Wrist splints are supportive devices designed to immobilize and stabilize the wrist joint. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and wrist injuries. Made from materials like fabric, plastic, or metal, wrist splints help reduce pain and prevent further injury by limiting movement. These splints can be worn during daily activities or while sleeping, depending on the severity of the condition. They come in various styles, including wrist braces and thumb spica splints, to accommodate different needs. Proper fitting is essential for effectiveness and comfort, ensuring the wrist is adequately supported.
