People have been working at their desks for a long time to get things done. However, we’re now more aware of the consequences of sitting in one spot for too long. Working while hunched over desks or doing repetitive movements with your hands like typing on computers can prove unforgiving for our joints.
There are solutions that can help with those difficulties. Products like vertical mice can help relieve our carpal tunnel. However, items like wrist rests may sometimes be more damaging than helping. Deltahub tries to address that problem with its ergonomic wrist rest, Carpio 2.0.
Rethinking the traditional wrist rest
Carpio 2.0 was based on its predecessor, Carpio 1.0, which was created with the help of 3D and MRI scans of hands. The company also claims that the product was developed with the help of medical experts. Additionally, the building team took feedback from more than 20,000 users of Carpio 1.0. From there, they’ve improved the product to fit most hands and provide as much comfort as possible.
From the get-go, Carpio 2.0 looks different from other wrist rests. It isn’t bulky and it’s made to fit under your wrist so it can move as your wrist moves. Therefore, it prevents wrist deviation which is often a result of using a traditional wrist rest. Its unique shape allows you to reinforce pressure from the wrist to the lower palm. As a result, it frees the underside of your wrist and allows your blood to move freely. The shape creates a space where your wrist can naturally rest and stay unbent as you are typing. Consequently, that also means that it can help with carpal tunnel since it improves the positioning of your wrist.
Whether you are coding or just typing all day, Carpio 2.0 might prove a small yet mighty improvement in your life. If you’re looking to try it out, the wrist rest is available for 34,90€.
