PLA wrist brace, printed flat in open shape, next bended on the wrist of the patient after heating in hot water.
EDIT: thanks to all for comments, we're really happy of the success of this thing and we hope it could be useful to someone.
We are not doctors (just designers) so we recommend to test any design with your physiotherapist, and to adapt the design to your needs and your size.
The idea of forming PLA in hot water came from Andreas Bastian (http://www.thingiverse.com/AndreasBastian/overview), we just saw his wonderful blog and tought it could be applied to any medical prosthesis, so we made some tests on wrist braces.

You sould also read is more recent instructables, contains a lot of useful information about the forming in hot water.

We hope this thing can start a small movement of interested peoples sharing their design, to make this thing work for the best.
There is no better designer that the one who really need something :)
