FEATOL Wrist Brace for Carpal Tunnel Relief, Wrist Support Brace Sleeping with Metal Splints Right Hand, Small/Medium for Women and Men, Adjustable Arm Hand Support for Tendonitis, Arthritis, Injuries, Wrist Pain, Sprained

My first wrist brace purchased elsewhere was so scratchy and uncomfortable. This one is far better. It is soft and slightly cushioned inside. It has the gel pack to use if needed. I highly recommend this brace.

I fell and hurt my wrist. It was very swollen. The wrist guard was shipped overnight, arrived at 7am on a weekend! It saved me an ER visit. Thank you!

DISCLAIMER: Any suggestions or statements are from my own personal experience, or my memory of what my doctor has said. Do not use it to make medical decisions without agreement by your own physician. I assume no responsibility for your use of this device or any part of my experience with or without approval of your own physician. After I was able to fasten the sleeve in a way that worked for me, it has become tremendously helpful. I have been going through a phase I guess where I must be gripping my fist at night, with the result in the morning, my fingers or even arm may tingle sharply when I stretch it out. The tingling or discomfort is partially like a carpel-tunnel effect. My physician believed I was also suffering from a pinched nerve in my the back of my neck. Gradually the problems have been going away, and as I write this review today, I have none of it. Notes about the product packaging: directions are scant, and tiny. Four small pictures illustrate the recommended sequence for fastening the three straps. A little larger on the box, but not necessarily obvious. I read the box as illustrating, where if numbered 1-2-3 (from top to bottom with my arm towards the ceiling), a sequence of 2-3-1. Personally, the best sequence I found over time was to fasten them in a 3-2-1 sequence. Note the first of 4 pictures illustrates inserting a heat-or-cool pack (included). I havent used one, but I noted that the printed directions warned against using the heat or cold for any extended period of time. For me, it has worked best to fasten the sleeve just before going to bed, on in the middle of the night if I wake up with that unwanted tingling. Personal discovery: The best fastening for me has been to avoid a tight-snug fastening - that restricts the spread of my fingers. I want the device snug around my arm (without restricting blood flow), but not to trap my fingers on the sides. My doctor said for carpel tunnel (see Disclaimer!) the important thing is to keep the fingers from curling - the ridge of the device will help with that. Its taken some experimentation to get it right -- too far up is as unhelpful as too low. (A) The device comes in several sizes - get the measurements and sizing matched for you. (B) The best position for me has my thumb not restricted by any edge of the thumbhole. Personal caveats: I made other changes to my environment, of which I believe this sleeve played an important role. But to be fair I should say I replaced the 4foundation and frame with 4 legs that came box-spring that came with my mattress of long ago for a new spring-like-foundation with its own legs raised about a foot from the floor. That replacement has been instrumental to improving my overall-body-support at night. Old as it is, surprised as I am, I plan to keep the mattress (now in its 13th year) because I am sleeping well for the first time since we got the bed (after having tried, earlier, two other mattresses). In an earlier model of this sleeve, I noticed some reviews complaining about the Velcro fasteners over time losing their adhesion. Ive had this 2-3 months, and notice a lesser instant-glue effect, but have had no trouble getting a secure fastening. After removal, I try to loosely rewrap each strap so that none tangle with each other or something nearby. Any decisions you make from this review: See Disclaimer, i.e., YMMV. :)

This keeps my wrist from moving while I can still move my fingers and type on my computer and its adjustable. I fractured my arm just above my wrist and my doctor said this was a good brace to use while it heals. I like it and its comfortable so I bought a second one to have when this one gets dirty - I have an 8-10 week time frame for the bone to fully heal.

It keeps the arms stable. It works just as described.

The brace is easy to use, to get in place and also to remove. It provides strong support but is lightweight. I also rather like the grey color.

I bought the left and right braces at the same time! The right brace is great! It helped me get relief from the pain, and stopped me from stressing the wrist anymore! The left brace started fraying at the top right stay. I had to get out my sewing machine and stitch it back up! Hoping it holds!!!

After reading the reviews, I purchased this wrist brace to stabilize my sprained wrist. I hyperextended or over torqued my wrist using an electric drill to drill multiple 1inch holes in a tree stump. The spade bit would get stuck about 6-8 inches down. The drill bit immediately stopped but the drill, my hand and the attached wrist continued to rotate. After a few attempts to win this battle, I stopped because my wrist was objecting to the abuse. After a few weeks the pain and lack of strength in the wrist was not getting better. I hoped the brace would stabilize the wrist so the tissue could heal. The brace did hold the wrist in place and alleviated much of the pain associated with general daily movements. I kept the brace on for about 23 hours each day and slept with the brace on. After several weeks I ended up in physical therapy. The physical therapist made me a custom, HARD-backed brace. I think getting the FEATOL wrist brace was a step in the right direction and the hot/cold pack was useful. The physical therapist’s concern was that the FEATOL brace allowed too much movement but they are designed to accommodate multiple size wrists. I am now several months post injury and still struggling with my limp wrist. The brace did its job, but 75-year-old people just don’t bounce back like a 40 year old. However, I would still recommend the FEATOL wrist brace as it did stabilize the wrist and provided some relief.
