FAQs
Is this brace suitable for nighttime use?
While the brace offers support, it is primarily designed for comfortable daytime use. It allows for finger movement, which might not be ideal for maintaining a fully neutral wrist position during sleep for everyone. Consult your healthcare provider for specific nighttime recommendations.
How long can I expect this brace to last?
With proper hand washing and care, the Epitact Carp’Immo wrist brace is designed to be reusable and maintain its supportive qualities for several months.
Can I wear this brace on both hands?
No, the brace is anatomically designed for either the left or the right hand. You must choose the correct version for the hand you intend to use it on.
What is the main benefit of its thin fabric?
The very thin and lightweight fabric (40g) makes the brace incredibly comfortable for extended wear throughout the day and discreet enough to be worn under clothing without bulk.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart, which typically involves measuring your wrist circumference. Select the size that corresponds to your measurement for the best fit and support.
Can I machine wash the brace?
No, the brace should only be hand washed with mild soap and cool water. Machine washing or drying may damage the fabric and reduce its effectiveness.
Does this brace restrict finger movement?
No, a key feature of the Carp’Immo brace is its ergonomic design that preserves full and easy finger movement, allowing you to perform daily tasks without hindrance.
Troubleshooting
Brace feels too tight or constricting
Loosen the adjustable strap. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your wrist. If it remains uncomfortable, consider a larger size or consult the product sizing guide.
Brace slips or doesn't stay in place
Tighten the adjustable strap. Make sure the fabric is smooth against the skin and not bunched up. Ensure the correct hand (left/right) and size are being used.
Reduced effectiveness over time
Hand wash the brace as per care instructions. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing. Over-stretching or prolonged use without washing may reduce its supportive qualities.
Skin irritation or discomfort
Ensure the brace is clean and dry. Verify the fit is not too tight. Take breaks from wearing the brace if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional.
