– Safe and comfortable at night
When a patient suffers from a stroke, one of the biggest issues can be residual pain in the hand. This stroke hand splint is soft and comfortable, while also reducing and preventing the painful flexion contractions that can plague people throughout the recovery process. These same issues with curling of fingers and flexing of fingers can be a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome and later stages of Parkinson’s. Luckily, this functional hand splint eases those symptoms, and can be used for long term relief. The impeccable design and flawless engineering means it is highly breathable and the breathable fabric eliminates odors and sweat. This means the splint can be worn on a daily basis, and even worn overnight. This splint is designed for consistent use, and will be a necessity once the patient first tries it on. While many practitioners and physical therapists recommend designs that cost hundreds of dollars, we are thrilled to be able to provide a high quality, functional resting splint at a fraction of the cost.
