medi CTS
Intended Purpose
medi CTS is a wrist brace with finger
fixation for immobilisation.
Indications
All indications requiring immobilization
of the wrist with finger fixation, such as:
• Carpal tunnel syndrome (nonsurgical,
postoperative)
• Tendonitis, tenosynovitis
• Wrist arthrosis
• Distortions of the wrist, metacarpals
and fingers
Contraindications
Unstable fractures of the hand
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Applying the support

anatomically preformed. If necessary,
you can adapt the support to the shape
of the patient's hand. If possible, make
sure that there are no gaps between
the support and the arm or hand.
The fingers should be supported in a
relaxed neutral position (fig. 1)
• Now bend up the side flaps along the
forearm, the wrist and the fingertips.
(fig. 2)
• Finally fasten the four straps (fig. 3)
