Leather Splints
Melbourne Hand Rehab custom make leather splints to fit you individually. If you are restricted in your activities due to ongoing wrist or thumb pain, or wrist arthritis, you may have a need for a brace to support the wrist.
Our splints provide maximum support for long term use of chronic injuries including osteoarthritis and chronic wrist pain.
Custom made, long lasting, leather braces and splints fit your wrist perfectly, are hard wearing and breathable. Our braces allow for a comfortable degree of movement, while providing exceptional support for the wrist.
The benefit of leather is that overtime it adjusts to your body and conforms to you. It’s environmentally friendly too.
A leather splint or brace may be suitable for treating:
- Osteoarthritis of the wrist and thumb
- Rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist
- Wrist instability
- SLAC wrist
- Partial fusions
- Following fractures
