Excellent support, but needs a middle size March 28, 2008
This is an excellent stabilizing brace -- but sizing can be an issue.

My husband nearly broke his wrist; fortunately it was "only" a serious sprain. He was told to wear a brace for 2-3 weeks, so off we trotted to the store to find one.

A few years ago, he'd had a bad bout with carpal tunnel, and was very pleased with the right-handed version of the Futuro model. Alas, the store didn't have a left-handed model, so he bought another brand. It wasn't two days before I scurried to Amazon to buy this replacement. (The other one was made largely of plastic, with open spaces and a total lack of support around his wrist, where he needed it. It also got stinky in a hurry. But they cost about the same; go figure.)

This one works well because it supports the entire wrist, not just a couple of spots. It doesn't chafe, either, despite the 12 hours a day he spent at the keyboard. ("My client has a deadline, honey!" ) And, based on the wear he gave the one for the other wrist, a few years back, it holds up. Hopefully you won't need to wear this for long, but it's good to know it won't fall apart.

The only problem is that he is definitely a "medium" and the small/medium is just a tiny bit too small, and the company's guidelines aren't very helpful. If you're close to the numbers they have for "medium," order the next size up! I wish they made a true "medium"!

Carpal Tunnel wrist braces July 20, 2007
These are by far the most comfortable wrist stableizers on the market. Anyone with wrist [roblems should try them.

Excellent for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! September 15, 2006

When I became pregnant over 8 years ago, I developed CTS which is quite common. My OB-GYN told me that it would go away once I gave birth.

Well, it didn't.

I've been suffering from pain, pins/needles, and numbness for years. The ergonomic keyboard is a godsend, but activities that involve holding or grasping (eating, curling my hair, putting on make up) cause a great amount of discomfort.

My chiropractor thought he could help me, and I also scheduled an appointment at my GP's. A gentlemen did both Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyographies on me, and it was discovered that I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right hand. Surprisingly, a lot of my tingling and pain had to do with tendonitis and 'tennis elbow'! Fortunately, chiropractic massage and the TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) have helped my condition *immensely*.

It was recommended that I use a wrist stabilizer when I slept, regardless of the fact that the condition didn't wake me up at night.

I tried several brands at the pharmacy, and the Futuro Deluxe was the BEST. I've been using it for several weeks now, and it's very easy to get on and off. I can definitely see a difference when I get up in the morning! One night, I forgot to put the stabilizer on, and I could feel a difference!

I also use this produce when I'm relaxing around the house, such as when I'm watching TV or DVDs.

There are three different velcroed areas to adjust for comfort, as well as a comfy padded area for below the fingers. Futuro Deluxe Wrist Stabilizer is designed for CTS, so if you suffer from this condition, this is the best product I've seen so far.

Now, ordering this product online may be a bit tricky in terms of sizing. For example, my hands are quite small (some children have larger hands than I do!), and my forearms are small boned, too. However, when trying on the stabilizers at the pharmacy, I was VERY surprised to discover that the Large-X Large fit the best! I would have never guessed this sight unseen.

These braces go half-way up the forearm, so they hold enough of the arm in a straight line to limit wrist motion. The fingers are free, making typing easy, but writing with a pen is more difficult. The Small-Medium size was still too big for me, so I sewed the top strap to shorten it.
