How the Retractable Squeeze Knife Prevents Carpal Tunnel for Warehouse Workers？

1.The Hidden Pain of Warehouse Work

Do you wake up with numb hands or wrist pain after a long day of cutting boxes? If so, you might be experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a common condition among warehouse workers, packers, and logistics staff.

2.What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed, leading to tingling, numbness, and weakness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Repetitive motions—like slicing through cardboard boxes—can worsen this condition over time, causing chronic pain and even muscle atrophy. 

For workers who rely on their hands daily, finding solutions to prevent carpal tunnel isn’t just about comfort—it’s about keeping their careers sustainable.

3.Understanding Carpal Tunnel: Causes and Prevention

Who’s at Risk?

• Warehouse workers (constant box cutting, packing)
• Construction laborers (using vibrating tools) 
• Manufacturing and assembly line workers
• Office workers (poor wrist posture while typing)  

How to Prevent Carpal Tunnel

1. Take frequent breaks to stretch hands and wrists.
2. Use ergonomic tools (like the Nova SK028 knife) to reduce strain.
3. Wear wrist braces for extra support during repetitive tasks.
4. Adjust workstation height to avoid awkward wrist angles.

4.The Problem with Traditional Box Cutters 

Most standard box cutters force workers to:
✔ Overuse thumb pressure, leading to fatigue.
✔ Bend wrists unnaturally, increasing nerve compression.
✔ Risk accidental cuts due to exposed blades.

Over time, these issues contribute to chronic CTS symptoms, making even simple tasks painful.

5.The Solution: Nova Retractable Squeeze Knife SK028
