FEATOL Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace | Night Sleep Support Brace, Removable Metal Wrist Splint- Hot/Ice Pack, Left Hand, Medium/Large, Adjustable Hand Brace for Men, Women, Relieve and Treat Wrist Pain

CONTEXT: Over the last 6 months both my wrists and forearms, but especially the left, were going numb/asleep during the night which would interrupt my sleep and persist into the morning. After a little online research, it seemed the most likely cause was pressure on the nerves in my wrists during sleep, and one of the treatments was a wrist brace.RESULTS: I've had them now for several weeks and, while I only wear them to bed, I've seen a major improvement. I sleep better and I don't have the alarming tingling sensations in my wrists and fingers that I was experiencing before. I have also observed the return of those symptoms when I sleep without the wrist braces, so I'm confident they are effectual.Experience and ADVICE: Wearing these takes just a little getting used to, but they are not uncomfortable or disruptive to sleep. It is best to be done handling things once wearing them as they interfere with your palm. If you overtighten them, you will quickly make your hands purple and put them asleep, so I recommend flexing your wrist up or down when putting it on, in order to slightly enlarge the circumference that the straps encircle before setting them.

I have suffered with carpal tunnel for many years and have used various braces and splints over the course of 20+ years. This brace is padded very well and the way the middle strap is designed to wrap around twice for much needed support to keep your wrist from bending or twisting. The leather tabs on the end of the velcro straps make for longer lasting durability as this is a stress point and usually the first place that frays. The gel pack included is an added feature that adds another layer of protection once it is no longer cold.Overall I would highly recommend this wrist brace to anyone having wrist problems.

DO NOT BUY ANY OTHER BRACE!I've had carpel tunnel for a very long time and it progressively got worse. It was so horrible that I'd wake up crying. I got this brace before my surgery and I LOVE IT! It took away the pain and although I have extreme sensory issues, it was so comfortable and I was able to wear it all night. It has an amazing option for an ice pack which I used after my surgery. It's hard to find good quality braces but this is so worth the money! Great price! I will recommend this product to my friends who suffer with carpel tunnel syndrome.

I have carpal tunnel in both wrists. I researched wrist braces on-line and decided to purchase the FeatolHealth braces, both Left and Right hands. Amazon screwed up the order twice delivering two Right hand braces. At this point I should add that the braces are more than I expected from a quality, materials used, stitching, plentiful strap lengths and Velcro attachment tabs, and looks. Getting back to the Amazon delivery problems…I gave up on Amazon when they told me I had to cancel my order andreorder. I reached out to FeatolHealth Customer Service and they took immediate action to provide me with a Left hand brace. Absolutely the best customer service I have ever experienced on-line. Highly recommend FeatolHealth as a company to deal with and a really great product value.

DISCLAIMER: Any suggestions or statements are from my own personal experience, or my memory of what my doctor has said. Do not use it to make medical decisions without agreement by your own physician. I assume no responsibility for your use of this device or any part of my experience with or without approval of your own physician.After I was able to fasten the sleeve in a way that worked for me, it has become tremendously helpful. I have been going through a phase I guess where I must be gripping my fist at night, with the result in the morning, my fingers or even arm may tingle sharply when I stretch it out. The tingling or discomfort is partially like a carpel-tunnel effect. My physician believed I was also suffering from a pinched nerve in my the back of my neck. Gradually the problems have been going away, and as I write this review today, I have none of it.Notes about the product packaging: directions are scant, and tiny. Four small pictures illustrate the recommended sequence for fastening the three straps. A little larger on the box, but not necessarily obvious. I read the box as illustrating, where if numbered 1-2-3 (from top to bottom with my arm towards the ceiling), a sequence of 2-3-1. Personally, the best sequence I found over time was to fasten them in a 3-2-1 sequence. Note the first of 4 pictures illustrates inserting a heat-or-cool pack (included). I haven't used one, but I noted that the printed directions warned against using the heat or cold for any extended period of time. For me, it has worked best to fasten the sleeve just before going to bed, on in the middle of the night if I wake up with that unwanted tingling.Personal discovery: The best fastening for me has been to avoid a tight-snug fastening - that restricts the spread of my fingers. I want the device snug around my arm (without restricting blood flow), but not to trap my fingers on the sides. My doctor said for carpel tunnel (see Disclaimer!) the important thing is to keep the fingers from curling - the ridge of the device will help with that. It's taken some experimentation to get it right -- too far up is as unhelpful as too low. (A) The device comes in several sizes - get the measurements and sizing matched for you. (B) The best position for me has my thumb not restricted by any edge of the thumbhole.Personal caveats: I made other changes to my environment, of which I believe this sleeve played an important role. But to be fair I should say I replaced the 4"foundation and frame with 4" legs that came box-spring that came with my mattress of long ago for a new spring-like-foundation with its own legs raised about a foot from the floor. That replacement has been instrumental to improving my overall-body-support at night. Old as it is, surprised as I am, I plan to keep the mattress (now in its 13th year) because I am sleeping well for the first time since we got the bed (after having tried, earlier, two other mattresses).In an earlier model of this sleeve, I noticed some reviews complaining about the Velcro fasteners over time losing their adhesion. I've had this 2-3 months, and notice a lesser "instant-glue" effect, but have had no trouble getting a secure fastening. After removal, I try to loosely rewrap each strap so that none tangle with each other or something nearby.Any decisions you make from this review: See Disclaimer, i.e., YMMV. :)

I've had this brace for awhile now and use it every night while I sleep and sometimes during the day as well. I LOVE that it came with a perfectly sized ice pack and that the metal brace is removable. The strap velcro is very strong and the straps allow for loose support, tight support, and everything in between. I actually couldn't find a left hand option, posted a question to the seller, and received a quick and very helpful response - along with a coupon! This brace has helped my carpal tunnel tremendously!

I really liked the fast turnaround delivery time! The product is of good quality.

Super comfy but a bit hot to sleep in in summer. Use it for repetitive stress. Doesn't pinch anywhere and fits my big forearm.
