What it is, and who it helps
A wrist and thumb support gives gentle compression and limits painful movements. It is useful for arthritis, repetitive strain and carpal tunnel symptoms, and for daily tasks such as cooking, gardening and writing.
A light, flexible support lets the hand keep working while resting the joint, and a night splint can ease morning numbness.
How to choose
- Choose the correct side, left or right, and a size based on the wrist circumference.
- Pick a breathable fabric with an adjustable strap, and a splint insert if firm support is needed.
- Decide between a light daytime support and a firmer night splint.
- Check it does not restrict circulation or the fingers' movement.
Using it safely
- Take it off if fingers turn pale, blue or numb.
- Do not rely on it to avoid all movement; gentle exercise keeps the joint mobile.
- See a doctor if pain is severe, swollen or persistent.
Before you buy
Should a wrist support be worn at night?
A night splint can help carpal tunnel symptoms. Ask a doctor first, since treatment depends on the cause.
How do I know the support is the right tightness?
It should feel snug and supportive, but you should be able to slide a finger underneath, and the fingers should stay warm and pink.
