Your wrist is the joint between the two bones of the lower arm (radius and ulna) and the five bones of the hand and is made up of eight carpal bones. The muscles and tendons attached to all these bones allow you to rotate your wrist, as if screwing in a light bulb, and bend and flex your wrist, as if bouncing a basketball. Because of the complexity and frequent use of the wrist joint, injuries are common.

 

A wrist brace is a device designed to stabilize the wrist joint and forearm in order to promote proper wrist alignment and aid with the healing of injuries to the wrist. A wrist brace usually consists of flexible but sturdy cloth that is wrapped and fasten tightly around the wrist and forearm. Some braces incorporate rigid structures, often made of plastic, to help the wrist conform to a certain range of movement and inhibit movement in a direction that would cause injury. Wrists are one of the most commonly injured joints, especially in older women, and those who work in manual labor.

 

Our wrist braces can be used to prevent and/or treat conditions such as: arthritis, Wrist dislocation, wrist instability, carpal tunnel syndrome, Tenosynovitis, mild sprain, moderate sprain, severe sprain, mild strain, moderate strain, severe strain, tendonitis, weak wrists, and aching wrists.
