Ctrac™ for CTS wrist splint

Coverage decision

The Ctrac ™ for CTS splint is not covered at this time. The Ctrac ™ device is not covered due to the absence of published literature showing safety and effectiveness.

The Ctrac ™ splint is intended to eliminate the symptons of carpal tunnel syndrome. Inflation of an air bladder within a firm plastic splint worn on the hand is purported to stretch the transverse carpal tunnel ligament (TCL) as well as the flexor retinaculum (FR).
