In which everyday situations is it appropriate to wear such a support, and when is it better to take it off? — Wrist brace by Stolz GmbH

According to the card, hand supports are medical devices intended to protect, support and rehabilitate the hand; they help reduce the risk of injury and speed up the healing process by providing support and stability (manufacturer's claim). The card does not name specific everyday situations. The support must be removed and a doctor consulted in case of skin irritation or redness; in addition, the card advises taking regular breaks for ventilation and skin hygiene.

General information (not a manufacturer's instruction): in case of acute pain, injury or swelling of the hand, a doctor's consultation is needed first; the support is not a substitute for diagnosis and treatment.
