Wrist Splint Ossur® Exoform® Carpal Tunnel Low Profile Plastic / Nylon Right Hand Black / Blue / Gray Medium

Less sweaty than others I’ve tried!

I’ve previously used one from the chemist but the physio recommended I try these ones. In particular so I can use them with my wheelchair which has been making my carpal tunnel worse. I do love that these are more airy so great for during the day. I think the thumb strap will be the first thing to go but they are cost effective and comfortable and other reviews commented on longevity. Also great that they have no Velcro! So it doesn’t catch my hair if I have to fix my ponytail, doesn’t catch on clothes etc

Love it

I suffer from carpal tunnel and after a long day at work typing both my wrists are just so painful. I have been wearing this just over a week while i sleep and sometimes while i work and it has really helped. I first bought the right hand one and bought the left hand one the next day as it was so comfortable and great quality.

It’s helping :)

Recently was diagnosed with moderate severity CTS, GP recommended use of Ibuprofen gel topically on wrist area and using a CTS brace at night. Have been using for a couple of weeks and has reduced symptoms. One night woke and took off this brace and woke a couple hours later with a tingling hand, put it back on and hasn’t happened since. Thank you for a well designed product

LOVE this brace! Completely relieves all numbness and tingling.

I've had carpal tunnel syndrome for 10 years, and my symptoms, not surprisingly are really bad. I've tried a variety of braces over the years, and they either don't work or are incredibly hot to wear during the summer months in QLD. This one is super-cool and so easy to keep clean. I chose the M size and it fits me perfectly...like a glove! :) I did a bunch of research and saw this brace, read all the reviews, and bought one (couldn't believe how cheap it was) - and it is FANTASTIC! What's not to love? It completely stops all numbness and tingling in my thumb/fingers. The padded inner bit can be removed and washed which is brilliant as I wear mine in the garden and it gets filthy. The hard shell design is fantastic at keeping the wrist in the correct position, and it is super-easy to take on and off. Plus it looks sexy in a cyber-robot kind of way. I just love it and wish I'd found it 10 years ago. Better than anything else on the market, as far as I'm concerned. I even wear it without the inner padding when it's wet from being washed, and while it's a bit scratchy, it's still wearable. It has completely removed my CTS symptoms. I absolutely recommend this product to anyone who has CTS. No other brace compares.

Great support for carpal tunnel sufferers

This brace has made a significant difference in reducing numbness in both of my wrists from the first day i started using it, and I have only been using it at night. The only reasons why I haven't given 5 stars is because there's room for improvement. Pros: - Very affordable - provides great support for the wrists - easy to put on and remove without assistance once you have put them on a couple of times and got your head around it. - slim and airy design. Not being fully closed, these allow for better ventilation Cons: - The fabric material gets smelly and needs to be washed after 2-3 nights wearing them. - the fabric padding is glued onto the brace itself, so the whole brace has to be washed. It would be nice if the padding was removable - the clipping closure can open during the night and has happened a few times. - I have woken up with mild numbness from my wrist pressing against the brace in a couple of occasions.

Seems to work OK but not the most comfortable

I have found that the right hand support fits better than the left hand for me despite being the same size. I could do with a smaller size on the left and but it's the smallest size sold/made (?). I can't adjust the support to fit better because the very narrow and inflexible bit that runs between my thumb and index finger cuts into me and hurts me on both hands. I'm also finding that the claps that hold the support shut don't grip very well and work their way loose frequently. Also there is a section by my little finger that sticks out preventing me from tightening the strap over the hand. I guess that's another sign that the smallest size is actually too big for me. One positive note is that the liner can be removed to be washed which it is going to need to be because after less than a week it is already dirty and smelling. If I find a better fitting support that prevents wrist movement I'll stop using these, but until then...

This brace is awesome!!!

I have tried so many wrist braces, but I run hot and they are all SO HOT and uncomfortable I just wanna rip them off. This brace is absolutely perfect for me! No velcro, I love the snaps, highly adjustable, so comfy, gives more support than other traditional wrist braces I've tried and the low profile with so many openings is awesome. I'm able to wear it all day and I can function normally with it on with minimal discomfort. However I wouldn't purchase it for sleeping as it will not stay on. The rubber on the palm is tatting to separate after only a month though so that is my reason for 4 stars. In every other way I would rate it 5 stars and the way the rubber is separating is minimal and does not affect function as the inner liner is behind it but it does make me doubt the durability of the product. Overall I'm very happy and I highly recommend. I will definitely be purchasing another when needed.

