The human hand is a very complex mechanism. It contains a large number of bones, it contains dozens of muscles and tendons, ligaments and nerve endings that intertwine and work as a single system. The movements of the hand, fingers and joints are so balanced and harmonious that we can do any work with our hands, even if it requires great accuracy and precision.    

All this becomes impossible when a person has a wrist injury or disease. Immediately it becomes difficult or even impossible to carry out daily activities, hold a pen, type on a computer, handle various tools, and so on. Each movement causes pronounced soreness. These problems, as well as their occurrence, can be very different. So carpal tunnel syndromes, sprains, dislocations and fractures of bones, bruises, etc. are very common. The causes of these problems are different: injuries, heavy lifting, practicing some sports ("tennis player's elbow"), frequent repetitive movements of the wrists or prolonged load on them, performing manipulations with the use of hands that require effort, hypothermia, and there are also diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis and other diseases.  For all injuries and diseases, as well as for the prevention of their occurrence, it is recommended to use orthopedic products.

There are several types of orthopedic products. Conventionally, they are divided into two large groups

• Изделия Products with a slight degree of fixation This category includes elastic bandages, which are most often used for preventive purposes. Its main task is to provide the necessary compression. Such modified "bandages" can often be seen on athletes who use them to protect the wrists, elbow and shoulder joints from sprains and dislocations. The retainer does not limit the mobility of the joint, but only slightly limits the amplitude of movements.
•  Products with strong fixation Rigid fixation can be provided with the help of clamps, splints, orthoses for hands. They have a more complex design. Their basis is a rigid frame made of metal or plastic, products made of dense fabrics with rigid inserts that absolutely immobilize a certain part of the arm. They are used after fractures and dislocation reduction, as well as after operations, for example, endoprosthetics for the speedy restoration of the problem area.  

Orthopedic hand products are made of various materials having different elasticity and thickness. Many products have special Velcro, laces or fasteners that make it possible to adjust the compression (compression) and the position of the joint (flexion or extension). Before you buy a product, make sure that you have chosen it correctly, since in addition the required model must take into account the size of the product and the location of the injury (right or left hand).

In this regard, orthopedic hand products are:

• Right-handed  for the right hand.  
• Left-handed  for the left hand.  
• Universal equally well suited for both limbs
