The Functions Of A Freehand Brace

By Eliza Mendoza


Freehand Brace is basically some fabric that is worn at various parts of the hand. They could be loose or tight depending on the type. Their existence invention dates back early in history when farmers wore them to avoid blisters on their hands as they carried out their daily activities. The earlier models were only loose and had been improvised. They were generally some small rags that could be worn on the specific parts of the hand. With the current technology, they have been improved.

Most of these hands in fits are made f rubber . However advances have been made and cotton has been included in their manufacture. The process of their manufacture is quite elementary . It does not necessarily require a pool of skilled laborers. The machinery used is however specialized. Activities such as cutting and fixation require specific machines.

The exercise of manufacturing is done in a step wise manner. The fabric to be used is first assembled. Most times, it is purchased from fabric making companies. This is cheaper as compared from buying from retail or wholesale traders. For the case of cotton it is purchased from cotton gins. The textile to be used is analyzed and confirmed to be authentic and of good quality.

After all this, the rubber is sliced into smaller sizes. The sizes depend on where the in fit will be worn. The smallest in fit are those that are purposed to be worn around the fingers. The slicing is done by machines that run on specified programs. The fixation part follows after this. The two edges of the chopped rubber are stuck using some glue. Slight melting is then done on the stuck places.

Dyes are then added to the rubber to achieve certain colors such as black. They are then packaged according to the sizes and are now said to be ready for the markets. Most the hand fits are sold domestically and not internationally. This is because the production process is quite simple and most countries can undertake in the activity.

Theses in fits have merits. They help to treat bone abnormalities. Individuals who have mallet fingers are advised to put them on. They help in bone remodeling and hence straighten curved fingers. They are comfortable for activities such as writing. Secretaries whose job is writing many drafts require them. They help reduce the friction.

A musician may therefore require many pieces. They are quite restrictive especially for people who have are not used to them. Rigid in fits could alter the performance of a certain activity for example writing.
