• I have carpal bossing between my 2nd and 3rd metacarpals on the dorsal wrist and I am trying to avoid surgery. What type of brace would be recommended?
• The Quickfit Wrist II is a good brace that should lie almost at the knuckle areas to give protection and support to the metacarpal bones.

• Have Rheumatoid Arthritis -- severe in wrists -- effect is both pain and limited flexion.
  What type brace is recommended for this condition.
  Thank you.
• The A2 Wrist brace will restrict your motion and immobilize the wrist which may decrease inflammation and pain. A wrist splint is the only thing I would reccomend for you.

• What is the proper procedure for cleaning this brace? Is it machine washable? Dryer? Hand wash? Air dry? etc......
  
  Thank you.
  
• Hello, Nancy -
  
  We recommend washing the brace by hand using anti-bacterial soap and water then air drying. We do not recommend putting it in the washing machine or dryer as some of the materials may be compromised or damaged.
  
  Thank you and have a nice day!

• The doctor just put my wife in an A2 wrist brace and we are looking for spares. Are they available in any other color than black? Her skin tone is quite pale (Irish) and she's over-conscious of her appearance.
  
  Thanks.

• Hello Tom,
  
  This item is only availible in Black at this time.
  
  You may want to look at the Aircast StabilAir Wrist Brace if color is a concern.

• If I have a wrist strain, afflicting my movement side to side rather than up and down, and I need to have a brace that can go in the ocean, what would you suggest?
• Hello,
  
  Your questions really depends on what you are doing in the ocean. If you plan on being active (Surfing) you'll need a DonJoy CXT & SXT Functional Wrist Brace to limit the motion effectivley.
  
  http://www.betterbraces.com/all-sport-dynamics-imcs-wrist-sport
  
  If you plan on being less active, a DonJoy ComfortFORM Wrist Support will suffice.

  Remember, you'll need to rinse the brace in fresh water after immersion.

Perfect brace for me.

Reviewed by: Ron
Verified Purchase

Firm, solid, stable, light, well constructed, easy to use, and extremely comfortable. Allows adequate movement and flexibility of my fingers. Medium fits me perfectly, with the two supporting bars exactly centered on my wrist and arm. Excellent brace for me.

Pros: All of the above.

Cons: Would ask for a bit more finger clearance.

Works great!

Reviewed by: David R.

These braces are secure and much better than the comparably priced options from Walmart. They're not ambidextrous, but since I use them on each hand, that's a plus! Each wrist stays aligned the way it needs to be, and my posture has improved greatly. Pain and tingling are way down.

Pros: •Instructions tell you where to position them for best results. •Braces the top and the bottom of the wrist. •Splints are embedded and don't wander.

Cons: •Not reversible.

It's OK

Reviewed by: Evelyn
Verified Purchase

The part that touches the knuckles can cause skin blister, therefore, this product needs improvement and redesigning.

Pros: It seems to restrict/support wrist movement and as a result, less pain noted on my tenosynovitis.

Cons: Rough edge where it touches the knuckles.

comfortable brace

Reviewed by: hardy

Have used braces for last 8 years for carpel tunnel. Prior braces all caused irritation from the velcro band, where it crossed the opening. This brace has a light cloth liner that covers that opening, which prevents the velcro straps from cutting into my skin. Great move.

Pros: very comfortable, good support, green guard keeps velcro band from irritating skin.

Cons: With big hands, that green liner makes it a little snug to get over my hand, but still no problem.

Great brace!

Reviewed by: Erin

Injured my wrist (ulnar side) and needed a brace to limit rotation and ulnar lateral flexion. This brace is great-- light weight, relatively breathable and much lower profile than expected. I wasn't sure about the aqua color accents so I covered the logo with a black Sharpie and cut the aqua fabric out. :)
