Wrist brace AM-OSN-U-13

Thumb is the important part of our hand. Its advanced functions increases through the period of baby development. During the first month, newborns typically keep their fingers tightly balled up into tiny fists. As the baby’s awareness of the world grows, the thumb motor skills are advanced and baby is able to pick up tiny objects in a pincer grasp. Without this possibility, we wouldn’t be able to do simple daily activities such as keeping the cup of tea.

Nowadays, our world is full of tablets, smartphones and computers which result in trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis). Prolonged game playing or chatting on the phone keep the thumb locked in a bent position. It results in inflammation which narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. We may call it “Gamer’s thumb”, “Technology thumb” or “Smartphone thumb”. Symptoms of this condition are: tenderness or a bump (nodule) in the palm at the base of the affected finger, morning stiffness and pain.

The best treatment and prevention options are avoiding of grasping and gripping activities and keeping the thumb in an extended position. To do that our innovative wrist brace AM-OSN-U-13 will be perfect.

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.
