WRIST BRACE DOUBLE LOCK

About

A wrist brace with a double lock mechanism is an advanced orthopedic support designed to provide superior immobilization and stability to the wrist joint. The "double lock" feature typically refers to a system of two independent or reinforced fastening straps or closures that ensure a more secure and customized fit, preventing slippage and maintaining optimal therapeutic positioning. This enhanced stability is particularly beneficial for more severe wrist injuries, post-surgical recovery, or conditions requiring strict immobilization, such as complex fractures or severe ligamentous damage. By limiting virtually all unwanted wrist movement, it effectively reduces pain, minimizes inflammation, and creates an optimal environment for tissue healing, while protecting the joint from further trauma and ensuring consistent support throughout the recovery period.

Uses

• Severe wrist sprains and strains.
• Post-surgical wrist immobilization.
• Management of wrist fractures.
• Advanced carpal tunnel syndrome support.

Directions For Use

Position the brace, align the rigid stay, and secure both locking straps firmly for maximum stability.
