A wrist bandage is used to stabilize the wrist. A strip is sewn onto the dorsal side that is used as kind of a handle so that the assistants can lift the arm.

Users comments
The assistants can use the handle to lift the user’s arm, e.g., while dressing and during exercises to prevent contractures. It reduces the pressure on the wrist.
