Mediven Manumed Active

Manumed Active

Manumed active is a wrist compression support. The product is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the wrist and only on intact skin or if any wounds have been properly covered.

Mode of action

Manumed active has a stabilising effect that prevents unhealthy movements of the wrist through the interaction of compressive knitted fabric, belt strap and individually adjustable splints. This relieves the muscles of the lower arm as well as tendons and tendon insertions in the affected area and reduces irritations. The compressive effect of the knitted fabric also restricts swelling.

In principle, the support can be worn for the whole day but should be taken off during longer periods of rest (e.g. sleep). But you should make this dependent on how you feel. In the event of unexpected, excessive changes, e.g. an intensification of the symptoms, please take the product off immediately and contact your doctor or supplying dealer.

The support is suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse out thoroughly.

Indications

• Painful attrition of the wrist (arthrosis)
• Irritations and inflammations in the wrist (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic, through overstrain, after operations, etc.)
• Wrist injuries, e.g. sprains
• Tendon inflammations
• Feelings of instability in the wrist

Contraindications

There are no known side effects if the correctly sized product is fitted as recommended. However, if supports (or similar aids) are too tight, this may lead to local pressure effects or the constriction of blood vessels or nerves in individual cases. You should thus consult your doctor in the following circumstances and before applying the support:

• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening).
• Paralgesia and circulatory disorders of the forearm or hand.
• Lymph outflow disorders as well as unclear swellings of soft tissues outside the area of use.

Any combination with other products (e.g. arm stockings) must be discussed beforehand with the attending doctor.

Care instructions

Velcro fasteners should be closed for washing. The splint must be removed before washing. We recommend using a laundry bag. Fabric softeners, fats, oils, lotions, ointments and soap residues can affect the material, hinder the Clima Comfort effect and cause skin irritations.

• Wash the product by hand, preferably using a medi clean detergent, or in delicate cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent without fabric conditioners.
• Do not bleach.
• Leave to dry naturally.
• Do not iron.
• Do not dry clean.
