Exact Duplicate of Orthopedist-supplied Brace
I still had the box from the worn brace my orthopedist prescribed so I knew the brand name, model number, and size that worked for my wrist pain. Imagine my surprise to find the Ossur Formfit Wrist Brace available here without a prescription and at a fraction of the price! I could skip the annoying insurance pre-approval process for durable medical equipment and pay far less than my co-pay for a replacement! This brace is easy to adjust with velcro closures. It is not meant to be tight; in fact, I was warned by the technician who fitted my original brace to take care not to overtighten it. It is meant to hold one's wrist at the proper angle to eliminate wrist pain and tingling in the fingers. Once I fitted it properly, I could easily sleep through the night in it for less discomfort the following day. I was told not to wear it during the day. The brace cleans up easily with mild liquid detergent and air dries quickly. But if not worn for daytime activities, it requires very few cleanings. My original brace eventually wore through the fabric covering at the edges of the supports but it lasted about 3 years so it is a very durable piece of non-invasive equipment. It's an inexpensive solution for those suffering from wrist and finger discomfort but not ready for surgical intervention. Read more
