VITTO Wrist Support - Arthritis, RSI, Sprain, Fracture, Carpal Tunnel Wrist Splint w/Adjustable Velcro Wrist Straps, Removable Metal Plate - Unisex Wrist Supports for Everyday Use (Left Hand, L-XL)

As a retired O.T. I found this to be a great help. Smart, and modern in appearance, well made fairly easy to apply, and comfortable. Good for the price,

Fits thumb perfectly. Might sound not so important but unlike the typical "NHS" wrist splint that I've had for years (the "flesh" coloured one - if one has weird flesh-tones ;) - with 4 Velcro straps), this actually has a hole for the thumb rather than wrap around it. Also, there's enough material for the Velcro not to touch & irritate my hands, which makes a change. (Both types of straps that I have are medium sized; this one fits better.) Unlike some other types of support for different joints that I've bought & had to return, this one's sizing is exactly as it says on the info, so thank you to whomever wrote that!As my arthritis is particularly bad in the base of both thumbs (this review applies to both left and right straps) as well as my wrists, it is a godsend to me. I'm so pleased that I'm literally writing this at 7:30 am after a bad night, but the left wrist and thumb which initially needed strapping were soothed within minutes, so they were no longer part of the equation. It actually helped me get some sleep!They're comfy, warm (may be too warm in the summer, I don't know, I haven't had them long so I'm not going to pass judgement), though it didn't make my hand sweat last night despite having the heating on, and just firm enough to support without cutting the blood supply to my thumb. I did remove the metal bar for overnight use, but it's a matter of a few seconds to take it out and put it back in, but for some occasions, the bar isn't at all necessary, there's good support without it.It has some give in it but it's not what I would call stretchy (that would defeat the object of the exercise). Because arthritis has made my hands a little bigger than they once were - though by no means are they boat paddles! - I've had difficulty in getting the right size support for my thumb, despite the measurements appearing correct. However, on this one, the size is exactly what I expected.Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who needs their wrists supporting, especially if your thumb base is bad.The only - tiny - improvement I would request that the maker takes on board (not enough to warrant losing a star) is that on the little maker's label - no need to add another one - on either side will do, please indicate whether it's left or right! Those of us with arthritis are likely to have it in both hands, though *not* necessarily have it flare up in both at the same time, and as they're wrapped up on themselves when not in use, it's dumb luck for me to pick up the correct one first time. I've used a silver pen to write L & R on the appropriate one, but I don't know if that will withstand a wash cycle. Anyway, that's the only negative thing I have found.

Good thing. Pain in wrist now bearable, it is good.

Comfortable to wear and good support

I have bought all sorts of supports and this is by far the best comfortable to wear and helps with pain, I liked it so much I have purchased another one.

I would suggest that this should be used carefully, and certainly not for more than 2 hours at a time because if it is used for more than that, pressure blisters may occur...NOT FOR USE AT NIGHT. But it does its job, is otherwise comfortable and supportive, etc. Be careful not to over-tighten.Overall, not bad though.

Perfect fit and really supportive

It was good but not supportive enough in the areas I need. Good value though.