Very effective for carpal tunnel pain

This brace has very quickly eliminated my carpal tunnel pain. Using it overnight made the initial difference, as that’s when the steady sharp ache would hit the worst. It fits well, though at times it does, admittedly, feel just a little awkward, but it’s more than worth it to be rid of the pain. I’ve now started using it whenever I work on the computer. I am very glad I made this purchase.

Thank you for the great wrist braces

These wrist braces are so much better than the standard wrist braces available at the chemist. The only reason I gave the braces 4 stars instead of 5 is because the thumb space, although much larger and more comfortable than the chemist ones is still a little tight around the base of the thumb. I have carpal tunnel in both wrists and arthritis in both thumb bases so I have to wear the braces at night. The wrist braces from the chemist had many problems including being clumsy and hot as well as having many exposed areas of Velcro. They would catch on the bedding and constantly woke me up. They were also very noisy to remove and were hard to open because of my arthritis. Your wrist braces are easy to to fasten and easy to remove. They are much cooler because of the more open design. They don’t catch on anything and rarely disturb my sleep. For people without arthritis they would be excellent. The only design features I would like to see changed are having a slightly larger opening at the base of the thumb and perhaps some padding for the joint between the thumb and index finger. (Made from a soft plastic it’s not too bad, but can be a little uncomfortable. It has never caused me to wake up, so it’s not too bad.) Thanks for the well thought out design. It’s light years ahead of the competition.

Absolutely brilliant. Ehlers-danlos syndrome hypermobility syndrome support

It's a great unit. It's solid, small and breathable! It doesn't extend as far up your arm as most so less skin friction and no EDS skin injury. If you have a collection of braces for every joint, like I do, this one is definitely a must. I was so impressed I won't be using my regular braces with the metal inserts anymore. This brace for either or both wrists are comfortable and cool. It looks great and is exceptionally engineered and designed. Ergonomic pads in all the right spots. It's as supportive as a fibreglass cast without the dreaded weight. Absolutely a great find and well worth the price. You can use your fingers without hyperextension to your wrists. I'll post this to the ehlers-danlos groups as well. I would feel bad if I didn't tell people about it. Thank you and much appreciated.

Effective Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace

After many years of suffering the effects of Carpal Tunnel, I am really pleased to have found a brace that I am able to work with when symptoms are particularly bad - it's light-weight design with plenty of thumb space making this possible. It is also the only brace I have found that completely alleviated the pins and needles, "dead" hands and shooting nerve pain I usually experience at night. The only reason I have given a four- rather than five-star review is that I have been finding it difficult to get used to (and slightly uncomfortable) sleeping with them - I'm not sure if this is due to the way I sleep or the fact that I have carpal in both wrists (and so have both braced) but the complete alleviation of pain is encouraging me to persevere in the hope that I just need to get used to them. Thanks for making a truly effective product.

No more numbness or pins and needles at night.

The medium size fits me well, I’m an upper small dimension but decided on the medium just to be sure. I now sleep through the night without being woken by carpal tunnel tingling nerve discomfort in my left hand, which is a relief, and will be purchasing one for the right wrist as well. The brace is light weight. Easy to attach and remove once you get used to it, despite arthritic fingers. Cooler to wear than the cheaper neoprene version. My only reservation is the slight irritation from the slim band that goes around the joint of the thumb, I cushion it with a folded tissue.

Braces are fantastic, compression ice packs are horrible

I ordered a left and right brace. I am extremely happy with them. I also ordered 2 compression ice packs. They feel like a rip-off. For $30+ each and to have the gel pack stay cold for 7 minutes is a bit ridiculous. Dr. suggests 20 minutes of ice and with 2 packs, I get 14 minutes; tops. The braces are amazing!! I work 10 hour days in electrical. The ice packs are not worth the money though.

