Paediatric Lycrafleece Wrist Splint

Supporting and protecting the wrist after an injury occurs is crucial to the healing and rehabilitation process, especially in children who are active, often unaware and on-the-go more than adults. The Paediatric Lycrafleece Wrist Splint grants your child an optimal balance between comfort and protection while they recover from sprains, strains, instability fractures and a range of other soft-tissue injuries.

Which Size Paediatric Lycrafleece Wrist Splint Is Right for My Child?

This paediatric wrist splint is available in five different sizes to suit the majority of children. To find the right one for your child, please measure the circumference of their wrist at the area shown in the image below.

Once you have this measurement, please consult the sizing table beneath  to select the correct size wrist support for them.

How Do I Know If The Lycrafleece Splint Fits Correctly?

Naturally, child are often not used to wearing braces and splints, meaning that any slight discomfort may be amplified and result in a refusal to wear their splint due to discomfort. Thankfully, checking to see if the brace is doing its job and helping your child could not be easier.

Once your child has fitted their brace for the first time, you can check that it is the correct size for them by: 

• Ensuring the central splint on the underside runs along the centre of their wrist
• Checking that the thumb strap should attach securely across the thumb crotch
• Rigid metal stay promotes healing by keeping wrist and forearm in position
• Asking them to try out some general classroom activities like writing whilst wearing their brace
• Making sure each of the four main straps are attached securely across the back of the hand

How Does the Paediatric Lycrafleece Wrist Splint Work?

Using a single rigid metal splint piece, the Paediatric Lycrafleece Splint works by keeping the wrist bone and forearm in place whilst healing occurs following an injury.

Why Choose This Wrist Splint?

Wearing any sort of support or brace can be difficult for children, both comfort wise and visually. The stylish and colourful design is popular with children, making it easier to tolerate when worn at school and on the playground.
