ABSTRACT:
An opposing force wrist brace is provided that immobilizes the wrist while permitting full use of the fingers and hand. The brace is preferably a two component brace with a top and bottom member positioned and held in place on the wrist by a suitable clamping means such as a hook and loop cinching strap. The top and bottom members are specially shaped and made of a suitable material such as injection molded or heat formed pliable thermoplastic. The top and bottom members are preferably transparent to allow observation of pressure points when the device is cinched in place.
