Orthopedic Splints

The object in the image is an orthopedic splint, likely for the wrist and/or hand, and its main characteristics are:

Immobilization and Support: It is designed to maintain and immobilize a portion of the upper limb (wrist, hand, fingers) in a neutral or therapeutic position, aiding in healing or pain relief.

Material and Comfort: Made of a soft and potentially thermoformable material to adapt to the user’s morphology, it may include padded elements for comfort, such as fabric linings (e.g., jersey).

Closure System: It uses hook-and-loop straps (Velcro) for easy closure, a secure fit, and complete support of the limb.

Adaptability: Some splints of this type can be thermoformed for a precise fit and can be cut to fit the user’s specific morphology.

Function: It is used for various conditions such as sprains, fractures, tendonitis, or osteoarthritis (such as rhizarthrosis of the thumb), providing support and compression.
