Wrist immobilizers are rigid external supports designed to restrict wrist movement for temporary therapy, commonly used after non-displaced fractures, strains, or sprains. They also help prevent injury during procedures like radial catheterization by keeping the wrist stable during use.
These devices are typically single-use, disposable supports that come in various sizes and may include fasteners like Velcro to secure the wrap. They are regulated as medical devices but are not classified by a single regulatory tier—each product’s compliance depends on its design and intended use.
