What is Turtlebrace?
Turtlebrace offers braces for the wrist and fingers, elbow, and ankle. It is a mouldable brace that is heated up and then applied to the treated area, which is fastened with a zipper. Once it is positioned, it begins to harden as the brace cools. Once the brace hardens, it is good to go!