Excellent product, value for money, works

Have had wrist and shoulder problems for years and the brace has improved my quality of life - it happened immediately. Bought this after seeing my doctor and receiving a CTS diagnosis, and it has helped with my pain and improved general comfort hugely whilst I wait for surgery. I wish I had bought this years ago. Wear to bed every night and wake up with no shoulder pain either - it stops the wrist bending under for side sleepers and takes the pressure off the shoulder. Also great for wearing during the day. **If you are right on the upper limit of a size, I would suggest going up a size. I fit the S but am exact measurements for the size limit, in hindsight a M would suit me more. Better to have more surface area and less wrapping than more wrapping and less product surface area but still great.

Relieves symptoms, restrictive, value for money

I have only used a flexible wrap around brace prior to these for CTS and whilst the support and movement was good the material irritated me. These braces are quite rigid, however they have relieved my symptoms even with brief wear and once I worked out how best to wear them so I didn't get a jarring feeling. They are very restrictive so I wear when at my computer rather than overnight, however will need to find something else which allows some movement for support when doing things which aggravate my CTS. Materials have not irritated me which is great, eases symptoms, just not able to do much whilst wearing them.

Best Brace for Carpal Tunnel

This is my second set of these braces. I have severe carpal tunnel in both wrists and am waiting for surgery - I was notified that I would have surgery just before we went into lockdown in Tasmania, and this was then put on hold. I replaced my braces because I had bought a size too big the first time round, and I broke one of the strap slots by pulling on it too hard - my fault, not the product. I wear the braces every night without fail, and have been using them for over two years. Prior to these braces I was getting a couple of hours of broken sleep, constantly aware of pain. Other braces (at least 3 different kinds) were not effective for me, too heavy, too hot, too uncomfortable, etc. These braces are light weight, comfortable and do not make my arms and hands hot. Whilst they do not totally prevent the numbness and pain, they alleviate it significantly and allow me to get a good night sleep. I would definitely recommend this product.

Worth it!

I've had a different one for years until it gave up on me so I decided to look for a different one.. I actually prefer this one than my old one, which is mostly velcro, which sometimes ends up scratching myself while I sleep. My only concern is the glue that binds the cushion on to the brace itself is not strong enough. but other than that, its pretty good and it helps me sleep at night and reduce the pain. and very easy to put on.

Good fit and more comfy than others

I tried this brace as I was looking for something a little more lightweight, especially coming into summer. I get really hot and the fabric brace with steel struts I had was too hot and I found I was taking it off in my sleep. This brace is still a little warm for my preference, but that has more to do with me than its design. I like that the closures are not velcro based and that the lining can be easily removed for washing. Overall, I like it. If I need one for the other wrist I'll get the same again

Helped my carpal tunnel syndrome significantly!

Purchased wrist brace for my right hand as I have been diagnosed with severe CTS. After a few nights getting used to wearing it, settled in and am painfree at night now. Some tingling through the day still, but certainly much better while I wait for surgery. An inexpensive and effective interim solution.

Love it!

I love the lighter weight brace, especially for summer months. It is easy to wash and dries quickly. I teach sign language and it provides the support I need without restricting other movement. Biggest highlight is that there is no pressure pushing on the carpal nerve like other braces. My hand therapist just saw me wearing it and likes it versus other over the counter options.

Works perfectly

Having issues with both my hands I needed to find something that helped. These braces are perfect. Being able to sleep without numbness is great and the support they provide without being completely restrictive is just what I needed. Not so comfy when you lay your head on your hand, but its a small price to pay.

Carpal tunnel brace

This brace is unreal, I've been waking up with numb hands and arms for roughly 3 years, no other brace has worked, I read the reviews for these an decided to try them. I will never look back, they are comfortable as and do exactly what they're meant to do. Highly recommended for anyone who suffers from carpal tunnel.

WORKS

This is the second time I've purchased this brace - a replacement for my previous brace which lasted for 2 years). I'm back because quite simply, it works. I'm an artist with Carpal Tunnel in both wrists (but worse in my right) and wearing the brace at night makes an enormous difference and stops me from waking up in excruciating pain.

The best wrist Brace

This wrist brace really works, reduced my pain and discomfort from carpel tunnel much better than other braces have in the past. Comfortable to wear all day and sleep in, with good use of hands compared to others I have tried. Very good quality copared to more expensive products.

