The Pediatric Spring Loaded Goniometer Elbow Hand Thumb Combo Orthosis comes with a terrycloth cover that absorbs moisture, preventing skin maceration. The included foam liner covers the whole orthosis frame, preventing the frame from pinching the skin or exerting pressure on an injury. Large splints have a teal cover, medium splints turquoise, and small splints lavender.
