medi Manumed Kidz Wrist Support

$112.00

Manumed Kidz is the children's version of the Manumed wrist brace. A pre-shaped aluminium splint runs along the palm side of the wrist and three straps hold it there; the brace slips on rather than wrapping around, so a child can manage it with one hand.

It is for a sprain or strain of the wrist, immobilisation after an operation, inflammation and other disorders of the tendons in the wrist, and inflammatory phases of rheumatic disorders.

The brace immobilises and stabilises the wrist. The splint lifts out and can be bent to the shape of a child's wrist — the fitter does this at the first fitting — and the wide middle strap is held on by hook-and-loop, so it can be moved along the brace before it is closed and the pressure put where it suits. Four sizes cover wrists from 10 to 15 cm around; above 15 cm, medi's adult Manumed takes over. Made as a left or a right.

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid splint. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order.

Size	I	II	III	IV
Wrist circumference (cm)around the wrist	10 – 11	11 – 13	13 – 14	14 – 15

Hand wash only, in lukewarm water (about 30°C/86°F) with a mild detergent
Close all hook-and-loop (velcro) fasteners, straps, and zippers before washing to protect the fabric
Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or harsh chemicals; do not dry clean
Remove and clean any removable pads or cushions separately with water or mild soap
Air dry fully -- do not tumble dry, use a hair dryer, or dry in direct sunlight
Apply skin creams or lotions after removing the support in the evening, not right before putting it on, since they can affect the material's properties

medi publishes these steps for putting the brace on, and asks that the first fitting is supervised by a healthcare professional.

If the splint needs shaping, take it out of the brace and bend it to the contour of the child's wrist.
Open all the straps and slide the hand into the brace, with the aluminium splint underneath, against the palm.
Close the front strap first, then the back strap.
Close the wide middle strap last; it is held on by hook-and-loop and can be moved along the underside of the brace before it is fastened.
