Wrist orthoses are reusable, externally worn devices designed to stabilize, align, or protect the wrist joint. Clinically, they are used to support recovery from fractures, sprains, or arthritis, prevent deformities, or improve function after surgery or injury.
These devices are typically regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as prefabricated options rather than custom-made, though some may require professional fitting for optimal use.
