ABSTRACT:
A flexible splint for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome includes an elongated, flexible member having a palmar portion and an elongated proximal portion. The palmar portion has a curved sickle or hook shape and defines a thumb notch. The palmar portion is angled with respect to the proximal portion to position the hand in a cocked up or near normal anatomical position. The flexible member is configured to avoid contact with the volar surface of the wrist which overlies the carpal tunnel. Elastic straps, including hook and loop fasteners, attach the splint to the wrist and palm of the user.
