Repetitive stress issues in the hands and wrists are common in the dental profession since the hands operate in a mostly closed position. These repetitive motions perpetuate an imbalance of strength between the flexor muscles that enable gripping and the extensor muscles that enable hands to open, making it difficult to perform even routine tasks. Preventing these painful injuries has been made much easier with the Xtensor® Hand Exerciser.

The Xtensor develops the strength and endurance of finger extensors, providing the necessary stabilizing effects to reduce the risk of tendonitis and to improve dexterity. It works by applying resistance when a user opens his or her hands and completes a natural range of motion to stimulate the extensor muscles, tendons and finger joints.

Custom-blended elastomer resistance bands provide up to 700% elasticity and lock into three different positions to set tension. Each unit includes two comfort pads and 13 finger bands in three different sizes to custom-fit to every size hand, right or left. Weighs only 5 oz. One year manufacturer’s warranty.