Wrist brace

I bought these for my Mum who has had one wrist operated on and is waiting for the other. Unfortunately the nerves have been compressed for considerable time and the healing and recovery is slow. However these braces have been a lifesaver, she wears them during the day and is able to use her hands without pain or discomfort. Cooler than other braces too and easy for her to put on and take off. Highly recommend.

Comfortable in hotter weather

Great brace for summer! Lots of other braces get very warm and sweaty in my experience but this one had extra breathability which was very nice Good adjustability but sometimes tricky to adjust and not too aure about the hook and loop closure But very supportive! And in the end that's probably most important

Unbelieveable

So much pain at night. Fingers tingling, numb & intense burning pain. After 1 night with brace on pain was gone. And remains gone. Still get minor tingles & numbness but i have full function of hand during the day & no night pain. These braces really work for carpal tunnel. Buy them. You will not regret it

My wrist brace is very comfortable. It supports my wrist drop all day long without getting too hot in my Florida humidity. The only feature needed to get the 5th star is I'd like it in a soft gray or pink. The black materials used does not fade away in the south where our colors are lighter and our sun brighter.

The product itself seemed REALLY quality. The practitioner that suggested I get it LOVES hers... and she does hands on PT and it worked great for her body shape. For me... It didn't create the stability in my particular wrist size or shape. I had two nurses try to work to get it to fit. I had high hopes. I hope it works for you. I'd still bring it up as an option. We could just see it was going to cause more issues than fix if I used it.

No more sleep disturbances

I have CTS and had been waking through the night with tingling and numbness in my hands and wrists. From the very first night wearing these wrist braces I’ve slept through the night with no CTS symptoms. It’s allowed by wrist and median nerve to get rest overnight and subsequently reduced CTS symptoms throughout the day.

Instant Relief

Great product, easy to use. Very light so doesn't heat up arm and hand. Provided relief from first use, used nightly on both hands. Great to sleep again without waking with through night in excruciating pain. Don't use during the day, not needed but brace may make computer use difficult.

Great quality

I was recommended by my neurologist to try these wrist splints for my carpal tunnel and I’m very happy with them, I mainly wear them while I’m sleeping and they are comfortable and I feel like they are helping me with the pain and swelling I get , easy to use and adjust, great quality & price , thankyou!!

The brace fits nicely and is comfortable. I love how lightweight they are. I would have given them 5 stars if it was just for fit and comfort. Unfortunately, since the inside cushion is attached with stick-on velcro, the velcro has already started to come loose. A bit disappointing, as I have had the braces for a week and wear them during the night only (8 hours roughly).

Pleasantly surprised......relief at last

I was skeptical as to how a brace could relieve the burning and tingling in my hands at night. The first night I noticed a remarkable difference. The second night I actually managed to sleep through the night for the first time in a very long time. Unfortunately due to the nature of my work I am unable to use it during the day. I am so pleased I decided to try this brace.

Little tricky to get on and off quickly (cause it’s on my dominant wrist/hand and my non-dominant hand doesn’t volunteer for duty very often) so I won’t be able to throw it on and off quickly at work liked I’d hoped as I alternate between patient care and the computer charting of that care (I’m an RN). But it should be great for recovery after shifts end.

Light weight and comfortable

I thought I needed a medium but it was sold out at the time BUT the small size fits me well too. With the small, I can adjust the straps and make it fir my wrist. It’s really good, it keeps my wrist straight and reduces swelling whenever I feel my wrist aching.

Very good

Hi there, From the first night I wore these to bed and for every night since they arrived, I have been wearing them when I sleep and I have been waking up without numb fingers or tingling fingers. I have not been able to do that for a very long time as I was unaware of carpal tunnel being the reason of my aching wrists, cold hands, pins and needles in my thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. These wrist guards are a game changer for how I start my day. Thank you.

Wrist brace

Its an excellent product. Support the wrist and really helps in managing the Carpal tunnel pain. I would recommend it to anyone having carpal tunnel issues.

Great brace and price

I have used this brace for my right arm for years. When I needed one for my left arm, I was excited to find it again. Still a little hard to adjust at first and get used to. Great support without all the extra wrap.
