The media could not be loaded. I sprained my wrist a week before an endurance cycling event I was signed up for. I wanted to at least try to still do my event and a doctor specifically recommended a wrist wrap made of neoprene as it would provide a lot of support. This is the wrap I purchased. It definitely provided a lot of support and the adjustable compression seemed to help with swelling & pain as well. Thanks to this wrap I was able to participate in my cycling event even with my injury. I continued wearing it for several weeks; it held up very well and was easy to wash. Read more
After some use the velcro no longer sticks and the thumb strap starts to fray....but it takes quite a long time for that to happen. Certainly supports the wrist and is comfortable. Read more
This wrist wrap really works so well for me (RSI & arthritis), and yet it is very simple. But in the simplicity, it can be made to cover more area (it is a nice wide 3-3/4" the whole length of it and generously 3/16" thick). You are able to wrap it where your wrists and hands need it most (works for right or left hands), unlike some other more sophisticated and purpose built wrist supports. Besides this, it is so very comfortable to wear (no sewn seams), and feels great on your hand (very thick and cushiony). You decide how much tension to apply and how to wrap it (starting under wrist, or over wrist)-what could be better?! Thank you Futuro, and thank you Amazon for this wonderful product-never change it, and keep it in stock please! I bought 2, and will be back for more no doubt in the future. Downsides? Yes, a few-it will need to be washed regularly, and it does develop pills from the velcro attaching and detaching-but they can be shaved off to some extent if need be. It attracts pet hair, and the thumb wrap wears out first, but all in all, a great product that really brings relief to the wearer-bottom line at a pretty cheap price. Read more
I use wrist braces when I need to relieve carpal tunnel pain. For full support, I use braces with a hard plastic "spoon" inside (like Mueller's excellent "green" braces). But when I need to be able to move my wrist a bit and the full support isn't quite right, I use these softer wraparound elastic braces. After trying several, I've found that these Futuro braces are the best for a reasonable price. They're a bit thicker than the other products, and provide a nice bit of cushioned support while limiting wrist flexing just the right amount. I use them at my desk, when using an elliptical machine, when cooking, and keep a couple in the car for support during long drives. They're cheap enough that buying several pairs doesn't break the bank. Read more
This gives a little wrist support but is not as well made or as substantial as the similar Ace product, but close. Since the thumb attachment is no integrated into the wrist portion, it probably won't be very durable. It is better quality and has more support than the Braaco product, so it appears that you get what you pay for. Read more
My husband works using his hands and wrists 8 hours a day. When his wrists started hurting, we priced different wrist supports and Futuro seemed good. It was less than half the price of similar products at the local pharmacy so I was a bit concerned about how well it would work and how well it would hold up. This wrist support fits well (it's adjustable) and it has given him the support he needs so he can stop taking ibuprofen every time he comes home from work. I certainly recommend this Futuro wrist support. Read more
Not very supportive, no where close to being able to get tight enough Read more
I can get some pain in my wrist(carpal tunnel) from too much time at the pc, especially when using traditional mice vs ergonomic mice as well I'm sure standard keyboards. I got this because I was having some pretty bad basal thumb joint pain and thought a wrist support might help and didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that might not work and/or be used for long. For my situation it helped a bit, it couldn't deliver the pressure to where I would have liked in a focused point but it wasn't designed to do so. For the price it was well worth it and I like having it should the painful sensation return. I'm pretty much over the incident that brought on the bad pain but not completely so I'm still using it occasionally at the computer and consider it a worthy purchase. I don't feel the thumb loop will last over months/years but that isn't a huge deal as I could sew on something else or repair it if needed. I'd be more concerned about whether the velcro will continue to work over time. It hasn't shown wear like some really cheap hook/loop fasteners do but I've only used it for about a week. Read more
