Intrinsic Wrist Brace
Supporting the wrist and fingers is essential when it comes to treating conditions such as arthritis, as by steadying the hand, the joints are given the chance to heal and once again reach full functionality. The Intrinsic Wrist Brace is an ideal choice, allowing for the immobilisation of both the wrist and fingers with a full-length, adjustable aluminium splint that supports the wrist and is wide enough to accommodate all four fingers. With the wrist stabilised, a dorsal pad can be used to secure the fingers and hold them in one position.
This wrist support is available in five sizes for either the left or right wrist. Choose your desired option using the drop-down menus above.
