FAQ's

What is EXOS Bracing?

Exos is a revolutionary, thermoformable technology, offering an adjustable and re-formable solution for the wrist. The Exos advanced technology allows you to mold the brace for the best possible fit for maximum comfort and stabilization. The thermoformable material is light-weight, waterproof and can be easily cleaned.

What is the Exos Short Arm Brace with BOA?

The BOA reel and lace closure system offers adjustability over the whole of the brace at the same time. When twisting the BOA reel the lacing will evenly tighten and tension to create a custom fit to your wrist shape. This also allows expansion for initial swelling to reduce the risk of compartment swelling when other bracing or casts can cause restriction. The brace can be fully removed (or not with the BOA locking system) to allow for daily wearing, examination of the joint or initiation of rehabilitation and exercises.

When do I need an Exos Short Arm Brace with BOA?

The Exos short arm Brace can be used primarily for non-displaced fractures to the distal radius or distal ulna, and for minor injuries as well as for post-operative support as well as cartilage tears in the wrist, radio-carpal ligament injuries, wrist sprains or strains where restriction of movement is required in arthritis, carpal tunnel and repetitive strain injury (RSI).

When can I wear my Exos Short Arm Brace with BOA?

Its waterproof so can be worn in the shower or bath, can be used in the swimming pool or can be used on active people (or children) for everyday activities but be hand washed when needed. The material is antimicrobial treated to reduce odor and it can be dried with a hairdryer or stood on a radiator to dry out completely afterwards.
