BULLSEYE Wrist Band - Silicone Ring Provides Pain Relief From TFCC Injury

Having broken a wrist as a child, I’ve lately been trying this Bullseye Brace to help stabilize it and reduce tendon/joint discomfort during exercise, martial arts training, or when lifting heavy objects. Some folks seem to have their old wrist injuries practically disappear when wearing this brace. Such is not the case for me—but it does significantly reinforce the weakness of that wrist and somewhat reduce the tendon pain in the limb, while the hands and wrist joint maintains an ideal flexibility and functionality. Most other braces for the wrist severely limit the range of movement while also not providing as many (or any) of the benefits of this one. It is a bit expensive compared to other braces, and honestly seems like it could be cheaper, but addresses a specific niche of wrist injuries (old, fixed injuries which have left behind some frustrating issues of functionality—as opposed to new, less severe/permanent injuries like sprains and tendonitis, which require different wrist devices for different accommodation). To pay 1.5x, 2x or 3x the price of generic braces manufactured in larger quantities, which are designed for treatments of less severe or permanent wrist issues, would feel more reasonable if the Bullet brace were more refined in design or more durable. I wish it were a bit lower in price so customers who need it could easily buy two or three, perhaps using one daily for work (especially if work involves regular physical labor), and one to keep on hand for exercise, sports, traveling, etc. It would be nice to try different sizes without being frustrated by the cost if one fits poorly. This is a very helpful and welcome product and design and hopefully it becomes more widely accessible and available in the future. Update: 4.5 just because as others have said, it seems to take some sports tape on the inside to keep it from slipping down the forearm slightly. Not a huge deal, but it makes the price feel silly. It’s effective, though.

This brace is absolutely fantastic, and relieved my pain rather immediately. Before the brace, I was using athletic tape to stabilize my wrist. Please ignore the fact that I shaved my wrist hair. My wrist is slightly under 7" in circumference. I originally purchased the S/M size brace (first two pictures that I posted), and the brace Did work well. I positioned the brace so the silicone ring wraps around your ulna head, and tightened it as much as possible. The brace does Not slide around at all. I was unhappy with the length of the brace. I emailed Jeff and he sent me two more braces to try (the L/XL-pictures 3 and 4- and, what seems to be, a S/M Rind with a longer band - pictures 5 and 6). The ring on the L/XL (picture 3) feels too large to me, and doesn't provide as much support as the S/M ring. The band does however close all the way (picture 4), so that's a plus. If only there was another option where the band was large and the ring was small. Lo and behold, there is! Jeff was kind enough to send me Another brace to try that has a smaller ring but longer wrist strap (pictures 5 and 6). I'll be honest, I kinda look like a badass, and it's ridiculously comfortable. I have been wearing it for hours and I don't even know it's on. I Was a little confused when I received the 2 latter braces as Both boxes that they came in were marked "L/XL". Jeff should probably fix this so people can designate that they want the smaller ring with the larger wrist strap versus the actual L/XL - which looks like it would work well for a different wrist injury than mine.

I tried another brand and returned it immediately. This item was a little more expensive but provided much greater support and comfort. Functionally this is a superior product.

The stitching came apart and unraveled where you thread the strap. It fell apart before I was able to get it on the first time. I assumed it was a fluke, so I reordered. Very disappointed it happened again the second time. It is a phenomenal splint and highly recommend. Do not buy thru Amazon. I recommend buying directly from bullseyebrace dot com.

This was recommended by my physical therapist after I broke my wrist to help with the swelling. I am amazed at how well it works. I do need to wear it constantly as I'm very swollen. I know it's helping because I have to adjust the closure to make it smaller so it fits better on my wrist. I use a pen and make a small dot on the joint so I can center it exactly in the middle of the bullseye when putting it on to make sure it's on the right place.

It is difficult to to keep in place when you bend your wrist

I was surprised at how cheaply made this product appears. It's a velcro band with a silicone ring embedded in it. Unless it is exceptionally difficult to embed a silicone ring in a wrist band, this item is overpriced for the quality. I don't like feeling ripped off. If I saw this item out of the box with no knowledge of it, based on the look, weight, and feel I would not think more than five dollars was spent on it. The strap gives dollar store vibes. While it applies compression as intended, the cheap velcro easily attaches to and snags anything in range. Typically items at this price point reveal there was some kind of thought about design. Not much here as far as I can tell. It seemed to fit fine despite the not so user friendly details on fit. My overall thought was: If this is what 40 dollars gets me, I'll make my own compression band. I imagine the raw materials would cost under five dollars at any craft store. Bottom line, if you're thinking "you get what you pay for" and opt for this higher price compression band, you'll be sorely disappointed.

I have a TFCC small tear ame ecu tendinitis 6 months now. I was splinted and did 2 month of PT. At one point I could’t hold my cell phone or drive or do dishes. TFCC issues take a long time to heal and you may need to wear wrist supports for life and only do pikes and push ups on knuckles or w a grip assist. Small thing to give up in exchange for day to day functionality. I have used a variety of wrist wraps through out my injury. At first I used wrist wraps but I had odd sharp pains when I put weight on my wrists or supinate them with weights. Also, the wraps seems to hurt my ulna bone. Then I tried the wrist widget which I love but I didn’t get better so I went to the doc and pt. They said at this stage you need max tfcc support & prescribed a plastic ulna gutter splint then I progressed to the ulna booster. I wore the splint 24/7 for 3 weeks then switched to the ulna booster and a night brace, but after several months this was causing stiffness in the thumb area. Lately I was wearing the wrist widget when exercising but while it stabilizes the tfcc it also irritates the ecu tendon. I was having pain along my pinkie and into the hand until I put thus on instant relief. For anyone who has had this it is painful. I worked out and not only did it feel stable ( no clicking) no pain and increased strength and ROM. Before putting this on I couldn’t put weight on my hands w flexion but I could with this strap ( still had to be careful no burpees or anything). The genius is the space for the head of the ulna bc most wraps compress this are which increases pain, inflammation, and compressed the tfcc space when it needs to be opened up which the strap does. Then it pulls the 2 bones of the wrist together. It is also a little more comfortable than the widget bc it is made of neoprene and the hole for the ulna bone is a soft gel.

J'ai mesuré mon poignet et selon le tableau de taille ça me prenait un s/m. Le tableau est inexact le S/M est beaucoup trop petit 1.5" d'écart. Ça me prendrait un l/XL. Je ne sais pas si ça va aider, mais sérieusement 90$ pour ça c'est vraiment exagéré.

It unfortunately broke on the first day I used it
