Wrist Braces & Splints

From phone-and-keyboard strain to carpal tunnel, sprains and gym injuries — the wrist responds well to rest plus the right splint. Here's how cock-up splints, thumb braces, carpal supports and wraps differ, and how to size, wear and wash them.

When a Wrist Support Helps

How to Choose the Right Size

Sized by wrist circumference and hand (left/right). Match the brand chart, not your glove size.

We measure and fit you in-store.

How to Wear It Correctly

  1. Slide your hand in so the rigid stay sits under the forearm/palm, not over the knuckles.
  2. Keep the wrist in a neutral, slightly-extended position.
  3. Fasten straps snugly from the wrist outward — fingers stay free to move.
  4. For carpal tunnel, wearing it at night often helps the most.
  5. Loosen if fingers tingle, go cold or change colour.

Washing & Maintenance

  • Slide out the metal/plastic stay if removable
  • Hand-wash fabric in cold/lukewarm water, mild soap
  • Close the velcro first; air-dry in shade
  • Re-insert the stay only when fully dry
  • No hot water, bleach or machine dryer
  • No direct sun or ironing
  • Don't wash with the metal stay still inside (if removable)
  • Replace if velcro stops gripping

When to see a doctor

See a doctor for severe pain, a suspected fracture, persistent numbness or weakness in the hand, or carpal-tunnel symptoms that aren't improving — you may need tests or treatment beyond a splint.

Wrist Support FAQs

Best splint for carpal tunnel?+

A cock-up splint that holds the wrist neutral — often worn at night. A thumb-support version is used if the thumb base is involved too.

Wrist brace vs wrist splint?+

A wrap/brace gives compression and mild support for sprains and gym. A splint has a rigid stay that holds the wrist still — for carpal tunnel, fractures or immobilization.

Should I wear it at night?+

For carpal tunnel, night wear often helps most — it keeps the wrist neutral while you sleep. Follow your doctor's advice on duration.

How do I wash it?+

Remove the stay if possible, hand-wash the fabric cold/lukewarm with mild soap, close velcro, air-dry in shade. No hot water, bleach, dryers or sun.
