Customer Reviews of Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace w/ Splint
Customer Review: Adds to my pain...
Summary: 2 Stars
Overall, I was fairly disappointed with this item. I have been using ACE Tek Zone wrist wraps for a couple of years. The Velcro is about worn out, so I thought I'd try something new. I alternate these with some Mueller Compression gloves which provide pain relief but no wrist support. In need of new support, I thought I'd try these Mueller wrist braces...
In my opinion, the Mueller brace has the following limitations when compared to the ACE I have been using:
- Firm plastic used in the straps. The plastic used on the straps feels ridged, sharp, somewhat noisy. I have read that people may sleep with these types of gloves for relief. I would never consider it with these plastic noisy straps and their sharp edges.
- Less wrist immobilizing. The Mueller does immobilize the wrist reasonably, but it does leave a lot more "play" than the ACE I use.
- Feels awkward with the unused thumb hoops (it is universal for left/right hands - but that means an unused hoop given its design). This unused loop provides a loose feeling on the pinky side of the hand. I suppose you could argue it adds some freedom - but the unused fabric is out of place. Note that I use a Mueller compression glove that is also universal - but it doesn't add an extra thumb hoop (of course, it doesn't have a metal brace to deal with either). If this is the only way to deal with a universal glove that has a brace, no thanks.
It also has an additional problem that doesn't directly compare to the ace brace. The Mueller has a wrap around strap (also on their compression glove where it actually seems to add to the effectiveness of the product). On the wrist brace, the strap applies uncomfortable pressure on the wrist bone where the Ulna connects. It seems to do this by pressing the other hard plastic straps down. It might simply be the dimension of my wrist that aligns that particular bone with the strap, though I am of average build and dimensions. In any case, if I adjust the brace to have enough pressure to immobilize the wrist, it quickly becomes uncomfortable and causes a new kind of pain after a couple of hours.
My search for a better brace continues...
