Sizing and Fitting Across Upper Extremity Bracing
Upper extremity products are stocked across two sizing systems. Wrist, elbow and forearm supports are sized by limb circumference in small through extra-large runs, often with left, right and universal options. Finger and thumb splints are sized by digit length or circumference and by hand side. Slings and shoulder immobilizers are stocked in universal and multi-size formats. Each subcategory page lists the size runs and side options carried in that line.
Upper extremity bracing is a steady-turnover segment across orthopedic clinics, hand therapy, emergency departments and urgent care, where wrist splints, slings and elbow straps move in consistent volume year-round. Consolidating these lines through one wholesale account holds case pricing steady and keeps fitting rooms stocked across size and side runs. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a wrist splint and a wrist support?
A wrist splint contains a rigid stay - usually an aluminum or plastic palmar bar - that holds the wrist in a fixed position and limits motion, and is stocked for immobilization and night use. A wrist support is a softer elastic or neoprene sleeve that adds compression and warmth with limited motion restriction. Both formats are stocked across the wrist and hand line in a range of circumference sizes.
Which upper extremity products are stocked for shoulder immobilization?
Shoulder immobilization is covered by arm slings, shoulder immobilizer wraps that hold the arm against the torso, and abduction pillow slings that hold the shoulder in a set angle after rotator cuff or labral surgery. Clavicle straps and figure-of-eight braces are stocked for clavicle fracture support. These lines are grouped under the shoulder, arm and clavicle subcategory.
Are left, right and universal fits available in upper extremity bracing?
Yes. Wrist splints and thumb spica braces are stocked in left, right and universal hand configurations. Elbow and forearm supports are typically universal or sized by circumference. Slings and shoulder immobilizers are usually reversible or universal. The individual subcategory pages list the side and size options carried in each line.
Can hospitals and clinics order upper extremity braces and splints in bulk?
Yes. Upper extremity braces and splints are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, orthopedic and hand therapy clinics, long-term care facilities, emergency departments and urgent care centers, and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-velocity SKUs - cock-up wrist splints, universal arm slings, tennis elbow straps and thumb spica braces in standard size runs. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What upper extremity bracing products should be included in a facility formulary?
A working upper extremity bracing formulary typically carries a cock-up wrist splint line in graded circumference sizes, universal arm slings and a shoulder immobilizer, tennis and golfer elbow straps, thumb spica and finger stack splints, and a clavicle strap for fracture support. Facilities with hand therapy or orthopedic surgery volume add fracture braces and range-of-motion elbow braces.
