About the product1.
Intended use1.1
Carbonhand improves the grip of persons who have a weak or unsteady
grip. The condition may be due to orthopedic or neurological problems,
from birth or acquired. Carbonhand mimics the user's grip movements
and gives your hand additional grip force. It is designed to make life
easier at work, at home and in everyday life. It is available in several
sizes and in both right hand and left hand versions.
