How can a wrist brace help me?
- Keeps wrists safe, warm and comfortable.
- Encourages more restful sleep by reducing pain and numbness and preventing excessive bending.
- Reduces pressure and increases space in the carpal canal, reducing pain and inflammation.
- Supports faster healing.
What is the difference between a wrist brace and a wrist splint?
There is little difference. Wrist braces and wrist splints serve the same essential purpose, which is to give wrists support in movement and non-movement while alleviating pain.
Why this wrist brace?
After trying many different wrist braces, wrist splints and wrist supports, we endorse the Sammons
Preston wrist brace because:
- Multiple Velcro adjustments allow for a personalized fit.
- Durable, breathable and washable materials make it comfortable to wear.
- Fine craftsmanship means a one-time purchase.
- One-handed application makes it easy to put on.
- Coach Cathy’s occupational therapist highly recommends this wrist splint over dozens of others.
Which size is best for me?
This wrist brace is available in five sizes in right-hand or left-hand models. Follow these 2 steps for a perfect fit.
Step One: Measure your wrist. Use a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your wrist. Or use a string to find the distance around your wrist and then measure the string. (Note: Measure both wrists if you want braces for each. They may be different sizes.)
Step Two: Select a brace size for each hand.
Wrist Brace Sizing:
- Extra-small 4″ – 5″
- Small 5″ – 6″
- Medium 6″ – 7″
- Large 7″ – 8″
- Extra-large 8” – 9”
How do I clean my wrist brace?
It’s easy! (Remember to always remove the two metal bars before cleaning.)
- Machine wash in a laundry bag OR hand wash.
- Hang to dry.
