The Flamingo Elastic Wrist Splint is an orthopaedic wrist support designed to provide firm support and partial immobilisation of the wrist. It is intended for wrist sprains, strains and similar conditions where controlled movement and external support may be recommended.
The splint features a practical design with metal splints positioned in dedicated pockets. These splints can be interchanged, allowing the same support to be used on either the left or right hand. Adjustable hook-and-loop straps help secure the splint and allow the fit to be adjusted according to comfort and support requirements.
Available in multiple sizes, the Flamingo Elastic Wrist Splint combines elastic construction with structured support. It is suitable for individuals looking for a wrist splint or wrist brace that provides firmer support than a simple compression bandage.

No. The manufacturer describes the product as providing partial immobilisation while offering firm support.
3. Can the Flamingo Elastic Wrist Splint be used for a wrist sprain?
The product is intended for wrist sprains, strains and similar conditions. The suitability of any support depends on the severity of the injury and professional advice.

Yes. The design allows use on the left or right hand by interchanging the metal splints in their pockets.

6. Does the splint have adjustable straps?
Yes. It features adjustable hook-and-loop straps to help achieve a secure and personalised fit.
7. Can I wear this splint throughout the day?
The appropriate duration depends on your condition and the advice of your doctor or healthcare professional. Avoid prolonged use without appropriate guidance if you have an injury requiring medical treatment.
8. Is this suitable for a wrist fracture?
Do not self-select this splint for a suspected or confirmed fracture. Fractures require appropriate medical assessment and immobilisation based on the type and severity of the injury.

The splint should fit securely around the wrist without causing excessive pressure, numbness, tingling or restricted circulation. Follow the manufacturer's size chart and fitting instructions.
