Frequently Asked Questions

How does the IMAK Smart Glove help with carpal tunnel syndrome?

The IMAK Smart Glove provides mild compression across the wrist and palm, reducing fluid accumulation and inflammation in the carpal tunnel — the narrow channel through which the median nerve passes. The gentle compression also provides proprioceptive input that can reduce pain perception. The ergoBeads in the palm provide continuous light massage that helps stimulate circulation and reduce hand tension during keyboard and mouse use.

Can I wear the IMAK Smart Glove during computer work?

Yes — the open-finger design specifically allows full use of a keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen while wearing the glove. IMAK Smart Gloves are specifically marketed for people with wrist pain from repetitive computer use — the compression and acupressure are designed to reduce RSI discomfort during extended keyboard and mouse sessions.

Can I sleep in the IMAK Smart Glove?

Yes — the soft, breathable cotton-spandex construction is comfortable for overnight wear. Night-time splinting for carpal tunnel syndrome is clinically recommended to prevent the wrist flexion during sleep that worsens CTS symptoms. While the IMAK Smart Glove does not rigidly hold the wrist neutral (unlike a splint), its compression can reduce overnight swelling and pain.

How do I choose the right size IMAK Smart Glove?

Sizing is based on hand circumference measured around the knuckles (excluding thumb): X-Small: under 17cm, Small: 17–19cm, Medium: 19–21cm, Large: 21cm+. The glove should feel firmly supportive without being tight enough to restrict circulation or cause discomfort during prolonged wear.

Is the IMAK Smart Glove a substitute for medical carpal tunnel treatment?

No. The IMAK Smart Glove provides symptomatic relief and may reduce progression in mild CTS — but it is a conservative management tool, not a medical treatment. Moderate-to-severe CTS causing persistent night symptoms, significant grip weakness, or numbness affecting daily function should be assessed by a GP or hand surgeon. Carpal tunnel surgery has a high success rate and is appropriate when conservative measures are insufficient.
