Abstract

A therapeutic infrared emitting wrist cover (12) that provides a wrist cover (12), constructed for placement over a human wrist (10), that contains an infrared energy generating system (14). The wrist cover (12) emits infrared energy into the wrist (10) at a localized area corresponding to the carpal tunnel for the purpose of providing therapeutic heat inside the wrist (10) in order to relieve the symptoms and to prevent further trauma associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
