EDNYZAKRNThumb Spica Splint, Thumb Stabilizer Brace, Wrist brace With Thumb Support Fits for Men and Women Left or Right Hand

The support is good but not wonderful. It does what we need it for but would not be the gull time splint at the early stages of recovery

I have de Quervain's tenosynovitis in my left hand/thumb and am recovering from surgery for the same thing on my right, caused by repetitive motion/overuse. I am hoping to avoid surgery on my left by immobilizing it as much as possible, so the tendons calm down. I was given a big/bulky brace that goes half way up my forearm by my primary care doctor that was kind of overkill, since mostly my thumb and wrist only need to be immobilized. It really isn't that comfortable to wear, so I find myself not wearing it as often as I should. My physical therapist gave me a neoprene type pull-on brace for my right that is similar to this brace but it doesn't have the thumb immobilization part and isn't as easily adjusted. I would say this brace is a cross between the two and perfect for what I need. I actually feel like this brace is more comfortable than the one I got from the physical therapist, since it is fully adjustable. I wasn't sure about it working both on the left hand and the right but it does! I have shared photos of it on both hands. It has a long strap and velcro all around, so you can angle it any way to make it more comfortable for your hand. The thumb also has a long velcro strap that adjusts as tight or loose as needed. Since I have been dealing with these hand issues for a long time, I have found that braces are only good if you wear them and you only wear them if they are comfortable. This is the first one that I feel is comfortable enough to wear 24-7, like I am supposed to on my left, including when I am driving and sleeping, which are times that I wouldn't wear my other big brace. I have been wearing this one for about a month and have felt some improvement in my pain in my left hand already, I'm sure it is because I have actually worn this one much more than my other big brace. I have at least pushed off the surgery hopefully for a few months or maybe forever, if things keep improving. I am glad I ordered this brace and I highly recommend checking with your doctor and seeing if it would help for anyone suffering from thumb pain related to arthritis/tendonitis/de Quervain's tenosynovitis or other injuries.

I have purchased several of these. Easy to wear, easy to type with it on and supportive of thumb from overuse spacebar. Only reason I don't give it a five is the material frays but due to price it's not a big deal.

I got this because I hurt my thumb and I needed something to help me hold it in place because I was hurting it more without the splint. The splint was very comfortable, easy to wash, and very breathable!

This is a well made brace with good securing velcro. It is easy to put on and take off and I like that you can use it on either hand as needed. I have had problems with a lot of the cheaper-made velcro after the last few years as they seem to either clog up with lint or from repeated usage and lose their grip. This is the standard old time velcro that won't wear out that way.There was no paperwork included in the heavy plastic zippered bag regarding cleaning, or on the product page, so one should probably assume it is a hand wash and hang dry appliance like most of these items. It is nice to have the bag for storage to keep dust off it when you don't need it, I would suggest hanging onto it for that reason rather than just tossing it out, but that's up to you.I also like how it covers the lower hand and wrist where some products have a narrower band that don't lend as much wrist/palm support. For my own use, the thumb joint at the base of my thumbs is what gives me the most problem versus the other joint and that additional lower palm-wrist support helps combat the inflammation by immobilizing the joint. Overall I don't think anyone should be disappointed in this product and the price is right for what you get

Works well keeping thumb stable, but metal bar becomes uncomfortable pressing into the side of my hand. May be because my hands are small.
