3. Sizing Information

To ensure proper fit and effectiveness, measure the circumference around the smallest part of your wrist. Refer to the sizing chart below to select the appropriate size.

This chart provides guidance for selecting the correct wrist support size. It lists sizes (Medium, Large, X-Large, 2XLarge) and their corresponding wrist circumferences in both inches and centimeters.

4. Setup and Application

Follow these steps to correctly apply the Ergodyne ProFlex 4000 Single Strap Wrist Support:

1. Identify Hand: Ensure you are using the correct support for your left hand.
2. Position Support: Slide your hand into the support, ensuring the rigid stay is positioned along the palm side of your wrist and forearm. The open-center design of the stay should align with the natural curve of your wrist.
3. Secure Main Strap: Wrap the main elastic strap around your wrist and secure it using the hook & loop closure. Adjust for a snug, comfortable fit that provides support without restricting circulation.
4. Thumb Loop: The support includes a strap that goes between your thumb and index finger. This strap helps to keep the support in place and further limits downward wrist movement. Secure this strap as needed.
5. Final Adjustment: Use the two-stage hook & loop closure to fine-tune the compression and support. The goal is to limit wrist flexion while allowing necessary hand and finger mobility.

5. Operating Instructions (Usage)

The ProFlex 4000 wrist support is designed to provide continuous support during activities that may strain the wrist. Its primary function is to limit excessive downward (flexion) movement of the wrist, which can help reduce discomfort and provide stability.

• Wear the support during activities that involve repetitive wrist movements or when you require additional wrist stability.
• Adjust the straps as needed throughout the day to maintain a comfortable and effective level of compression.
• Ensure the support does not cause numbness, tingling, or excessive pressure. If these symptoms occur, loosen the straps or discontinue use and consult a medical professional.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your wrist support:

• Hand Wash: Hand wash in cold water with mild soap.
• Air Dry: Lay flat to air dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, iron, or dry clean.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the elastic materials.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

• Support feels too tight or causes discomfort: Loosen the hook & loop straps. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart in Section 3.
• Support feels too loose or ineffective: Tighten the hook & loop straps. If it still feels loose, you may need a smaller size. Refer to the sizing chart in Section 3.
• Skin irritation: Ensure the support is clean and dry before wearing. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a medical professional.
