm) Hip Bandage B-801

Description:

The Frejka Krayt B-801 splint (pad) – purchase the original model at a super price. If your child is diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia, an orthopedist may recommend a corrective bandage. The renowned Frejka splint (pad), offering both soft and firm fixation, is the ideal solution for infants. It gently holds the hip joint in an abducted and flexed position, stopping or preventing further dysplasia development or even preventing its onset. This system was developed in the last century by Austrian orthopedist V. Frejka for infants with dysplasia. Modern versions offer significantly improved effectiveness, comfort, and the necessary level of rigidity for faster results.

Indications for Use:

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

This splint is most often prescribed for infants aged 1-3 months. However, the age range for use is expanding, extending to 1-2 years in certain cases.

Contraindications:

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

Important Note:

Like other medications and orthopedic devices for children, the Frejka pad should only be purchased with a doctor’s prescription. Obtain a prescription and recommendations for selection and proper use from a pediatric orthopedist after an examination.

Optimal results are achieved through comprehensive therapy: physiotherapy, pain relief through therapeutic massage, and other methods to maintain the child’s hip joint in the correct position. Abduction should be introduced gently and gradually, reaching up to 80 degrees. Incorrect use can impair blood supply to the femoral head, potentially leading to avascular necrosis. However, this risk is eliminated by following the instructions and doctor’s recommendations. The effectiveness can be significant, leading to complete recovery and protection against recurrence.

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

• Six support ribs for optimal fixation.
• Highly ecological and hypoallergenic composition: the support is made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane; shoulder straps are 100% natural cotton with foam padding.
• Breathable polyamide mesh base.
• Convenient Velcro straps, essential for accommodating rapid infant growth.
• Edges finished with cotton knit for comfort.
• Wide size range: from the smallest size #16 (16 cm wide) to the largest size #26 (26 cm wide). Proper size selection is crucial; the bandage should fit perfectly. The distance between the knees when fully abducted (legs bent) serves as a guide. Our experienced managers are available for assistance if needed.
• Universal white color.
• Easy care: hand wash in cool water with mild detergents. Air dry flat. Store in a cool, dry place away from heating appliances and direct sunlight.

How to Use:

Depending on the severity of the condition, the splint may be worn for 12-24 hours a day, as determined by the doctor. The first fitting should ideally be done with the doctor, who will demonstrate proper application. Be prepared for potential inconveniences associated with this treatment, which can last for one to several months. These include difficulties dressing and undressing the child, who will be in a “frog-leg” position, challenges with hygiene and care, and inevitable fussiness and adjustment to the restricted position (ranging from a few days to a month). Patience is key, as this is one of the few safe and non-surgical methods for treating hip dysplasia.

Purchase the Frejka hip bandage as early as possible, ideally immediately after diagnosis and receiving recommendations from an orthopedist. Neglecting this problem and leaving the child’s hip in an incorrect position can have serious consequences. Underdeveloped joints and frequent hip dislocations are just some of the potential 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.
