NRX® Manex radial 2.0 short wrist & thumb support brace

Description

NRX® is a new neoprene material made from 100% pure CR. It provides a higher elasticity and durability than normal neoprene materials. The CR-foam is laminated with textile jersey in the inside for a comfortable feeling. The outside can have both durable nylon or hook receivable material. NRX® has been tested for skin irritation.

This support brace has been specially designed for radial nerve palsy or drop-hand syndrome but can also be used for other diagnostic groups. It can replace and support weak muscles and support a functional grip. The kit consists of a dorsal wrist part with a thermoplastic insert, finger platform, a thumb piece and a foam strap. The foam strap can replace the finger platform when used as a night splint. The thermoplastic piece can be moulded individually over the dorsal part of the hand by using hot water (75-80 degrees C). That can be done either directly in the pocket of the brace or externally and then inserted into the pocket once it’s stable. The dorsal splint creates a platform where the finger and thumb parts can be attached for individual extension assist.

Indications: Radial nerve palsy, drop hand syndrome after CVA, carpel tunnel syndrome, post trauma after distal radius fracture or ulnar deviation of the MCP-joints.

• A thinner and more flexible NRX® material provides a lower profile

• Improved thumb design with a slightly less stretch for more extension support and a full hook receivable surface where the new micro hook can be attached anywhere
• An improved finger platform design, also with a hook receivable surface allowing attachment of the hook anywhere
