•
Rheumatoid arthritis

2.3 Contraindications
2.3.1 Absolute Contraindications
None known.
2.3.2 Relative Contraindications
The following indications require consultation with a physician: skin dis
eases/injuries, inflammation, prominent, swollen scars, reddening and
hyperthermia in the relevant area; pronounced varicose veins, especially with
impaired blood return, lymph drainage disorders and unclear soft tissue
swelling distal to the product; sensory and circulatory disorders in the area
of the forearm and hand, e.g. associated with diabetic neuropathy.
2.4 Mechanism of Action
The form-knitted support provides targeted wrist compression and stabiliza
tion. The support promotes sensorimotor functions and activates muscular
stabilization. The anatomically pre-shaped and individually adaptable volar
plastic splint keeps the hand in an ideal position and limits wrist movement.
The pad in the radial section of the wrist enhances the micro-massage and
promotes the resorption of edemas, hematomas and effusions.
