APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
Choose the support in the Left or Right model according to the affected hand.

Pull the support over your hand and wrist, placing the thumb in the opening on the side.

For correct positioning, ensure that the hole of the silicone insert located on the interior of the support covers the tuberosity on the lateral (external) part of the wrist.
-
The removable palmar aluminum stay can be adjusted to individual needs by bending it carefully.
-
If needed, attach the removable strap to the small velours piece on the internal side of the support and wrap it around the wrist. The strap will provide additional compression and stability, adjust it according to your needs. Avoid tightening the strap too much and loosen it immediately if you feel it is too tight.
Advice: When using the removable strap, avoid direct contact between the Hook & Loop of the strap and the knitted support, as this will damage the visual aspect of the knit. -
