FuturoDeluxe Wrist Stabilizer Right Hand, L/XL

Perfect , relived my carpal tunnel pain the first day. Well made and good alignment /support .

So many other companies try to 'improve' their products over time and each version is different. You'll know when Futuro changes it when they change the color. Fortunately this gray colored model is the same exact wrist immobilizer I've been ordering for more a decade or more. Because I love the design and have grow accustomed to it. The only thing they changed was the color of their label that went from silver/gray to yellow. Everything else is the same. Thank you!I use these wrist immobilizers to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, in which I'm quite prone to get while using a computer with a mouse. They work well with a smaller mouse such as the Logitech Anywhere2 or Logitech G9x laser. I wash them every so often, but eventually they will start to shred apart after years and years of use. You can cut off the shreds, but it gets worn all over and keeps shredding. These gray colored models are much better than the very old beige models of the past, but they're certainly not perfect. For the price and how long they last I have absolutely no complaints! :-)

If you are not sure if you have carpal tunnel, there are several good videos on youtube made by doctors, chiros, or physical therapists explaining symptoms and treatments. Do not assume you need surgery. Also, don't hope it just goes away either. Wear this at night and see if it improves. I have such bad pain in my left hand, on the back, from index and middle fingers down the back of my hand. Even though it felt awkward, I wore this brace while sleeping to keep from bending my hand into a harmful position. It was helping, so I started wearing it during the day also. I had to pad certain areas that were rubbing (on the top of my arm where the edge stitching is rubbing and wearing the skin off like a scratch). But I noticed that having it on kept me from doing things that caused pain and because of that it began to heal. Yes, it is awkward. No, you can't do a lot of things with it on. Maybe you shouldn't be doing those things anyway. Or you can take it off and put it back on. It is like a cast. I noticed that resting the hand and not holding my phone tightly in my left hand was helping. I had to limit cell phone use to rest the hand. It is not fun but the pain was very bad and this helped. The pain is not gone, but I live alone and cannot stop doing everything. But it makes me aware of what hurts and what not to do. I highly recommend this brace and don't wait until you are in pain like I did. Powering through and hoping it goes away is a bad idea. The youtube videos have stretching exercises and be sure to try those gently and work your way up to more stretches during the day. If this does not help you, go see a doctor. I have early symptoms in my right hand on top of bad pain in left. So I am wearing two braces at night now. One is easy, two is difficult unless you sleep on your back. They also velcro to my blanket sometimes, but I just deal with it because I have to get better. I was surprised that I have this but do use my phone for hours a day. I can use the computer instead with my right hand and a mouse to rest the left hand. I wonder how many other people have this and don't know. If you think you may have this, try a solution and put that phone down. Good luck. UPDATE: Five stars. I realized that my pain was from extensor tendonitis, which is why my the back of my hand hurt so much. I kept wearing this and resting the hand as much as possible. It took some time, but the pain and swelling improved a little bit each day. It hurt to straighten my fingers or to bend wrist upward or use the hand to grip just about anything. It just needed to be kept in a position where no bending was happening. It really works, it does not need to be super tight. I keep the top part loose so it doesn't dig into my arm. So with patience it is healing. I am able to remove the brace to do gentle finger movements each day and monitor progress. Definitely wear while sleeping. This has exceeded my expectations and I heartily recommend it. Just be sure to measure properly and get the correct size.

I have used right and left hand Futuro wrist stabilizers while sleeping for about a month and am very pleased. They are comfortable and stabilize my wrist motion very well. However, I still get nighttime finger tingling because the stabilizers don't control forearm rotation which also seems to irritate my nerve and contribute to my finger tingling. However, by minimizing my wrist movement the stabilizers help a lot. Although my finger tingling is not cured, it is much reduced. I would have given the stabilizers 5 stars but the design is not perfect. The central strap has a large velcro tab that attaches to an elastic band that wraps around my wrist. The support it provides around my wrist is good but pulling that velcro tab off when I want to remove the stabilizer is difficult because the attachment is very firm and pulling on it mainly stretches the elastic band. It is the same kind of problem as punching your way out of a paper bag. I solved the problem by attaching a small piece of velcro loop (rather than hook) to the tab that masks the tab's hook surface and reduces it's size by about 50%. This makes it easier to pull off and if in the future the attachment becomes too loose, I can increase the hook surface area by reducing the masked area. I highly recommend these wrist stabilizers but be careful to not make them too tight, which can cause more harm than good.

All good

This is the only brand to buy for carpal tunnel. I have tried the other less expensive ones but I keep taking them off during the night until I cannot find them anymore. Then I go back to my Futuro that is 23 years old until I get the new ones. They stay on without being tight, the support is just right for both wrists.

My wrists often have pain after I've done too much digital art or played video games for too long. Using this wrist support is a huge help in preventing pain and providing support. They are very easy to put on and take off as well. Highly recommend if you have wrist pain!!

Second one I bought. I liked the first one very much but I needed a new one because of wear. I bought this one and like it better than the old one . They improved this by making it less bulky and more comfortable. I wear it only at night and it works very well in staving off the numbness and pain of my carpal tunnel. I highly recommend this.
