Review on MEDLINE ORT18000L Universal Forearm Splints by David Dober

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The inner sleeve is not visible in the photo, it did not fit.

I ordered this due to a left wrist sprain. Nowhere in the description did I see any reference to an inner sleeve being attached, which was so tight that I could not put it on even though my swollen arm was in the measuring area. Stupidly I cut the sleeve to make it work so I can't return it, definitely my fault. I was looking for a solution to my sprained wrist, I was willing to try anything to make it fit. I've had several braces of a similar style from different manufacturers but for the right hand, none of which had an inner sleeve that prevented the brace from opening fully, so I hadn't even imagined this product would have such a limitation. When you order make sure you want the inner sleeve. This probably adds support but limits the fit in my case. The velcro is so sticky that it was difficult to undo, especially with my limited and painful ability to manipulate it with two hands.

Pros
  • arm, hand and finger rests
Cons
  • not sure
