The concept
and design behind the Softwrist wrist rest is simple:
-
A wrist rest that conforms
and adjusts to fit the shape of your hand.
This design feature provides
for the least pressure on the nerves and blood veins on the underside of
your wrist by spreading the weight of your hand over the largest area
possible. Even though solid foam and gel wrist rests conform to a
certain degree, the dynamics of a non-flowing material do not allow for
an even distribution of pressure. The pressure is highest where the foam
or gel is compressed the greatest and can result in sore spots from the
pressure point.
-
A wrist rest that allows
your hand to seek a comfortable, neutral, natural position.
Solid foam and solid gel
wrist rests simply dont allow your hand to rest in a neutral
position. These materials are stable but they force your hand to lie
flat and can put more torsion on your wrist and additional stress on the
muscles that support your hand.
-
A wrist rest that allows
your hand to breathe and allow heat and moisture to escape.
Foam, solid gel, and liquid
gel wrist rests cant allow heat and moisture to escape.
-
A wrist rest that moves
with your hand to avoid abrasion of the underside of your
wrist.
Although foams and solid
gels appear to move with your hand, they are constantly trying to return
to their original shape. This results in the force being transmitted
back into your hand.
-
A wrist rest that is
covered with a durable high quality soft fleece fabric covering.
Most wrist rests use a knit
nylon fabric which abrades skin from your hand. The particles and flakes
of skin provide a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause skin
rashes.
-
A wrist rest that is
stable.
Liquid gels are inherently
unstable and tend to force you to tense up and cause your wrist and arm
to become sore from trying to keep your hand stable. Solid foam and gel
wrist rests are stable but they force your hand to lie flat and can put
more torsion on your wrist and additional stress on the muscles that
support your hand.
