Wonderful FCGFL

Prosthetic and orthotic clinics that want a cosmetic glove fitted on the day it is chosen are the natural home of the FCGFL. Its three standard sizes and single long length mean the glove can be on the shelf before the booking, and the appointment can run from size choice to finished fitting without a break.

Prosthetic technicians are the people whose time it shapes most. With L, M and S already in the room, a technician opens the chosen size, eases the silicone over the prosthetic fingers and works it down the long length while the patient is present. Every minute of the slot goes on that fitting, and the technician can move straight on to the next booking once the glove is settled.

Clinic coordinators and the staff who build the rota gain a simpler week. A first glove fitting can be planned as one appointment, and a renewal booked against the size already on the record takes the same length of slot. Glove fittings fill predictable blocks of chairside time, and the workshop diary can be planned around them.

Limb-fitting centres seeing a steady flow of upper-limb patients can hold one or two of each size and fit from stock across a clinic session. Outreach and visiting clinics carry the same advantage on the road: a small set of sizes travels with the team, so a patient seen at a remote session can leave wearing the glove.

Patients feel the result as one visit. They arrive with a prosthetic hand, the size is chosen with them at chairside, and they go home with the silicone glove fitted and in place.

Fitting starts as soon as the size is chosen

Each FCGFL is complete in its size when it reaches the clinic. The appointment opens on the fitting step, and the technician's time is spent where the patient can see the result.

One visit from choice to finished glove

Standard L, M and S sizes allow the glove to be picked and fitted in the same sitting. The patient leaves that appointment wearing it.

Rota slots that are easy to predict

A glove fitting becomes a single booking of known length. Coordinators can place first fittings and renewals into the week as equal, known blocks.

Technician time spent at chairside

The glove arrives finished, so the technician's booked time with it is chairside time. Those hours go into easing the silicone on, working it along the long length and settling it with the patient.

Three sizes, one shelf

L, M and S share the long standard length, so a small stock of three sizes covers the range. Keeping one of each on hand makes any glove fitting possible on the day it is booked.

Renewal on the same footing

A replacement is reordered in the size already recorded and fitted in one sitting. Renewal visits take the same slot as the first fitting, which keeps repeat bookings simple.

Size decided with the patient present

The choice between L, M and S happens at chairside, next to the prosthetic hand the glove will cover. The patient sees the size chosen and the glove fitted in the same appointment.

One material across every size

Silicone makes up the whole FCGFL in all three sizes. A technician fitting an L in the morning and an S in the afternoon works with the same material and the same routine.

Silicone construction

The whole glove is silicone, in every size and along the full long length.

Cosmetic glove for a prosthetic hand

The FCGFL is a cosmetic glove, worn over a prosthetic hand as its outer covering.

Long standard length

A single long length, set as standard, is used for all three sizes.

Size L

L is the largest of the three standard sizes in the FCGFL range.

Size M

M is the middle size, sitting between L and S on the same long length.

Size S

S is the smallest standard size, made to the same long length as M and L.

Standard sizing

Fixed L, M and S sizes let a clinic hold the glove as stock.

Off-the-peg supply

Each glove is ready to fit when it is unpacked, so fitting can follow straight after the size is picked.

Same-visit fitting

Size choice and fitting fall in one appointment, and the patient leaves wearing the glove.

Chairside size selection

With the prosthetic hand in the room, the technician picks L, M or S on the spot.

Single-slot booking

A complete glove fitting fits into one appointment slot on the clinic rota.

Like-for-like renewal

The recorded size is reordered for a replacement, and that glove is fitted in one sitting.

Item number FCGFL

The FCGFL item number identifies the long glove in each of its three sizes.

The FCGFL suits prosthetic clinics that want a cosmetic glove fitted the day it is chosen, and whose technicians want appointment time to go into the fitting itself. Its value lies in readiness. L, M and S are standard sizes on one long length, so a small stock covers every booking and the size decision takes moments at chairside. A first fitting fills a single slot, and a renewal in the recorded size fills the same slot again, which gives the people planning the rota a glove appointment they can place with confidence. For a department fitting upper-limb patients week after week, the FCGFL turns the glove into a single visit, with the silicone fitted and in place before the patient goes home.
