Is
a wrist donut heavy to wear?
No.
The average weight is only 23 grams - which could be one of
reasons why most people forget that they are wearing one.
(By comparison my wrist watch weighs 108 grams.)
Which size should I get?
My wrist measures 18 cms, which I see can be either the
medium or the large size.
We would recommend the medium.
This is because you need to slightly stretch your wrist
donut to get the snug, comfortable fit. As your wrist is
the minimum size for a large, when stretching to fit, the
top fastening would over-reach and extend beyond the underneath
fastening.
Why should the wrist donut be more comfortable than
a mouse mat or keyboard wrist rest?
There are three main reasons:
- The
ergonomics of the design. The wrist donut has been designed
to physically conform to the contour of the user’s
wrist and so is always where the user needs it to be to
cushion and level the wrist.
- The
wrist donut constantly cushions; supports and levels the
wrist, reducing flexion in the wrist joint. In addition,
by cushioning the lower carpal bones it forms a cushioning
‘bridge’ which helps to alleviate pressure
from area of the carpal tunnel, which is also extremely
comfortable.
- The
wrist donut gives you freedom of movement and the flexibility
to work in the most comfortable position you choose, as
opposed to having to conform to the position dictated
by the location of a wrist rest on the desk and work in
a fixed position.
What is a wrist donut filled with?
The cushioning is provided by Polyester Hollow Fibre conforming
to BS5852/2. It is soft yet resilient and if manipulated
with the fingers can be plumped up and even repositioned.
Where can you buy a wrist donut?
At present the wrist donut is only available direct from
us and one independent retailer, PC Plan-it, who has branches
in Holsworthy and Bideford.
Is the wrist donut washable?
Yes. The wrist donut is machine washable at 30oC
Delicate cycle. We recommend that you fasten it and put
it in a wash bag before it goes into the machine to protect
other items from being damaged by the Velcro. It can also
be sponge cleaned or hand washed with care.
