Team UnLimbited Thermo-form Reverse Dovetail Features
Reverse dovetail to allow for a more natural forming of the gauntlet without distorting the tensioner block interface.
Dual strap mounts to eliminate the use of wide velcro and the associated comfort problem it creates.
Use either narrow velcro double sided tape or pre-made velcro straps to secure the gauntlet; both available on eBay etc.
Crescent Moon front wrist pressure release area to aid with comfort.
Suggested lining material is Dr Scholl moleskin plus padding roll, if the device is correctly sized and formed then there should be no need for additional foam padding.
As ever the recipient should wear a prosthetic sock with any e-NABLE device.
