Twelve Functions, One Orthosis!

The original TKO^® required separate models for right and left hands, as well as additional sizes to accommodate larger and smaller hands for specific applications. This led to increased SKUs and added complexity in inventory management. Over the years, we have received feedback from customers expressing interest in a hand-based option, which sometimes influenced their decision when considering the TKO^® as their go-to solution for metacarpal fractures.

The Innovation Team at Hely & Weber rose to the challenge and we are excited to unveil our entirely universal design: The TKO^® 2.0. This patented orthosis is truly ambidextrous, accommodating both left and right hands, and effectively scales to fit both small and large hands—dramatically reducing SKUs and simplifying inventory management. Furthermore, the TKO^® 2.0 boasts a unique 'break-away' stay and carcass, facilitating a seamless step-down transition from a forearm-based brace to a hand-based configuration. This adaptability ensures targeted support and improved functionality across a range of hand and finger injuries.

• Patented Design:  Seamlessly fits both left and right hand applications.
• Adaptable Configuration:  Effortlessly transitions from a Wrist-Hand-Finger Orthosis (WHFO) to a Hand-Finger Orthosis (HFO), catering to diverse needs with a single adjustment to remove the wrist portion of the brace.
• Universal Sizing:  Expertly designed to accommodate most hand sizes with adjustable features, ensuring a perfect fit.

• Both right and left hand configurations for ulnar gutter, buddy splinting (3rd/4th digits) and radial gutter for all-encompassing care.  

• Padded Malleable Stays:  Features both volar and dorsal stays that can be precisely bent to achieve optimal patient-specific positioning.
• Distal Buddy Strapping:  Prevents finger rotation, facilitating correct alignment and promoting effective healing.

• SKU Reduction:  Streamlines inventory with one SKU capable of covering all application needs, significantly reducing inventory costs and complexity.

Provides critical immobilization for the ulnar side of the wrist and hand, securing the ring and small fingers in an 'intrinsic plus' position and promoting optimal alignment and recovery. 

Ideal for: Boxer's fracture, 4th/5th metacarpal (MC) fractures, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint injuries, proximal phalanx fractures, and ulnar nerve injuries

Ensures stable immobilization of the ring and middle fingers, maintaining them in ‘safe position’. This brace provides tailored support for less common central hand injuries.

Ideal for: 3rd/4th MC fractures, MCP joint injuries, and proximal phalanx fractures

Offers robust protection and immobilization for the radial side, particularly the index and middle fingers, while allowing unhindered functionality of the thumb. This application maintains the fingers in an optimal position of healing.

Ideal for: 2nd/3rd MC fractures, MCP joint injuries, and proximal phalanx fractures

Begin by reconnecting with existing TKO^® users to introduce the enhanced TKO^® 2.0. Showcase its improved versatility, including the reduction in SKUs and expanded configuration options, which provide more clinical solutions and simplify inventory management for their practices. Prioritize customers where competitive threats have arisen.

Target any healthcare provider who treats hand and finger fractures, such as hand surgeons, general orthopedic surgeons, non-operative sports medicine doctors, and urgent care or emergency department providers. The TKO^® 2.0 not only ensures excellent reimbursement rates but also serves as an ideal, non-invasive alternative to traditional casting, offering superior comfort and adjustability.

Leverage discussions on metacarpal fractures and care options to introduce the 1010 Handcuff. Highlight the Handcuff as a viable, lighter alternative to the TKO^® 2.0 or as a transitional solution to help patients return to work or sports more swiftly and safely.
