The Role Of A Freehand Brace

By Eliza Mendoza


Freehand Brace is basically some fabric that is worn at various parts of the hand. They could be loose or tight depending on the type. Their existence invention dates back early in history when farmers wore them to avoid blisters on their hands as they carried out their daily activities. The earlier models were only loose and had been improvised. They were generally some small rags that could be worn on the specific parts of the hand. With the current technology, they have been improved.

These pieces of rubber come in different sizes. The piece that is worn around the elbow is not the same as that which is worn around the thumb. People have different arm sizes and hence this is put to consideration. They also come in an array of colors but most people like the ones that are dull in color.

A number of companies have specialized in their production. Their high demand has led to this. They are made through a simple process. The material that is to be used is first acquired . It could be bought from producing industries. A good example of a material that is used t make them is rubber. Rubber is in two major forms. There is the hard and inelastic rubber and the softer and elastic rubber. The hard rubber is used to make shoes and sandals. It is the soft rubber that is used to make these arms fits.

The rubber is then cut into smaller pieces . The pieces will be determined by where they are expected to be fitted into. The cutting is done specialized machines. Thereafter, the rubber is then wound to form a circular shape. These in fits are normally circular in shape. The two free ends of the wound rubber are stuck with glue to ensure that they are closely adherent. The glued part is then melted together to ensure the stuck edges become a common unit.

Dyes are then added to the rubber to achieve certain colors such as black. They are then packaged according to the sizes and are now said to be ready for the markets. Most the hand fits are sold domestically and not internationally. This is because the production process is quite simple and most countries can undertake in the activity.

The in fits are then colored. The coloring is done by use of dyes. The amount of dye used is also regulated. The colors that are mostly preferred are dull colors such as grey, brown and black. Thereafter, they are packed. These are then sold to middlemen or retailers. These in fits have several advantages. They are comfortable and simple to put them in. They are adjustable and accommodate small to large sizes. The fact that the commodities are elastic ensures they can customize a fit in the scenario of a smaller or bigger finger or wrist.

They have disadvantages. Hand in fits may lead to infections. Since they are rubber, they are hard to clean. Dust may therefore accumulate around them. If an individual has a cut on a finger and has the finger in fit in it, there are chances of an infection to the cut finger.
