How Does Elastic Compression Help You?
Compression applies gentle pressure to the area around the injury, this helps to improve circulation which prevents excess swelling. Swelling is actually partially caused by a build up of waste products around the site of the injury or condition, so improving circulation helps your body remove these by-products and stop them from causing you pain and discomfort.

Designed specifically for people with potentially limited mobility, this wrist and thumb brace is easy to put on and take off, even one handed.
