Abstract
A hand support for controlling scar tissue including a planar member comprised of a flexible material. The planar member has a plurality of digit apertures therethrough. The planar member is dimensioned to be worn on a hand of a user.
Claims5
A hand support for controlling scar tissue for applying pressure to an individual's hand to preclude excessive scar tissue buildup during healing comprising, in combination:
- a planar member comprised of a flexible material having a generally J-shaped main portion, the main portion having an elongated upper portion and a generally arcuate lower portion, the elongated upper portion having four spaced apart digit apertures therethrough, the lower portion having a single digit aperture therethrough, the single digit aperture of the lower portion having a diameter greater than a diameter of the four digit apertures of the elongated upper portion, the planar member being dimensioned to be worn on a hand of a user;
- three generally T-shaped members each having lower ends integral with a first edge of the elongated upper portion of the planar member;
- three arcuate members each having lower ends integral with a second edge of the elongated upper portion of the planar member.
A hand support for controlling scar tissue comprising:
- a planar member comprised of a flexible material, the planar member having a plurality of digit apertures therethrough, the planar member being dimensioned to be worn on a hand of a user;
- a plurality of generally T-shaped members each having lower ends integral with a first edge of the planar member.
A hand support for controlling scar tissue comprising:
- a planar member comprised of a flexible material, the planar member having a plurality of digit apertures therethrough, the planar member being dimensioned to be worn on a hand of a user, the planar member having a pair of arcuate members each having lower ends integral with opposing edges thereof.
