AULEXMED BL-82011

Orthopaedic and hand surgery clinics can use the BL-82011 after wrist fracture surgery, where the surgeon's protocol moves patients into a removable brace, keeping the aluminium panel in for the firm phase and taking it out as rehabilitation starts. Hand therapy services can run the same brace through staged weaning, with each therapy visit a chance to review whether the panel stays. Workplace health and occupational therapy services can issue it to computer users with wrist pain as short-term support, alongside a workstation assessment and changes to breaks and tasks. Sports physiotherapy services can use it for wrist and thumb sprains once a fracture is excluded, with the panel in for the first days and out for a return to training.

Assessment and staging set the limits. Suspected fractures need imaging first, and De Quervain's tenosynovitis needs a splint that supports the thumb if the BL-82011 does not, so confirm thumb coverage with the manufacturer before using stock. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually calls for neutral night splinting, which the clinician checks at fitting. Patients with reduced sensation need closer checks. Every issue should record whether the panel is in or out, when the next step-down is planned and what the patient should do if the fingers change colour or go numb.

Health service buyers, from NHS trusts to public systems abroad, purchase through 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.

Support that steps down

The detachable aluminium panel lets the same brace move from firm immobilisation to lighter protection. Patients don't need to change braces as their recovery progresses, and they can switch at a routine review. It also suits services that want one item to cover several weeks of care.

Shaped aluminium strips

AULEXMED describes customised, specially shaped aluminium strips with an ergonomic design. They give the firm phase its rigidity and are meant to follow the curve of the forearm.

Three compression straps

The triple compression straps are described as giving wrist fixation. Tension can be spread evenly along the forearm and hand, and each strap can be eased on its own if one area swells.

A contour at the thumb web

The tiger mouth design shapes the brace around the web between thumb and index finger. AULEXMED says it prevents friction on the tendon sheaths, which matters for conditions affecting the tendons at the base of the thumb.

One adjustable size

A single adjustable size keeps ordering simple, with one product code to reorder, which also simplifies stock for satellite clinics. The straps then set the fit for each wearer.

Fingers left free

The fingers sit outside the brace in the photograph. Staff can quickly check colour and warmth, and finger exercises can continue.

Red trim for quick orientation

Red trim outlines the brace in the photograph. It makes the edges and openings easy to see when fitting and helps patients put the brace on the right way round.

No electrical parts

The brace has no batteries, cables or electronics, so no electrical safety testing applies, and WEEE does not cover it. Nothing needs servicing between uses, and care follows the label.

Records for buyers

AULEXMED lists ISO 13485:2016 certification for its factory and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team has shared copies related to BL-82011 for the procurement files.

Detachable aluminium panel

You can remove an aluminium panel from the brace. The specification describes the design as suitable for different scenarios, and the instructions for use show the removal method.

Customised aluminium strips

The strips are specially shaped, according to AULEXMED, following the manufacturer's ergonomic design. They sit within the panel.

Ergonomic design

The strips and brace are described as ergonomic. The fit is checked at the first appointment.

Triple compression straps

The photograph shows three straps closing the brace. The specification credits them with wrist fixation.

Strap loops

Each strap passes through a loop on the brace, as photographed. That lets tension be set strap by strap.

Tiger mouth contour

The brace is shaped around the thumb web. AULEXMED describes the design as ergonomic.

Tendon sheath protection

The contour is described as preventing friction on the tendon sheaths. Its effect depends on correct positioning, so the fitter checks that it sits in the web.

Red trim

Red edging outlines the brace in the photograph. It also frames the openings along the forearm.

Forearm openings

Red-edged openings sit along the forearm section in the photograph. They break up the brace's surface and serve as a point for documentation.

Black colourway

The brace is listed in black, so stock runs to one colour. The trim is red in the photograph.

One adjustable size

The size is listed as one size, adjustable, with fit coming from the three straps. Handedness and measurements are points for the manufacturer's documentation.

Forearm-to-hand coverage

In the photograph, the brace extends along the forearm and onto the hand. Thumb coverage is a question for the documentation.

Free fingers

The fingers stay outside the brace, as shown in the photograph. They can keep moving, and staff can see straight away if they change colour or turn cold.

Listed indications

De Quervain's tenosynovitis, periosteal injury, post-fracture surgery, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist and thumb sprains and strains, sports injuries and mouse hand appear on the sheet—the answers above set out where each one stands.

Arm and Shoulder Immobilisation Series

AULEXMED catalogues the BL-82011 under its Arm and Shoulder Immobilisation Series heading. The series name is the manufacturer's own.

Class I range

AULEXMED describes its products as Class I medical devices. The class for the BL-82011 is stated on its declaration of conformity.

The BL-82011 is a black wrist immobiliser with red trim, shaped aluminium strips in a detachable panel, three compression straps and a contour at the thumb web, in one adjustable size. It suits staged care: firm with the panel in and lighter with it out; after wrist surgery; for sprains once a fracture is excluded; and for carpal tunnel night splinting where the clinician confirms a neutral position. De Quervain's use depends on thumb coverage, and the page makes no claim that it prevents mouse hand. Confirm whether it supports the thumb, which hand it fits, and how the panel is removed and refitted before ordering. Medigear.uk lists the BL-82011 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for fitting staff.
