Adjustable orthosis designed to immobilise and stabilise the wrist
This thermoformable wrist-hand orthosis is designed to stabilise the wrist after an injury, sprain or in certain situations requiring immobilisation. Its adaptable structure and progressive fastening system provide precise support according to the shape of the user’s hand.
The thermoformable wrist-hand orthosis is designed to immobilise and support the wrist during treatment or recovery. It helps restrict movements that may increase pain or place additional strain on weakened structures.
Its structure can be moulded to the shape of the hand and wrist, providing a more personalised fit than a standard splint. The orthosis must be shaped carefully to ensure appropriate support without creating excessive pressure.
The adjustable fastening system allows the level of support around the wrist to be modified gradually. It helps distribute pressure evenly and makes it possible to adapt the fit according to the user’s comfort and any changes in swelling.
The design leaves the fingers free and preserves part of the hand’s functional mobility. Open areas around the palm and the base of the thumb also help improve comfort during use.
The correct side, thermoforming, fastening tension and duration of use should be determined according to the injury and the recommendations of a doctor or another healthcare professional.

The choice of a wrist-hand orthosis depends on the affected side, the shape of the hand, the type of injury and the required level of immobilisation. An orthosis that is too tight may cause excessive pressure, while one that is too loose may not stabilise the wrist correctly.
Our team can advise you in our store in Molenbeek-Brussels and help check the size, affected side, thermoforming, positioning and overall comfort of the orthosis.
