A carpal tunnel splint is an orthopedic device designed to relieve pain and numbness associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by holding the wrist in a neutral, straight position to minimize pressure on the median nerve. Key specifications include the materials used for stabilization and comfort, and the design features that allow for a secure, adjustable fit.
General Specifications
- Intended Use: Management of mild to moderate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), wrist sprains/strains, tendonitis, and post-operative recovery.
Key Features & Adjustability
- Closure Type: Multiple adjustable hook-and-loop (Velcro) straps (typically 3) ensure a secure, customized fit and compression level.
- Design: Ergonomically shaped to hold the wrist in a neutral, slightly extended position (around 10 degrees) to offload pressure on the median nerve.
- Freedom of Movement: The design typically leaves the fingers and thumb free to perform daily tasks while keeping the wrist immobilized.
- Ease of Use: Features like thumb loops and single-pull lace mechanisms facilitate easy self-application and removal with one hand.
