Children's Wrist & Thumb Support #4068

The 4068 Children's Wrist & Thumb Support is designed to provide support to both the wrist and the CMC joint. The anatomical design and small sizes enable a precise fit for a child's small hands. The support is made of a soft, breathable material that's colorful, too. Unique color-coded hook & loop closures on the dorsal side makes it easy for children to apply the support themselves. An adjustable thumb grip provides optimal support of the thenar muscle, while an aluminum splint on the volar side supports the wrist.

Instructions For 4068 Children's Wrist & Thumb Support

It's important to select the right size for the child. Use the measurement chart as a guideline but always have the child try on the support to ensure the correct size.

Adjust the aluminum splint and place it in the support's pocket.

Try on the support with the adjusted splint in the pocket. Attach the hook & loop closures, then adjust the thumb strap so the thenar muscle is supported. If possible, teach the child how to put on and take off the support. The hook & loop closures are color-coded to make correct application easy.

Be sure to check the child's skin for pressure marks the first five times the support is used.

If pressure marks occur, adjust the splint. If pressure marks still occur even after adjustment, consult your therapist, orthotist or physician.

Washing Instructions

Attach hook & loop closures before washing. Hand wash the support in cold water with mild detergent. Let air dry.
