Manumed active
Intended purpose
Manumed active is a wrist compression support.
Indications
All indications in which support of the wrist by a strengthening or pad is
necessary, such as:
• Wrist injuries, e.g. sprains, distortions
• Osteoarthrosis of the wrist
• Tenosynovitis
• Instability
Contraindications
There are no known side effects if the correctly sized product is fitted as
recommended. However, if supports (or similar aids) are too tight, this may
lead to local pressure effects or the constriction of blood vessels or nerves in
individual cases. You should thus consult your doctor in the following
circumstances and before applying the support,:
• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with
inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening).
• Paralgesia and circulatory disorders of the forearm or hand.
• Lymph outflow disorders as well as unclear swellings of soft tissues outside
the area of use.
Any combination with other products (e.g. arm stockings) must be discussed
beforehand with the attending doctor.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide care to the adults and children,
applying the available information on the measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their own responsibility.
Comment on wear
In principle, the support can be worn for the whole day but should be taken off
during longer periods of rest (e.g. sleep). But you should make this dependent
on how you feel.
The support is suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse out thoroughly.
