Experience the pinnacle of orthopedic bracing. Our Volar Wrist Support combines anatomical stabilization with the world-renowned BOA® Fit System, offering a micro-adjustable, secure fit that traditional fasteners cannot match. Designed for patients who require rigid palmar support with effortless, one-handed operation.
Indications: Clinical Applications
This Volar Wrist BOA Brace orthosis is specifically engineered to stabilize the volar (palmar) aspect of the wrist, making it the primary choice for:
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS): Maintains the wrist in a neutral position to minimize median nerve compression.
-
Post-Operative Recovery: Ideal for stabilization following carpal tunnel release or volar ligament repair.
-
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Limits flexion to reduce mechanical stress on the flexor tendons.
-
Acute Wrist Sprains: Provides external support to the radiocarpal joint during the inflammatory phase of healing.
-
Tenosynovitis: Restricts micro-movements of the tendons to allow the synovial sheath to recover.
Technical Features
BOA® Fit System Integration
The integrated BOA® dial and lace system replaces traditional strapping for a superior fit:
-
Micro-Adjustability: Dial in millimetric tension for uniform, circumferential compression without creating localized pressure points.
-
Quick-Release Mechanism: Simply pull the dial to trigger the instant-release system for easy removal.
Anatomical Volar Support
-
Pre-Contoured Palmar Stay: A rigid, removable metal stay follows the natural anatomy of the wrist, providing a structural block against palmar flexion.
-
Functional Clearance: The distal edge is contoured to sit below the distal palmar crease, allowing full range of motion for the fingers and thumb.
Precision Sizing & Length Options
To ensure exact alignment and therapeutic coverage, this device is available in specific configurations:
-
Lateral Orientation: Dedicated Left and Right models.
-
Size Range: Available in Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L).
-
Length Profiles: * 7-Inch Length: Low-profile design for standard stabilization.
Clinical Benefits by Length
Choosing the correct length is essential for matching the brace to the patient’s specific clinical needs:
7-Inch Support: Standard Stabilization
-
Increased Mobility: Ideal for patients transitioning back to daily activities who require support without excessive forearm bulk.
-
Focused Compression: Targets the radiocarpal joint directly, perfect for localized inflammation and mild RSI.
-
Improved Comfort: Higher patient compliance in warmer climates or for those with shorter forearms.
9-Inch Support: Extended Lever Arm
-
Enhanced Immobilization: The extended length creates a longer lever arm, significantly reducing the force required to keep the wrist in a neutral position.
-
Forearm Stability: Provides additional support to the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and helps dampen muscular vibrations in the forearm flexors.
-
Post-Surgical Security: Recommended for post-operative cases where maximum restriction of the proximal wrist area is necessary to protect healing hardware or tissue.
Therapeutic Advantages
-
Optimized Patient Compliance: The ease of the “push-turn-pull” BOA® mechanism makes it accessible for patients with limited hand strength or arthritis.
-
Edema Management: Micro-adjustability allows the patient to loosen the brace if post-traumatic edema increases, preventing circulatory constriction.
-
Breathable Architecture: Constructed from medical-grade, moisture-wicking textiles to prevent skin maceration during long-term wear.
Clinical Instruction: Ensure the volar stay is aligned with the midline of the palm. For the 9-inch model, the proximal end should sit comfortably on the mid-forearm without impeding elbow flexion.
