Wrist Brace- ManuLoc Long

To ensure a proper fit for the ManuLoc Long wrist brace, accurate wrist and forearm measurements are essential. Here’s how to measure for the right size:

Measurement Instructions:

1. Measure Wrist Circumference:
   • Use a flexible tape measure.
   • Wrap the tape around your wrist just above the bony part (around the area where you would typically wear a watch).
   • Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight.
   • Record the measurement in centimeters or inches.
2. Measure Forearm Circumference:
   • Measure the circumference of your forearm approximately 10 cm (4 inches) up from the wrist. This additional measurement ensures that the brace fits comfortably along the extended portion of your forearm.
   • Ensure the tape is snug and flat, without being overly tight.
   • Record this measurement as well.
3. Check Sizing Chart:
   • Use the sizing chart below for the ManuLoc Long brace. Typically, sizes are based on wrist circumference, and the forearm measurement ensures the extended brace fits securely.

• Extended Design for Extra Support:
  • Unlike the standard ManuLoc brace, the ManuLoc Long extends further up the forearm, offering increased stability and immobilization. This added length ensures that the wrist and lower forearm are kept in a neutral position, reducing strain on the affected area.
• Anatomically Shaped:
  • The brace is designed to fit the natural curves of the wrist and forearm, providing targeted support without restricting hand or finger movement. It allows for free thumb movement while keeping the wrist securely stabilized.
• Breathable and Lightweight Materials:
  • Made from soft, breathable fabrics, the brace minimizes sweat buildup and skin irritation, ensuring comfort during extended wear. Its lightweight construction also prevents bulkiness, making it easier to wear throughout the day.
• Adjustable Velcro Straps:
  • The brace comes with multiple Velcro straps for personalized adjustment. These straps allow users to easily secure the brace to their desired tightness, ensuring a snug, supportive fit while preventing unwanted movement.
• Open-Palm and Thumb Design:
  • The open-thumb and palm design allows the fingers and thumb to move freely, so daily tasks can be performed without compromising wrist support. This design helps maintain hand functionality while immobilizing the wrist.
• Rigid Support Structure:
  • The ManuLoc Long brace includes rigid supports that prevent the wrist from bending, providing stability and reducing the risk of further injury. These supports are strategically placed to limit motion while promoting healing.

To maintain the quality, functionality, and hygiene of your ManuLoc Long wrist brace, follow these care instructions:

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Hand Wash Only:
   • The brace should be hand-washed in lukewarm water (up to 30°C or 86°F).
   • Avoid using a washing machine, as the mechanical agitation can damage the brace’s structure and straps.
2. Mild Detergent:
   • Use a mild soap or detergent that is gentle on the fabric. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the materials over time.
3. Rinse Thoroughly:
   • After washing, thoroughly rinse the brace to remove all soap or detergent residue, as this can cause skin irritation if left in the fabric.

Drying Instructions:

1. Air Dry:
   • Lay the brace flat on a clean towel and let it air dry. Avoid hanging it by the straps, as this could cause stretching or deformation.
   • Do not use a dryer, hair dryer, or place the brace in direct sunlight, as excessive heat may warp the support structures and damage the fabric.
2. Do Not Wring Out:
   • Gently press out excess water using a towel. Do not twist or wring out the brace, as this can cause damage to the materials and shape.

Maintenance Tips:

1. Regular Cleaning:
   • Clean the brace regularly, especially after heavy use or sweating, to prevent odor buildup and maintain hygiene.
2. Check Velcro Straps:
   • Periodically check the Velcro straps for debris, lint, or dust, which can reduce their effectiveness. You can use a small brush or adhesive tape to remove any buildup.
3. Inspect for Damage:
   • Routinely inspect the brace for signs of wear, such as fraying fabric or loose stitching. 

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your ManuLoc Long wrist brace stays in good condition and continues to provide the necessary support for your recovery or condition.
