Brace Orthopaedic has launched Artisan – a new innovative ‘off-the-shelf’ range of hand therapy and immobilisation splints, that can be shaped for a custom fit.
The braces are made from a lightweight malleable aluminium, covered by a soft lining. This unique pliable construction enables a ‘custom fit’ and the slim design with inner padding aides comfort, promoting patient compliance.

Artisan Elbow Immobiliser
Artisan’s innovative design allows easy progressive adjustment of the splint by the clinician as the patient’s ROM improves, and this shaping does not require the use of a heat gun, water bath or removal of stays.
The ankle and elbow immobilisers offer exceptionally strong immobilisation due to high quality Velcro and the ability to shape them perfectly to the limb. In addition, the clinician can also re-shape the immobiliser to adjust the ROM as rehabilitation requires.
There are six products in the range including:
- Palmar Splint
- Ankle Immobiliser
- Elbow Immobiliser
- Thumb Splint
- Metacarpal Splint
- Ulnar Splint
“Artisan is a unique and multifunctional range of splints that provide a highly effective option for clinicians working in fracture clinics, plaster rooms, A&E and orthotics,” commented Clive Mitchell, Managing Director of Brace Orthopaedic.
“The unique design enables custom fit joint immobilisation in minutes, saving clinicians a huge amount of valuable time. Furthermore, Artisan is a highly versatile range of products offering solutions for patients with plaster allergies and skin conditions where containment would cause complications.
“Artisan is offered as a universal option and limited size ranges; this ensures that a minimal stock level is required. The products are manufactured to a high quality, offer an affordable resource to the NHS market and comply with the strict ethos of the Brace Orthopaedic brand – to always deliver innovation.”
Artisan is designed and manufactured by Artsanity, an Italian orthopaedic company specialising in hand therapy and immobilisation products.
Brace Orthopaedic is the exclusive supplier of Artisan in the UK and Ireland and stock is available by next day delivery. To arrange a demonstration please call our customer services team on 0191 258 8944 or email sales@braceorthopaedic.co.uk
