A finger and hand brace, the combination comprising a longitudinally elongated brace body, adapted to be applied lengthwise to the wrist and finger region of the hand; multiple flexible flaps carried by the body to be spaced lengthwise thereof and to extend from the body; separate flaps configured to be wrapped about at least two of the following: hand, wrist, a finger or fingers; and retention means on the brace to retain the flaps in wrapped condition; and two generally longitudinally elongated stiffeners carried by the body, the stiffeners having undulating extent or extents with convex concave curvatures, to readily conform to wrist and finger contour with the fingers extended in natural condition.

Hand brace

A finger and hand brace, the combination comprising a longitudinally elongated brace body, adapted to be applied lengthwise to the wrist and finger region of the hand; multiple flexible flaps carried by the body to be spaced lengthwise thereof and to extend from the body; separate flaps configured to be wrapped about at least two of the following: hand, wrist, a finger or fingers; and retention means on the brace to retain the flaps in wrapped condition; and two generally longitudinally elongated stiffeners carried by the body, the stiffeners having undulating extent or extents, to readily conform to wrist and finger contour with the fingers extended in natural condition.

The present invention is a finger and hand brace having a longitudinally elongated body adapted to be applied lengthwise to the wrist and finger region of the hand. The brace body has multiple flaps spaced lengthwise along the body that are configured to be wrapped about at least two of the following: hand, wrist, a finger, or fingers. The flaps have a retention device, such as a hook and loop fastener, to retain the flaps in a wrapped condition. The body carries two generally longitudinally elongated stiffeners having undulating extents to readily conform to wrist and finger contour with the fingers extended in a natural condition.

A finger and hand brace, the combination comprising a longitudinally elongated brace body, adapted to be applied lengthwise to the wrist and finger region of the hand; multiple flexible flaps carried by the body to be spaced lengthwise thereof and to extend from the body; separate flaps configured to be wrapped about at least two of the following: hand, wrist, a finger or fingers; and retention means on the brace to retain the flaps in wrapped condition. Elongated, adjustably bendable inserts may be employed to extend in spaced relation in the body, and a thumb hole may be provided in the body, between the inserts.
