... apparently, the weight of one's arms and hands become concentrated on the median nerve while using a computer keyboard, even if you use a keyboard support pad. Purportedly, nerve tissue is the most pressure sensitive tissue in the body and by design Soft Flex™ Computer Gloves are touted to be clinically proven to affectively absorb and divert pressure away from the median nerve.
SoftFlex™ computer gloves address an ever-growing, modern injury: computer-associated Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a new form of traditional CTS. Developed by a surgeon, Dr. Eberbach
, with over a decade of experience surgically repairing hand and nerve injuries, Soft Flex™ Computer Gloves are designed to prevent the need for remedial Carpal Tunnel surgery.
Soft Flex™ Computer Gloves are extremely light-weight and comfortable. Indeed, pressure is taken off the butt, or carpal tunnel region, of one's palm and wrist, the two square inch area where the vulnerable median nerve resides. To achieve this, Soft Flex™ Computer Gloves, made from a light-weight nylon and lycra blend, consist of two parallel pads, one on either side of the carpal tunnel area, sewn within the sleeve, or half-glove design.
Soft Flex™ Computer Gloves are made in the U.S.A. and the quality of workmanship shows. There's no frayed edges or loose stitching, all seams and edges are very uniform and strong. It's obvious they are made to last.
No question about it, the gloves are very comfortable and after a few minutes you forget they're on. As I said, I don't have any hand or wrist pain and numbness associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, yet wearing the gloves noticeably pads and comforts the wrist and palms while using my computer keyboard and mouse. It only follows that one's wrist and palms are protected from possible computer associated carpal tunnel syndrome by the use of them.
