Review on πŸ–οΈ Carpal Tunnel Support Braces for Wrists by Matthew Goyette

Revainrating 3 out of 5

light weight, good fit

I'm a 6ft 2in tall Northern European male and although I don't have very large hands I usually wear large gloves. I find this clamp just big enough to fit, the velcro straps barely extend past the vinyl cover of the plastic tire bag and around my thumb. For a person with slightly larger palms, this bandage will not work. With a hard plastic splint attached, wearing a bandage while working at a computer is inconvenient because the palm portion of the splint prevents a mouse or trackball from being held. This is slightly less of a problem when the splint is removed (from a tiny hidden slot at the bottom of the bag), but if you anticipate needing the brace while working on your computer, you'll find that it gets in the way is . On the plus side, the brace is very lightweight and much less intrusive (though not as remotely adjustable) compared to a fully rigid brace like the 3M Futuro models. The fabric is as soft and breathable as advertised and is stretchy enough to retain a degree of flexibility while still providing support to ease minor musculoskeletal strains. I can see where a person with smaller hands would find it acceptable not to require full immobilization both day and night.

Pros
  • βœ… breathable and soft: the entire bracelet is designed with ventilation holes. He's not sweating even after a few hours. All wrists, including the edges of the velcro straps, are very soft. It will not scratch your face and skin. Velcro strips are strong enough to stay in place all night. You don't have to worry about the sheet getting stuck.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
