Wrist and thumb support brace | 268

ONE SIZE

Planning and design:

The product is anatomically designed to stabilize and limit movement of the joint and thumb, without interfering with the hand's ability to grip. Using a brace is suitable for people whose pain is due to overuse. The aluminum stabilizers are located in pockets that allow for easy removal for changing direction. The fixture is designed at an optimal anatomical angle for the wrist, leaving the fingers free to allow for extended use if necessary. Without detracting from the functional ability of the hand.

Pain reduction:

Restricting movement makes it easier for the muscles and tissues that participate in movement in this joint (bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves) to work. The brace limits the movement of the joint and thumb by hugging the joint on one side, and fixing it with aluminum stabilizers on the other side. Thanks to these properties, using the fixator reduces swelling and relieves pain.

In addition, the stabilizers also serve as a reminder to avoid activities that may strain or impair tissue healing.

Rehabilitation and recovery:

The wrist brace plays an important role in the rehabilitation and recovery process of wrist injuries. In situations after prolonged immobilization following a fracture, or after wrist surgery, the brace provides support and protection during the healing phase. The brace helps maintain proper posture, prevents excessive movement, and reduces the risk of re-injury. As healing progresses, the degree of pressure can be reduced and the duration of use of the retainer can be reduced. These actions help restore range of motion, improve muscle coordination, and improve function.

1. To fit the correct hand (right or left), remove the aluminum stabilizers from the pockets, turn them over and insert them into the opposite side holster. (The angle can be adjusted by slightly bending the aluminum stabilizer).
2. First, tighten the thumb Velcro for the correct fit.
3. The two parts of the brace must be connected using the Velcro (the thumb part and the wrist part).
4. Now you can insert your hand and tighten the three Velcro straps for a precise fit.
