Mediroyal NRX Heat Tape Manual

NRX® Heat Tape and NRX® TFCC Wrist
with DRUJ stability
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 TFCC application and NRX® Heat Tape
to provide more support for the DRUJ and the TFCC ligament complex.
1
Cut the pattern according to the NRX® TFCC instruction from 110 mm NRX® Strap. Try the application on to determine where to
position the reinforcement and how long it should be. It could be easier by attaching a hook part directly over the DRUJ, on the
material. Use a 22 mm NRX® Heat Tape and cut the appropriate length. Position the tape on the NRX® Strap material. Make sure
that the angle between the two tapes align with the position of the DRUJ.
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.
