Stabilization of the wrist and forearm
Bauerfeind ManuLoc Long is a medical orthosis that stabilizes the wrist and parts of the forearm. According to the instructions for use, it is used for irritation after an injury or surgery - for example, after casting radius fractures - before surgery, for moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, moderate tenosynovitis with pain at rest and at night, sprains and contusions, and moderate osteoarthritis.
Three extra-long aluminum splints
The orthosis has three anatomically shaped, extra-long aluminum splints that make it virtually impossible to move the wrist. According to Bauerfeind, this relieves pain without restricting everyday activities: the fingers and thumb can move freely, so the hand's gripping function is affected only slightly.
According to Bauerfeind, the orthosis can be a more comfortable everyday alternative to a cast, and after cast treatment, increased stabilization with an orthosis is a suitable next step. Because it is easy to put on and take off, exercise can begin early.
Materials and comfort
Open gaps and air pores allow air to reach the skin. The large micro hook-and-loop fasteners allow the orthosis to be put on and taken off with one hand and prevent the straps from slipping out of their loops.
Material composition according to the manufacturer: polyamide (PA), aluminum (Al), polyurethane (PUR), polyether, polyoxymethylene (POM), and polyester (PES).
How to choose the size
ManuLoc Long is available in Titan and in four sizes selected according to the wrist circumference. According to the size guide, measurement A along the forearm must be at least 21 cm.
- Size 0: 12–15 cm
- Size 1: 14–18 cm
- Size 2: 17–21 cm
- Size 3: 20–26 cm

Use
According to the instructions for use, only qualified personnel may perform the initial fitting and provide instructions on use. The aluminum rods are preformed but can be individually adjusted.
Then proceed as follows: open the hook-and-loop fasteners on the forearm splint, place the orthosis on the hand so that the straps are positioned on the top of the forearm and on the back of the hand, and fasten the straps in order - forearm straps 1, 2, and 3, followed by the strap over the back of the hand.
Care
If possible, remove the hook-and-loop fasteners or fasten them securely. Hand-wash the orthosis at 30 °C with a mild detergent - all parts can remain attached - and leave it to air-dry. Do not tumble-dry or expose it to direct heat.
In the package
One (1) wrist orthosis in the selected size.
