March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. More than 5.3 million Americans are living with brain injury-related disabilities at a cost exceeding $76.5 billion (in 2010 dollars) each year.

Making the most of your insurance

Introducing the new Glove feature on the Dynamic MCP
We enhanced the traditional finger wrap by creating a glove with individual sleeves for the fingers. By linking the fingers together, we create a consolidated lever, ultimately creating a more effective stretch.
