The Bauerfeind ManuLoc Wrist Brace is a wrist orthosis which is prescribed for use in following diagnosis of a “mouse hand”, carpal tunnel syndrome, after an operation or other irritation. It keeps the wrist still while allowing gripping movements. Inappropriate mechanical stress should be avoided. It is lightweight, skin-friendly, breathable materials with additional air holes, easy to put on and take off – especially with just one hand. Feels very comfortable even after long of wearing. It can be worn on the right or the left wrist.
