PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
Your Push med wrist brace offers a high level of support, protection and rest of the wrist, without restricting the functionality of the hand. The anatomically shaped stiffeners limit palmary and dorsal flexion without obstructing it completely. The level of compression can be optimised by an easy-to-apply elastic band. The brace is easily fitted with one hand around the lower arm.
Comfort zones of padded material have been created around vulnerable areas of the wrist. A proper anatomic fit contribute to the brace remaining in position during movements.
The brace is made of Sympress(tm), a high-quality comfortable material. The use of microfibres makes the inside feel soft and keeps the skin dry. The Push med wrist brace can be washed normally.
INDICATIONS
Therapy-resistant strain complaints of the wrist extensors
Moderate to serious rheumatoid complaints
Carpal tunnel syndrome
RSI
There are no known disorders where the brace cannot or should not be worn. In the case of poor blood circulation in the limbs, a brace may cause hyperaemia. Avoid applying the brace too tightly in the beginning.
Pain is always a sign of warning. If the pain persists or the complaint deteriorates, it is advisable to consult your doctor or therapist.
DETERMINING SIZE / FITTING
The wrist brace is available in 4 sizes. Measure the circumference of the wrist, as shown in the illustration on the packaging. The table on the packaging shows the correct brace size for your wrist size.
A
The correct fitting sequence is determined by the increasing molecule symbols on the Velcro.
Slide the base around the hand until it reaches the thumb.
Use the non-elastic band to set the required compression around the wrist.
B
Close the brace around the lower arm and hand.
Adjusting the spoon
The spoon is made from Thermolyn, a synthetic material that can be shaped both in a cold and in a warm state. This makes it easy to achieve a functionally optimal position of the wrist for each individual. Using a hammer to tap the spoon into the desired shape, is the easiest solution. To shape the spoon in a warm state, the material must be heated to approximately 160ºC, either in an oven or with a hair-drier.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Before washing, close the Velcro to protect the brace and other laundry.
The brace can be washed at temperatures up to 30°C, on a delicate fabrics cycle or by hand. Do not use any bleaching agents.
A gentle spin-dry cycle can be used: after this, hang the brace up to dry in the open air (not near a heating source or in a tumble drier).
To extend the brace’s service life, it should be dried after use, if necessary, before being stored.
IMPORTANT
Proper use of the Push brace may require diagnosis by a doctor or therapist.
Optimal functioning can only be achieved by selecting the right size. Fit the brace before use. Save the product information, to be able to reread the fitting instructions later.
Consult a specialist if the product requires individual adaptation.
Check your Push brace each time before using for signs of wear or ageing of parts or seams. Optimal performance of your Push brace can only be guaranteed if the product is fully intact.
