Frequently asked questions
Does the brace provide adjustable support for the fingers?
Yes, this brace features adjustable aluminum stays that allow for precise angulation of the 4th and 5th metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints, ensuring the hand is positioned for optimal healing.
Is the material comfortable for extended periods of wear?

How does the V-Strap system help with daily use?
The patented V-Strap retention system keeps the palmar closure straps securely positioned within a plastic buckle. This prevents the straps from shifting and makes the process of applying and removing the brace significantly easier and more consistent.

Yes, the brace features an internal clamshell design that provides robust structural protection, specifically targeting the 4th and 5th metacarpals to ensure they remain immobilized throughout the recovery process.
Will this brace fit my wrist correctly?

Is the brace suitable for a right-handed patient?

Does this brace require professional adjustment for the stays?
While the aluminum stays are designed to be adjustable to help set the optimal healing angle, they can be managed by medical professionals or the patient to achieve the desired level of stabilization.
What is the primary function of the internal liner?
The integrated internal liner serves two essential roles for a patient recovering from a fracture:
- Moisture Management: Keeps the skin dry by wicking away perspiration.
- Hygiene Protection: Contains properties that actively prevent bacterial growth, which is critical for comfort during prolonged use.
