Perfect fitPerfect fit 5Excellent support, but needs a middle sizeThis 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"! 4Work well but not durable.I've been using the Futuro Deluxe Wrist Stabilizer (both left & right hands) for 9 months. They have helped reduce the strain in my wrists and hands which is due to typing all day. The problem I'm having with them is that the Velcro which is used on the three straps is nearly worn out. The straps no longer want to grip and they often pop loose during normal use. Very soon they will be completely unusable. This may be a normal problem with all Velcro based straps; I don't know. These are my first wrist braces which use Velcro. 4Great wrist brace if you need oneI have to wear a wrist brace all the time, but especially when working on the computer. I broke my wrist 15 yrs ago and it has bothered me ever since with a carpal-tunnel-like situation and symptoms. This brace gives me relief, simple as that. I've tried different brands of braces, but these last the longest and are most comfortable. Whether or not it's right for you will depend where you need the support - I am not a doctor so don't ask me about that. I've also tried something similar with the "Ace" brand - but those started stinking after a short time (yes, stinking - a little sweat made them stink). This brand doesn't have that problem. Other brands also look more gay - little "shortie" things like you're wearing a Michael Jackson glove. Not the Futuro. They look cool and might even get you some sympathy from the chicks... "ooooh what did you do to your wrist...." So in closing - they don't stink, they're pretty comfortable, they last, they're chick-magnets, and they do the job (for me). Go for it. 5Not the beige older model, but gray new versionNot the beige older model as pictured in the product information. Be cautious. Futuro makes great wrist stabilizers, but this may not be the product you are intending to purchase. 1It Really Does HelpUsing to help my carpel tunnel. It seems to help. It certainly gives the wrist the support it needs. Good aid. 5It Works GreatSerious brace for stabilizing wrist. 5Support your wristI am a computer geek and digital artist. I started experiencing the onset of CTS after ten years of computer work, finally caught up with me even though I spent time and money on good ergo equipment. Turns out it was the arms of my chair, now removed, that lead to the dmg. This purchase was a necessity and here is what I think of the product:It helps. I'm still a bit sore after my first couple days with this brace and one other that turned out to be to small. It keeps my wrist from bending in extreme computer sitting positions with my mouse hand and I wear it when I sleep with no issues. So in that area, it is worth it.It has good ventilation. It can get hot here in cali and I have not had problems yet with sweating or to much heat. Seems to breath nicely.The strap on both ends is a nice working velcro strap of soft cloth, just what it should be and it works. The strap in the middle is one of those stretchy bands a nurse would wrap your tennis elbow in with velcro on the end of it. The stretchy part is nice in that you can set the desired tightness of the overall portion of the brace, the part that sucks completely is that the velcro adheres to this material so well that your slowly shredding away the fibers of the stretchy band thingy. Now I'm not exactly a small guy, and I have problems tearing this blasted thing away from itself every time I try and take it off. I would like to see an old woman try to remove this band, I'm pretty sure she would hurt more parts of her body then the part she was trying to heal. So to you older ladies, gents, and toothpick arms beware. You can get a small workout from this elastic band and velcro if you wear and take off this brace all day long.On a side note, you can wear this brace to tight and to loose as any other. It will also cause Decubitus sores if you wear it to long, this goes without saying though as sleeping on a wrinkled pillow can do the same thing. 3Used? / Someone s returned itemI can t really accurately review this product. It came in and looks like it was used. It appears that there was tape on the box to seal it that is gone. The box is bent up and there was lint on the Velcro. And they said it was back ordered until October 13 but then all the sudden they said we can get it to you sooner. So I m thinking they gave us a return. I will see if my husband wants to order a brand new one and then do a proper review. 3Help for carpal tunnel and tendonitisI purchased this brace because my doctor specifically recommended it. I was diagnosed with possible carpal tunnel, and possible tendonitis.I sized the brace using the measurements on the back of the box, and it fits great.Sometimes the brace pinches a bit at the base of my thumb, which is uncomfortable, but I just loosen it for a while and it's fine.All in all, though, my wrist feels supported and the pain disappears while I'm wearing it. 4
