SWISSELITE Hand Contracture Cushion, Hand Grab Pad

Used when I had thumb joint replacement surgery, carpal tunel release and shoulder surgery ...kept my hand from cramping up.

Me mom's hand is paralyzed and this helped to keep it open

Pretty nice! Very soft and is a good size as described. Good ergonomic fit and nice too. Rating 4/5 because the filler stuffing isn't as much as I'd like.

Muy bueno práctico y ayuda a la racuperacion

I bought this for my mom who has severe contracture of her left hand post stroke. It’s so bad that her fingernails were cutting into her palm. Pros: The cushion is nice. The fabric is soft and cuddly. The cushion is firm enough to keep her fingers out of her palm but soft enough to cradle them. Con’s: She can’t put it on by herself. It’s definitely a two person job if the contracture is severe. The soft cuddly fabric and the size of the finger loops allow it to slide off her fingers after a time. There’s nothing to keep it in place on the hand. If it had elastic loops instead of fabric or some other way to secure it to the hand it would be a much better product. Bottom line is nice cushion at the price but not really practical for severe deficits. I can’t recommend.

This hand pillow, as I call them, is the perfect size for my hand and is very pleasantly soft. That’s all the good I can say about it. I had a stroke so my hand has tone. It is extremely hard to feed my fingers into the loops and if I do get them in, it’s hard to keep them in there as the pillow frequently falls off my hand. I ordered an elastic band to sew on it so that I can at least have that across my hand for extra help keeping it on my hand.

This was exactly what we needed and exactly as advertized.

It keeps her fingers separated so that she doesn't scratch herself. I cover the entire cushion and hand with the bottom cut off part of my husband's sports sock to protect her face also. It also makes it so much easier to clip her fingernails while wearing it! It is a little difficult to ease her tightly-clutched fingers into the correct spaces. You have to very carefully tug on each loop to get it on correctly. I sewed a small ribbon onto the top of each loop to use to tug without touching her fragile fingers. UPDATE: I ordered more and now the loops are quite a bit larger. Not sure if they will stay on her hands as well. However, we cut off the bottom of a big, soft sock and put it over her hand like a mitten as she has started jamming her hands up tight against her face. That keeps her fingernails off her face.
