Sanctband Putty for Hand Therapy: A guide for Clinics
Sanctband™ Putty is trusted by therapists to build hand strength and control.
In the world of hand therapy, few products are as versatile, accessible, and effective as Sanctband therapy putty. For clinics across Australia, Sanctband™ Putty stands out as a trusted choice for rehabilitation professionals looking to improve grip strength, dexterity, and fine motor control in patients of all ages.
What Is Sanctband Putty?
Sanctband™ Putty is a pliable, latex-free hand therapy product designed for resistive exercises of the fingers, hands, and wrists. Whether you're working with patients recovering from injury, surgery, or managing neurological or orthopaedic conditions, Sanctband Putty offers a progressive, low-impact way to rebuild functional hand strength and coordination.
Clinical Benefits for Therapists
Therapists value Sanctband Putty for its effectiveness in:
Improving grip strength and range of motion
Enhancing finger and hand dexterity
Supporting coordination and fine motor skills
Rehabilitating post-operative hand and wrist function
Available in six colour-coded resistance levels (Extra Soft to Super Firm), the putty allows for graded progression based on patient ability—making it suitable for everything from early recovery to advanced strengthening.
How to Use in Therapy
Sanctband Putty can be moulded and stretched into various shapes to perform exercises like:
Finger hook and scissor grip
Pinch grip and thumb press
Finger spread and rolling techniques
These motions target different muscle groups, making it a holistic option for hand and forearm rehabilitation.
Oil- and Stain-Free Advantage: How Sanctband Outperforms Other Brands
One of the biggest complaints about traditional therapy putty is its tendency to leave greasy residue on hands, equipment, and furniture. Sanctband Putty is specially formulated to be:
Oil-free – Leaves no slick or greasy feel after use
Stain-free – Won’t discolour clothes, therapy surfaces, or patient hands
Compared to many conventional putties that break down over time and leave behind oily smears, Sanctband Putty maintains its integrity, offering a cleaner and more professional experience for both therapist and patient. This makes it a top choice for hygiene-conscious clinics and health practitioners.
Available Sizes for Clinical Use
Sanctband Putty is available in:
85g tubs – ideal for personal or individual patient use
2kg bulk containers – perfect for high-volume clinical settings
Both options provide smooth texture and consistent resistance without leaving oily residue, helping therapists maintain hygiene and patient comfort during use.
Safety Considerations:
Always consult a healthcare professional before starting use, especially for those with existing conditions.
Do not expose the putty to high temperatures or leave in direct sunlight.
Children should use only under strict adult supervision—the product can pose a choking hazard.
Discontinue use immediately if pain or discomfort occurs.
Why Clinics Choose Sanctband
Sanctband is known globally for its clinical-grade rehabilitation products that are affordable, reliable, and easy to integrate into daily therapy routines. The putty is latex-free, making it a safe option for patients with sensitivities or allergies, and it complements a full range of hand therapy products such as mini loops, flex bars, and hand exercisers available at Australian Medical Supplies.
