Mounted onto a standard office desk, the Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro creates a gently curving inset at the front of the desk and comfortable support for both forearms. With the forearms resting on the forearm support, the smaller muscles of the upper back and shoulders no longer have to carry the weight, helping to reduce fatigue, inflammation, and pain in these muscle groups. The unique, asymmetric shape of the support is designed primarily for right-handed users, but it can also work well for those who use a central pointing device. The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro features an extremely low profile of just 11 mm. This makes it well-suited for deployment with low profile keyboards, completely eliminating the potential for wrist extension while keying.
The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro features European styling and craftsmanship and tool-free installation. The surface is composed of a polyurethane foam pad covered with supple imitation leather. The firm foam cushioning helps to prevent injury to pressure-sensitive areas on the inside of the arm, and the imitation leather cover permits virtually effortless movement. The cover can be cleaned and disinfected as necessary.
Included steel brackets and winged bolts securely clamp the forearm support to any desk or table up to 1.0" thick, and a plate steel base ensures overall strength and rigidity.
The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro replaces the discontinued Universal Forearm Support.
Note: Arm and hand support solutions which elevate the hand above the mousing surface can subtly change hand placement on some specialized mousing devices, potentially affecting the manner in which the user interacts with the devices and possibly limiting the ergonomic benefits generally associated with them. With some products these changes may be more significant than with others. Please call to speak with a Customer Service Specialist to discuss the compatibility of this product with the intended pointing device. | | Ergonomic Benefits |
|---|
Reduces Strain on Upper Back and Shoulders - The Slimline Forearm Support Pro relieves the burden on the muscles of the shoulders and upper back, which would otherwise bear the load of supporting and stabilizing the weight of the extended arms. During lengthy or repeated work sessions, these smaller upper body muscles can become fatigued and inflamed. The Slimline Forearm Support Pro prevents strain, and can give previously overtaxed muscle groups an opportunity to relax and recover.
Can Reduce Fatigue in the Arms and Hands - When static tension in the shoulders and upper back muscles is alleviated, blood flow through the tissues of the arms and hands improves, reducing the risks of inflammation, pain and injury.
Prevents Inadvertent Wrist Extension - The depth and slight elevation of the Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro prevent the user from dropping the heels of the hand to the desk top when typing. Preventing this bend at the wrist creates a healthier, neutral alignment of the hand and arm that can alleviate or prevent the development of painful conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Provides Pressure-Free Support - With the Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro, the weight of the forearm and wrist is distributed over a much greater surface area than is possible with a more traditional wrist rest or palm support, significantly reducing the possibility of uncomfortable pressure points. The soft, molded waterfall design also eliminates possible pinch points where the underside of the forearms would meet the edge of the desk.
Improves Posture - With insufficient arm support, users sometimes tend to hunch forward, especially when concentrating, or as they tire during a lengthy work session. The result is prolonged overextension of the muscles of the upper back, and at the rear of the shoulders and neck. Repeated periods of overextension in these muscle groups can cause pain and inflammation, and can lead to unhealthy tightening of the muscles in the chest. The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro helps the user avoid this hunched posture, allowing the spine to maintain the orthopedically stable "S" curve that keeps the muscles of the upper body in healthy balance.

- Asymmetric Design: Right-handed users will appreciate the extra forearm support when mousing as well as keyboarding.
- Slender Design: The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro narrows to under 2" to minimize any reach to the keyboard, enabling users to position themselves as close as possible.
- Soft Cushioning: Polyurethane foam padding ensures that the forearms rest on no sharp edges or pressure points. The supple, imitation leather cover minimizes friction when moving across the surface.
- Ultra-Low Profile: The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro is only 0.43" thick (before compression). This makes it ideal for use with low profile scissor-switch or chiclet style keyboards.
- Tool-Free Mounting: The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro is equipped with steel brackets that are secured to the worksurface with included hand-tightening winged bolts.
- Easy to Clean: The imitation leather surface can easily be wiped down or disinfected with many common cleaners.

| | Usage Tips |
|---|
- Avoid using the Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro with non-standard keyboards. If your keyboard has a curved front edge, or has integrated palm supports, you will likely find that you have to reach too far forward to access the keys, creating tension in the muscles of the back, shoulders and neck. Attempting to use the Forearm Support Pro with a non-standard keyboard risks recreating one of the problems the product was designed to address.
- Use the front mounting position. The Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro can be mounted in two positions. Most would benefit from having the support mounted fully over the edge of the desk (i.e. with very little overhang.) This position provides the greatest stability and allows the individual to be positioned as close as possible to the desk.
- Use the Slimline Universal Forearm Support Pro as intended. Do not attempt to brace yourself against the support to lift yourself out of your chair.
