'''Wrist splints are most commonly prefabricated with thermoplastics, cushion liners, and velcro and may contain metal or plastic stays. They vary in length and may or may not incorporate a thumb spica. Generally, the wrist should be set in at least 20˚ of extension to prevent potential flexion contractures caused by prolonged use.
