A repetitive strain injury (RSI) is an injury to part of the musculoskeletal or nervous system caused by repetitive or continual use, vibrations, compression or long periods in a fixed position. Other common names include repetitive stress disorders, cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), and overuse syndrome which can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tendonitis.
Prevention is critical to long term hand health and productivity as persistence can cause permanent changes that are increasingly painful and irreversible over time.
Impacto®cutting-edge industrial wrist supports and therapeutic technologies are designed to offset musculoskeletal injuries by reducing overextension and over flexion of the wrist without limiting mobility.
Wrist Supports or wrist splintsare for people who need protection and support for painful, swollen or weak joints and can relieve symptoms of conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis, Wrist Tendonitis, fractures, sprains and strains. The purpose of a wrist wrap is to provide support to the wrist joint during heavy or max effort lifts in pressing movements and overhead lifts preventing the wrist from being pulled into excessive extension under load resulting in compromised mechanics, possible injury and failed lifts.
Also available arefingerless industrial work gloves that feature wrist supportsdesigned to minimize extension and over flexion of the wrist to prevent RSI such as Carpal Tunnel or Tendinitis. VEP padded palms protect from impact, vibration and shock. These styles are ideal protection from electric, manual and power tools in applications including construction, assembly, manufacturing, maintenance and warehousing.
Prevention is critical to the well being of your staff so don’t wait until the symptoms appear. If you haven’t already tried these specialized industrial safety products, what are you waiting for?
