Pedimend™ Wrist and Thumb Support is used for increased protection, compression and support and to promote faster recovery from injury. The design follows the contours of the tendons and ligaments to provide additional support and compression to the wrist. Due to the material of the wrist Support (elastic), it helps retain heat and increase blood flow to soft tissue injuries to aid recovery and help prevent further injury. The material removes excess perspiration and allows the skin to breathe and the seamless design provides added comfort.
