L-Left : BraceAbility Thumb & Wrist Tendonitis Splint | Immobilizes Thumb Joint to Treat De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Tendon Pain, Swelling & Inflammatory Arthritis (L - Left Hand)

I had De Quervains Tenosynovitis. I ended up buying 4 different braces. This one was cumbersome and didn't offer great support.

Having experience 2 similar falls when on each occasion injuring my left wrist and on the 2nd occasion almost tore the thumb off which required sutures I am now able to wear this wrist brace and will not venture out of doors without it. It not only fully supports my injured wrist, but also provides reassurance of not tearing my thumb off should I have a further fall. The only observation I do have is where the supplier only offers this product in small, medium and large, thereby failing to appreciate that there are a great many, such as myself, with larger hands and thicker wrists. Therefore I have had to tightly fasten the strap closest to my knuckles because it is at least 1 cm too short, but unfortunately this does cause swelling in my knuckles. It appears that the supplier does not offer a larger size than size large. Further, each of the fastener straps are disproportionate in their length for any normal hand, whatever the size of the hand. Put simply whilst my hands are fairly large, they are proportionate to my wrists and lower arm. However, the strap around the thumb should be reduced in length by at least 4 cm. I am concerned not to cut it shorter in the event it may fray My suggestion to the manufacturer is that the first strap from above the knuckle should be at least 1cm. longer. Further, the extra buckle closest to the arm serves absolutely no purpose I have given it a 5 star rating because (a) I was aware when ordering this support that it was only offered in size large and the fact that the 3 supporting metal braces fit and support the hand perfectly. The delivery was prompt and the item was well packaged.

the strip to lock down Velcro is super thin, comes undone easily. The thumb space is very shallow so if your thumb is down low, you cannot slide piece down on wrist. it does have good support for thumb and side of wrist. It is a much better deal here than in doctors office, My doctor recommended me getting it on amazon and showed me which 1 to get. It has been helpful and helping me heal. It is heavy....but its stong.

This is a well-made product. I purchased this because I have de Quervain tenosynovitis and the custom molded brace from my hand surgeon rubbed in certain areas. This brace does not cure the condition but provides needed support and some comfort especially at night.

This is very comfortable, although having your thumb and wrist partially immobilized isn't. Anyway it has 3 velcro straps that you can adjust for fit and comfort, there is some minor difficulty when adjusting it, because you can only use one hand. Just don't pull them too tight, I managed to make it too tight and my thumb fell asleep a couple of times. It's mostly cloth and breathable so you won't sweat when you wear it. There is what I think is a piece of metal (might be plastic) to support the thumb. I'd recommend it.
