AULEXMED BL-82010

Hand therapy services can use the BL-82010 for De Quervain's tenosynovitis and thumb-base conditions once the manufacturer confirms that it encloses the thumb, and for wrist strains where a fine-adjustable immobiliser suits the patient. Musculoskeletal injection clinics can pair it with corticosteroid injection for De Quervain's on the same condition, following the 2023 evidence for combined care. Both uses depend on the manufacturer's answer for the thumb. Sports medicine and physiotherapy clinics can issue it for wrist sprains, strains and ligament injuries in active patients, using the dial to change tension between activity and rest. Occupational health services can issue it for wrist strain linked to repetitive tasks, as a short-term measure alongside a review of the work itself.

Assessment comes first. Suspected fractures, including scaphoid injuries, need imaging, and unstable ligament tears need specialist review before a prefabricated brace is used. The dial makes it easy to overtighten, so every issue should include checking finger colour, warmth, and sensation, and advice on releasing the tension. Wear plans should name a review date and the point at which the brace is reduced. Patients with diabetes or reduced sensation need particular care, because they may not feel a brace that is too tight. The first fitting should end with the patient releasing and re-tightening the dial themselves.

Procurement teams in NHS trusts, and their equivalents in other health systems, use procurement routes that ask for a device's conformity status and registration. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

Fine adjustment by dial

A dial tension system draws the lacing in small steps. It gives an even fit with no straps to re-thread, and lets the wearer loosen the brace slightly during a long day.

Rest and activity in one brace

AULEXMED describes the design as supporting both rest and activity. The same brace can stay on for light tasks and quiet periods, so the patient need not swap braces.

A pre-contoured splint

The splint is shaped to the wrist curve and described as stabilising the joint. It holds its form from the first fitting, which can shorten the first appointment, and keeps its shape through repeated adjustment.

Ergonomic fit

The design is described as fitting wrist anatomy. The dial then fine-tunes the hold for each wearer, helping the splint sit flush against the forearm. Its contour follows the back of the hand and forearm in the photograph.

Quick release for checks

The instructions for use show how to release the dial. Fast release helps when the hand swells or the skin needs checking, and lets carers check circulation with no full refit.

Suited to active patients

Sports medicine and physiotherapy clinics can adjust tension between activity and rest. That matches the brace to the patient's day and supports a gradual return to normal tasks.

One size to stock

A single size keeps ordering simple, with one product code on the shelf, pending the manufacturer's answers on handedness and measurements. Fit is then set by the dial.

No electrical parts

The dial is a mechanical closure, with no batteries or electronics, so no electrical safety testing applies, and WEEE does not cover it. Nothing needs servicing between uses, and upkeep follows the care label.

Records for buyers

AULEXMED's stated records cover ISO 13485:2016 certification for its site and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team shared copies related to the BL-82010 for procurement files.

Dial tension system

A rotary dial on the side of the brace sets the tension. The specification describes it as providing a precise, stable fit.

Lacing

Lacing runs across the top of the brace in the photograph. The dial tightens it, and its path is meant to keep pressure even across the back of the wrist.

Pre-contoured splint

The splint is shaped before fitting. AULEXMED says it fits the wrist curve, and whether it can be reshaped is a point to document.

Wrist stabilisation

The splint is described as stabilising the wrist joint. Its position is checked at fitting, and it limits wrist movement while the dial holds the fit.

Ergonomic design

The design is described as fitting wrist anatomy. It is meant for both rest and activity.

Forearm-to-hand coverage

The brace runs from the forearm onto the hand in the photograph. Thumb coverage is a key point to document.

Orange stitching

Orange stitching edges the brace in the photograph. It traces the splint's outline and makes the brace easy to identify in a store.

Black colourway

The brace is listed in black. Stock runs to a single colour.

One size

A single size is listed, with fit coming from the dial. Handedness and measurements are points for the manufacturer's documentation.

Dial release

The dial can be released to loosen the brace. The instructions for use show the method, and patients practise it before leaving the clinic.

Rest and activity use

AULEXMED describes the brace as supporting rest and activity, and tension can differ between the two. Sport follows the clinician's advice.

Listed indications

The sheet lists De Quervain's tenosynovitis, wrist and thumb joint injuries, thumb abduction deformity, wrist sprain, strain or ligament tear, and sports-related immobilisation and prevention. The answers above set out where each stands.

Hand, Wrist & Shoulder Support Series

This brace sits under the Hand, Wrist & Shoulder Support Series heading in AULEXMED's catalogue. The series name covers the maker's hand, wrist and shoulder supports.

Manufacturer wearing advice

AULEXMED recommends opening the closure fully, placing the brace, tightening evenly, and stopping if it becomes uncomfortable. The dial makes even tightening simpler.

Mechanical closure

The dial and lacing work without power, so it doesn't need charging. Keep moisture and heat away from the dial.

Class I range

AULEXMED describes its products as Class I medical devices. The BL-82010's class is stated in its declaration of conformity.

The BL-82010 is a black one-size wrist immobiliser with a pre-contoured splint and a dial tension system that adjusts in small steps, designed for both rest and activity. It suits wrist sprains, strains and ligament injuries after assessment, and De Quervain's tenosynovitis or thumb conditions only if it encloses the thumb, ideally alongside injection where the clinician advises. The dial makes over-tightening easy, so check finger colour, warmth, and sensation at every fitting and after every adjustment the patient makes at home. Before you order, please confirm whether it encloses the thumb, which hand it fits, and the measurements it suits. Medigear.uk lists the BL-82010 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for fitting staff. The enquiry team can supply copies of the declaration of conformity and instructions for use.
