How Does the BeneCare Neoprene Thumb and Wrist Support Work?
Injuries in the wrist are often linked to the thumb, and injuries in the thumb are often linked to the wrist, which is why in treatment you need to take into account the movement of both areas. The BeneCare Neoprene Wrist and Thumb Support will stabilise both areas, ensuring that the injury isn't aggravated by any unnecessary movement. However, as the Neoprene Support features an open thumb, it enables you to retain a certain level of movement making it ideal for less severe conditions.
How Easy is the BeneCare Wrist and Thumb Support to Fit?
If you are suffering from a thumb or wrist injury, then the last thing that you want to do is to aggravate your injury by putting on a difficult, uncomfortable splint. The BeneCare Support is designed to be extremely easy to wear, fitting over the hand like a glove. Once the support is in place, you'll be awarded with full dexterity of your hand and fingers, perfect for carrying on with your life.
How Comfortable Is the BeneCare Support to Wear?
Wearing a thick support on your wrist and hand can be a bit uncomfortable and can also get in the way, so it's important to buy the right support for you. The compression provided by the BeneCare Thumb and Wrist Support is gentle and soft, while the cooling terrycloth liner prevents your hands from overheating. This ensures that your hand won't overheat or become irritable, perfect for wearing through an entire day.
