Steps to Fit a Wrist Support

According to the Neo G Wrist Support // How to Apply Guide - YouTube, here’s how you properly fit a wrist support:

  1. Preparation: Hold the wrist support in your right hand if you intend to apply it to your left hand (and vice versa).
  2. Thumb Placement: Locate the thumb opening on the support.
  3. Slide the Thumb: Slip your left thumb through the opening. Make sure the tag is facing inwards (towards your body).
  4. Wrap the Strap: Once your thumb is in place, wrap the strap securely around your wrist.

Key Considerations

  • Comfort: Ensure the support is snug but not too tight to avoid restricting circulation.
  • Tag Position: Always make sure the tag is on the inside, towards the skin. This avoids irritation and ensures correct positioning.
  • Orientation: The support is designed to be applied in a specific orientation, so make sure you apply it to the correct hand.
