Hand and Wrist Brace
A wrist and hand brace is an orthopedic device designed to provide support, stability, and compression to the wrist and hand area, typically used to treat conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, arthritis, and wrist sprains or fractures. These braces are often constructed from breathable materials, such as neoprene or cotton, with adjustable straps to ensure a secure fit. Some versions may include rigid metal or plastic supports to further restrict movement and allow proper healing.
Key features of wrist and hand braces often include:
- Stabilization: Designed to immobilize or limit motion in the wrist and hand to prevent further injury or strain.
- Compression: Helps to reduce swelling, alleviate pain, and promote circulation.
- Adjustability: Equipped with Velcro straps or buckles for customized fit and compression levels.
- Breathability and Comfort: Made with lightweight, breathable materials to ensure comfort for prolonged wear.
Common Uses
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Wrist braces help relieve pressure on the median nerve, reducing symptoms like numbness and tingling.
- Post-surgical Support: Helps immobilize the wrist and hand following surgery or injury to ensure proper healing.
- Arthritis: Provides warmth and compression, which can alleviate joint pain in the wrist and hand.
- Sports Injuries: Can be used for athletes recovering from sprains, strains, or fractures to provide protection and support during activity.
Wrist and hand braces are often prescribed by doctors or physical therapists as part of a treatment plan, though many are also available over-the-counter for preventive or mild injury support.
