Volar Wrist BOA Brace combines anatomical stabilization with the world-renowned BOA® Fit System, offering a micro-adjustable, secure fit that traditional fasteners cannot match. Designed for patients who require rigid palmar support with effortless, one-handed operation.

Indications: Clinical Applications

This Volar Wrist BOA Brace orthosis is specifically engineered to stabilize the volar (palmar) aspect of the wrist, making it the primary choice for:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS): Maintains the wrist in a neutral position to minimize median nerve compression.

• Post-Operative Recovery: Ideal for stabilization following carpal tunnel release or volar ligament repair.

• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Limits flexion to reduce mechanical stress on the flexor tendons.

• Acute Wrist Sprains: Provides external support to the radiocarpal joint during the inflammatory phase of healing.

• Tenosynovitis: Restricts micro-movements of the tendons to allow the synovial sheath to recover.

Technical Features of Volar Wrist BOA Brace

BOA® Fit System Integration

The integrated BOA® dial and lace system replaces traditional strapping for a superior fit:

• Micro-Adjustability: Dial in millimetric tension for uniform, circumferential compression without creating localized pressure points.

• Quick-Release Mechanism: Simply pull the dial to trigger the instant-release system for easy removal.

Anatomical Volar Support

• Pre-Contoured Palmar Stay: A rigid, removable metal stay follows the natural anatomy of the wrist, providing a structural block against palmar flexion.

• Functional Clearance: The distal edge is contoured to sit below the distal palmar crease, allowing full range of motion for the fingers and thumb.

Precision Sizing & Length Options

To ensure exact alignment and therapeutic coverage, this device is available in specific configurations:

• Lateral Orientation: Dedicated Left and Right models.

• Size Range: Available in Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L).

• Length Profiles: * 7-Inch Length: Low-profile design for standard stabilization.

  • 9-Inch Length: Extended proximal coverage for enhanced leverage.

Clinical Benefits by Length

Choosing the correct length is essential for matching the brace to the patient’s specific clinical needs:

7-Inch Support: Standard Stabilization

• Increased Mobility: Ideal for patients transitioning back to daily activities who require support without excessive forearm bulk.

• Focused Compression: Targets the radiocarpal joint directly, perfect for localized inflammation and mild RSI.

• Improved Comfort: Higher patient compliance in warmer climates or for those with shorter forearms.

9-Inch Support: Extended Lever Arm

• Enhanced Immobilization: The extended length creates a longer lever arm, significantly reducing the force required to keep the wrist in a neutral position.

• Forearm Stability: Provides additional support to the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and helps dampen muscular vibrations in the forearm flexors.

• Post-Surgical Security: Recommended for post-operative cases where maximum restriction of the proximal wrist area is necessary to protect healing hardware or tissue.

Therapeutic Advantages of Volar Wrist BOA Brace

• Optimized Patient Compliance: The ease of the “push-turn-pull” BOA® mechanism makes it accessible for patients with limited hand strength or arthritis.

• Edema Management: Micro-adjustability allows the patient to loosen the brace if post-traumatic edema increases, preventing circulatory constriction.

• Breathable Architecture: Constructed from medical-grade, moisture-wicking textiles to prevent skin maceration during long-term wear.

Clinical Instruction: Ensure the volar stay is aligned with the midline of the palm. For the 9-inch model, the proximal end should sit comfortably on the mid-forearm without impeding elbow flexion.
