ABOUT CARPALMATE
CarpalMate is a lightweight wrist support orthopaedically designed to maintain the wrist in a neutral position while allowing full finger dexterity. The moulded portion of the support extends from the distal forearm to just past the wrist and sits comfortably between the Thenar and Hypothenar Eminances (fatty parts of the palm). This design prevents the wrist from dropping and prevents excess thumb and finger opposition. Controlling these motions will prevent excess flexion of the wrist and finger flexor tendons thus avoiding overuse. Overuse can cause tendon inflammation which causes pressure on the Median Nerve and is the cause of painful Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CarpalMate is ideal for activities that require repetitive stressful motions such as:
-
Typing
-
Data Entry
-
Small part Assembly
