this, scan the QR code next to Figure 7 and
follow the instructions in the video
• Pull the support over the wrist until the
joint is enclosed by the knit fabric and pad
without any pressure being exerted on it.
• The support fits correctly when the bony
protrusion on the outside of the wrist is
enclosed by the pad's ring-shaped cutout
1 .
• Fasten the narrow side of the strap (light
blue velour) on the light blue Velcro area (if
not already pre-fastened) 2 . For optimum
stabilization, move your wrist towards the
back of your hand.
• Guide the strap to in the direction of your
little finger 3 , then over the palm of your
hand between the thumb and index finger
4 and back to the wrist
5 . Then wrap the strap around the wrist
and fasten it to the wide strap 6 7 .

the support to guide you (grey lines).
• For increased stabilization, loosen the
strap and re-tighten it applying more
tension.
Alternative
• For more gentle treatment, separate the
strap halves by separating the Velcro
areas from one another (see Figures

of your wrist) around the wrist C . Then
fasten the strap in the desired position D .

place both parts with the Velcro area
facing upwards and outwards (see full
strap figure in the image series

from Figure III to I .
