The Carpal Solution has been designed for proactive discriminating healthcare consumers. It is constructed of carefully selected hypoallergenic materials and is manufactured in an FDA Drug & Device registered facility. The Carpal Solution is manufactured in compliance with FDA standards for medical device manufacturing with quality systems that are ISO9002:1994 and 13488:1996 certified. The materials of construction are as follows:
The elastic soft foam core center component has been specially engineered from a confidential combination of medical grade closed-cell polyvinyl chloride foam and polyurethane adhesive film to achieve the optimum balance of comfort, elastic tension, structural strength, ergonomics, hypoallergenicity and cost performance.
Medical grade ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) adhesive wrist-straps and thumb strap are attached to the elastic soft foam core center through a unique process designed to achieve the appropriate strength and ergonomic comfort.
The ethylene vinyl acetate straps are carefully perforated, to serve several important functions. First to allow the Carpal Solution to be easily custom fit to each user’s unique hand size and shape with minimal effort and no extra equipment. It is a key part of the easy three-step self application that makes the Carpal Solution readily usable by millions as a reliable self-treatment device to eliminate the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The perforation also enhances breath-ability of the polyethylene straps for user comfort during the 6 to 8 hours of sleep. The tear-away straps also limit the amount of tension that can be applied with a built in burst-strength safety feature.
All straps are supplied with a paper liner on the underside to protect the hypoallergenic adhesive backing until it is ready to be self-applied.
The Carpal Solution packaging is done according to FDA Class 1 standards.
