Mediroyal NRX Heat Tape Manual

NRX® Heat Tape and NRX® Supination Sling
Material NRX® Heat Tape can be used to reinforce your NRX® Strap application to add more stability and
restricted stretch. In this application we will use the NRX® Strap Supination application and NRX® Heat
Tape to provide more support and to slow down supination movement.
1
Cut the pattern according to the NRX® Supination instruction from 50 mm NRX® Strap or 60 mm NRX® Strap Neptune. Try the
application on to determine where to position the reinforcement and how long it should be. Ideal position is 8 cm from the wrist
joint up over radius. Use a 22 mm NRX® Heat Tape and cut the appropriate length. Position the tape on the NRX® Strap material.
2
Position the material on a heat resistant surface. Cover the
material with a baking paper or Teflon sheet. Set the iron on
medium heat (two dots) and press the NRX® Heat Tape for
10-15 seconds. Check that the edges has bonded. If not,
repeat the process. Then let the material cool for 1–2
minutes before application.

Close the thumb first. Then apply the strap with a light
stretch up over the arm. Do not over-stretch as this can
cause edema. Attach the strap over the elbow.
