Claims11
A gloved wrist guard configured to protect a radiocarpal joint and a hand having metacarpals and phalanges, the gloved wrist guard comprising:
- a cuff portion extending from a proximal end to a distal end and configured to cover the radiocarpal joint of a glove wearer;
- a glove having a metacarpal portion extending from the distal end of the cuff portion and a plurality of digit portions extending from the metacarpal portion, wherein the metacarpal portion is configured to cover the metacarpals of the glove wearer and the digit portions are configured to at least partially cover the phalanges of the glove wearer;
- and
- a viscoelastic pad extending over the cuff portion and the metacarpal portion of the glove, wherein the viscoelastic pad includes a viscoelastic ulnar strip extending distally in the direction of the metacarpals from the radiocarpal joint, wherein the viscoelastic ulnar strip is secured to a dorsal side of the cuff and metacarpal portions of the glove and wraps around an ulnar side of the glove for providing flexible impact protection thereto.
