Uncomfortable and difficult to remove
I’m NOT a fan of the Exos splints/braces. The mechanism to tighten/loosen is cumbersome and frustrating. It is very tight so to remove with one hand (the opposite hand) is not easy. And tightening it often gets tangled. It smells horrible if you sweat in it... and washing it with soap still doesn’t remove the awful smell. And keep in mind if you wash it with soap and water, it will take 10-12 hours to air dry. If you dry with a hair dryer, it will get warm and lose shape and will need to be remolded. The fit is unfomfortable and often presses on tender wrist bones. I was given this splint after surgery for a broken wrist and have hated it the entire time. Planning to buy a different brace to wear for the last 3 weeks - as I cannot stand this one. Read more
