How Does The Carpal Mate Work?
Prevents Flexion:
The Carpal Mate forms a cradle that, in conjunction with the rigid angle, holds the wrist firmly in a non-dropping, neutral position.
Prevents Opposition:
When the hand is properly elevated in a neutral zone, no support is needed because the fatty pads (eminences) are naturaly separated and the Carpal Tunnel is open. However, when the hand is dropped, the Carpal Mate engages the palmar pad and holds the eminences apart and restricts finger opposition.
Reduces Radial-Ulnar Opposition:
When moving hand from side-to-side, the Carpal Mate's palmar pad provides resistance at the Thenar and Hypothenar Eminences. The Carpal Mate's cradle provides modest restistance of side-to-side movement, making it noticeable without impeding hand use and dexterity.
Sizing: The Carpal Mate is sized to fit most wrists and can be used on either hand.
Care Instructions: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Pat dry with towel to remove excess water. Air dry away from heat.
Customer Review
"Thank you for sending the carpal tunnel wrist support, it has made a huge difference. I've been suffering from carpal tunnel pain for years due to my work as a typist. This support has reduced the pain dramatically, thanks!"
Cathryn Revell, Manchester, UK
"After having Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery, I still was not able to sleep at night because my hands were throbbing and hurting. Pain was in both of my thumbs and wrists. After using the Carpal mate the first night, I felt the difference. I was able to sleep. I have been using it for nine weeks now, thank you"
