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!

How Turtlebrace Works
Turtlebrace is designed for quick, effective immobilisation of joints and soft tissues. Here's how it works:
1. Heated and Moulded - Your orthotist will assess your walking pattern, foot alignment, and any areas of pain or pressure.
2. Zipper Fastening - Once correctly positioned, it is secured using an integrated zipper, making it easy to apply and remove.
3. Rapid Hardening - As the material cools, the brace hardens into a supportive, custom fit—providing immediate stability.
4. Ready to Use - No waiting for lab fabrication or external adjustments. Turtlebrace offers same-day application and function.
This fast and flexible process makes it ideal for post-operative care, fracture support, and short-term immobilisation.
