Wrist Relief Pad

 

1. What is the difference between the Red Light and the Near-Infrared Light?

 

A: The device uses a combination of light wavelengths. Red Light (visible) primarily works on surface healing and inflammation. Near-Infrared Light (invisible) penetrates deeper into the tendons, muscles, and nerve sheath, offering superior relief for chronic issues like Carpal Tunnel or RSI.

 

2. Is this product truly portable, and how is it powered on the go?

 

A: Yes, the Wrist Rest is highly portable due to its compact design. It is typically powered via a standard USB-A cable and can be run off any laptop, desktop computer, or a basic USB wall adapter/power bank, making it ideal for travel.

 

3. Does the shape of the rest match all hand sizes and mouse types?

 

A: The rest features a universal ergonomic design crafted to support the heel of the hand and wrist in a neutral position, which is recommended by specialists. Its smooth, low-friction surface allows for easy gliding, accommodating most standard mice and hand sizes.

 

4.  How should I position my hand/wrist on the pad?

 

A: Place the wrist rest so that it supports the heel of your hand and lower forearm, allowing your hand to “float” over the mouse. The wrist itself should remain straight (neutral) to minimize pressure on the carpal tunnel, while the red light targets the painful area.

 

5. Will the light be too bright or distracting in a dark office?

 

A: The therapeutic light is intense, but the device is positioned below your line of sight. While Near-Infrared is invisible, the Red Light is visible. Many users find the focused light a motivating visual reminder of their therapy session.

 

6. How do I clean and maintain the surface of the wrist rest?

 

A: Maintenance is simple. Power down the device and unplug it, then gently wipe the plastic surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the unit in water.

 

7. Is this device safe to use for eight hours a day?

 

A: Although the device is safe for frequent use, we advise sticking to the recommended 10-15 minute therapeutic sessions throughout the day. Using any wrist rest for 8 hours without breaks is generally discouraged by ergonomic experts.

 

8. Can I use the therapy pad through a mouse mat or clothing?

 

A: No, you should not. For the light energy to penetrate deeply and effectively, the surface of the pad must be in direct contact with your bare skin. Thick material like a mouse mat or clothing will block the therapeutic effect.

 

9. Should I consult a doctor or physiotherapist before using this device?

 

A: While Red Light Therapy is safe for most people, we always recommend consulting your doctor or physiotherapist before starting any new treatment. This is especially important if you have a pre-existing condition like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, are pregnant, or are taking medications that increase photosensitivity.

10. What certifications does this product have for the EU market?

 

A: This product is certified for the European Market. It carries the official CE Mark and complies with the EU Low Voltage Directive (LVD), which confirms it meets the stringent health, safety, and environmental standards required for sale in the Netherlands.
