Carpal tunnel syndrome orthosis for night-time use
This Chrisofix® night-time orthosis supports the wrist in the position selected for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Its pre-shaped, adjustable shell and fastening straps provide support during night-time rest. The PREMIUM FORTE model shown includes lining.
Product overview
For night-time rest; right hand REF 33, left hand REF 34. Sizes S, M and L are selected by palm width. Wearing time and wrist position follow the individual treatment plan.
Why this design?
Adjustable fit
The pre-shaped shell can be adapted with gentle pressure. Initial fitting and substantial reshaping should be performed by a healthcare professional.
Targeted support
The orthosis supports the wrist and limits movements that are undesirable during treatment. The night-time design prioritises stable support during rest.
PREMIUM FORTE with lining
The adjustable shell, lining and straps form a fitted support. Shaping does not require heat or water.
Indications
A treating healthcare professional may select this wrist orthosis for the following manufacturer-listed applications:
- Night-time wrist support for carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Tenosynovitis, arthritis and other degenerative wrist conditions, according to professional assessment.
- Wrist pain or injuries such as sprains and ligament injuries; care following wrist surgery or removal of a cast, when prescribed.
How it works
The shell is shaped to the hand and wrist, and the straps maintain the prescribed position. The aim is controlled wrist support during rest; the exact position and wearing schedule are set by the treating professional.
Fitting and use
Fit: position the hand and wrist as instructed, then adapt the pre-shaped shell with gentle pressure. Initial fitting and substantial reshaping should be performed by a healthcare professional.
Fasten: close the straps to hold the wrist securely without excessive tightness or local pressure on the skin.
Check: monitor the fit and skin during use. Keep repeated bending of the shell to the necessary minimum.
