What's Included In My Purchase?
Our Pick For a Flexor Tendon Injury
For a flexor tendon injury, your treatment will depend on the extent of your injury and the recommendation of your healthcare provider. However, the Thuasne Ligaflex can successfully fulfil the less intensive aspects of your treatment as it offers unparalleled support and compression, is able to accommodate any swelling and has antibacterial properties which prevent infection.
What Is a Flexor Tendon Injury?
Your flexor tendons run from your forearm to your palm and allow your fingers to bend. These tendons can be damaged by a deep cut and are often injured during sports where a lot of arm or hand strength is required, such as wrestling or rock climbing.
Sizing of the Thuasne Ligaflex Support
Thuasne's Classic Open Wrist Brace comes in two sizes so you can find the right fit. With its adjustable design, the support can open fully to accommodate swelling. To find out which size will fit you best, measure the circumference of your wrist and use the table below to find the correct size.
| Size | Wrist Circumference (cm) |
| Small | 13 - 17cm |
| Medium | 17 - 23cm |
Fits the Left or Right Wrist
The Classic Open Support can fit both the left and right hand. This means it can be re-used to support a vulnerable wrist or treat other flexor tendon injuries, even if it's your other hand that's affected.
Can I Have an X-Ray While Wearing This Support?
Thuasne's Classic Open Brace has been designed to be both comfortable and x-ray friendly. Its stay in the palm region is also radio translucent so you can remain supported and comfortable even when you're getting a check-up.
How Comfortable Is This Support?
The Thuasne Ligaflex is manufactured with 3-D knit technology which eliminates seams for the ultimate fit. Without any chunky threads, the material shapes seamlessly over the contours of your wrist and arm for supreme comfort and compression.
Accommodates Swelling
A condition like a flexor tendon injury can cause swelling that may come and go as it heals. The Thuasne Ligaflex can be opened completely, making it incredibly easy to apply and adjust to accommodate symptoms like swelling, or oedema.
Will This Support Make My Wrist Sweat?
Made of moisture-wicking fabric, this support will dissipate sweat before it can cause any unpleasant effects, including odour. This can also help to prevent any friction blisters caused by a build-up of moisture, so you can enjoy absolute comfort no matter how long your recovery period.
Antibacterial Properties
When you're already dealing with a long-term injury, the risk of complications can become a persistant concern. Thanks to the antibacterial properties of the Thuasne Ligaflex Classic Open Wrist Support, you can rest easy knowing your injury will be sufficiently protected from infection, so you'll be able to recover as quickly as possible.
