Sidewinder™ Wrist and Forearm Support Uses Patent-Pending System to Deliver Universal Fit and Comfort
The Sidewinder™ Offers True Universal Fit, Superior Support and Affordable Cost to Health Care Providers and Workers’ Compensation Firms.
Defuniak Springs, FL, August 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A universal fit for wrist and forearm support became a reality today as Professional Products, Inc. (PPI), a leader and innovator in orthopaedic solutions for nearly five decades, announced the launch of The Sidewinder™. Part of the popular eZYWRAP® line (www.ezywrap.com), The Sidewinder is highly recommended for people suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains, soft tissue injuries and distal radial, ulnar or scaphoid fractures.
Physicians, physical therapists, nurses and workers’ compensation staff have long bemoaned the inability of so-called “universal size” orthopedic wrist and forearm supports to provide a stable and comfortable fit for all patient sizes. The Sidewinder’s patent-pending Radial and Ulnar Closure Systems, combined with their Ulnar Lacing Closure™ and EZY-Custom™ Closure Tabs, delivers the ideal fit in a universal wrist support. Moreover, our EZY-On™ stockinette feature enables application with just one hand, eliminating frustration and the need for additional assistance. The Sidewinder’s highly contoured design ensures optimum fit and excellent metacarpal phalangeal function for every size of forearm -- from the widest to the smallest. Removable Palmar Spoon and Double Dorsal Stay pockets ensure proper dorsal stay positioning and a superior level of custom fit.
“Patients constantly complain about ill-fitting and uncomfortable wrist and forearm supports,” said Dean Stanton, General Manager for Professional Products, Inc. “The Sidewinder provides the best combination of support, comfort and fit available to patients suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other orthopaedic injuries. The Sidewinder exemplifies our approach of combining innovative technology with listening closely to health care professionals to develop quality solutions for their patients.”
Importantly, The Sidewinder is designed to easily accommodate the FirstICE® continuous cold therapy system. The exclusive manufacturer and distributor to the medical community of this patented product, an average ice pack from the FirstICE® cold therapy system provides up to four hours of cold therapy to a patient, far more than the 20 minute average offered by competitors.
The Sidewinder is affordably priced at just $19.12 for consumers. For full details on The Sidewinder, including images and instructions for its application, or to place an order, please visit www.SidewinderWristSupport.com. Also available is the Sidewinder MPFlex™ version, for maximum metacarpal phalangeal joint flexibility of the thumb. It is available in 8” and 10.5” lengths and fits left or right wrist/forearm.
