Description of the Epitact ® Carp’ Immo The EPITACT® carpal tunnel wrist brace has a technical and patented design that includes: • A support sleeve made of soft and thin fabric. • A semi-rigid, thermo-injected, plastic reinforcement that comfortably immobilises the wrist in a resting position. It has a hinge that opens wide to enable easy application and removal of the brace. • A hook and loop fastening strap to fit the brace evenly around your wrist without applying pressure on the carpal tunnel. How does the Epitact ® Carp’Immo work? Wearing a carpal tunnel wrist splint or brace is one of the first recommendations for treating mild carpal tunnel symptoms. The EPITACT® wrist brace is recommended for carpal tunnel syndrome and inflammation, tendonitis, or other musculoskeletal disorders of the wrist. Because it is rigid, it should only be worn at night, at any rest time you do not use your hands, or during flare-ups. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome often occur at night, which can greatly disturb your sleep. Indeed, and contrary to what we might think, the wrist is not completely resting at night. Whether we do it consciously or not, we often bend it or place our hand under the pillow, which applies pressure on the wrist. Those traumatic and prolonged positions increase nerve compression and so the pain related to carpal tunnel syndrome. The solution is to keep the wrist straight to avoid the positions and movements that trigger pain. The EPITACT® carpal tunnel wrist brace immobilises the wrist in a neutral position to relieve your troublesome symptoms. It has been created to be as effective as it is comfortable. Indeed, it adapts perfectly to the curves of your hand thanks to pre-shaped and semi-rigid reinforcements. In addition, it immobilises the wrist but not the fingers for more comfort and motion freedom for you to recover and have a peaceful night’s sleep.
