Hand orthoses are wearable devices designed to support, stabilize, or correct hand function after injury, surgery, or conditions like arthritis or nerve damage. They can help prevent deformities, reduce pain, or assist in rehabilitation by providing external support to the hand or fingers.
These devices are typically reusable and come in prefabricated forms, meaning they are not custom-made for individual patients. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with oversight from health authorities to ensure safety and efficacy.
