Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Elastic Hand & Wrist Support. For anything specific to your own condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I choose the right size?
Choose the size by wrist circumference. The thumb opening should sit flat and the support should not pull between the thumb and index finger. Available sizes: S, M, L, XL. Measure around the wrist at the wrist crease with the tape level and comfortably close to the skin. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and adjust it?
It pulls on: there are no straps or fasteners. Draw it into position, then smooth out any folds so the fabric lies flat against the skin along its whole length. It should feel snug and evenly supported, never painful, and should not leave deep marks on the skin. Loosen or reposition it if it does.
Will it restrict my movement?
Provides light wrist and palm support while leaving all fingers free. It is designed for light support. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
Can I use it while typing or working?
Yes, if the fingers stay free and the support does not cut into the wrist. Loosen it if you notice numbness, tingling, or colour change in the fingers, and take it off periodically.
How is this different from the other wrist and hand supports?
The Elastic Hand & Wrist Support covers the base of the hand as well as the wrist. The Knitted Wrist Support (W02) sits on the wrist alone, and the Thumb Support Brace (W06) works on the thumb.
How do I wash and care for it?
Fasten all closures before washing. Follow the care label supplied with the product. Unless the label states otherwise, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and air dry flat away from direct heat. Do not bleach, wring, tumble dry, or iron.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
Select the correct size and do not use if the support rolls or creates a tight band. Remove it for pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, cold fingers, colour change, or skin irritation. Seek assessment for significant injury or persistent symptoms.
