Vive Wrist Brace - Carpal Tunnel Hand Compression Support Wrap for Men, Women, Tendinitis, Bowling, Sports Injuries Pain Relief - Removable Splint - Universal Ergonomic Fit (Black, Left)

I purchased the left wrist brace although the description states right wrist. It does a wonderful job of immobilizing the wrist joint while still leaving the fingers free to move. Easy to get on - has one larger velcro strap that encompasses the wrist and another, shorter, velcro strap that winds around between the thumb and forefinger. The fit is customizable, however, I find that the thumb strap 'bites' a little when the velcro rubs on the thumb. Pulling it tighter to get the velcro past that point sometimes makes the brace a little too tight. You sweat a little bit under the brace because it is neoprene. I just remove it periodically during the day to let things dry out. Otherwise, this is a very comfortable brace to wear. I lost the use of my hand in a car accident and my doctor wanted me to wear a support that kept my hand from dropping. It does a great job of supporting that joint.

REVIEWWhen I got the Wrist Brace from VIVE I was surprised. It's very nice quality. Soft and not so rigid that it hurts to wear it. Black on the outside and gray inside. Your wrist is held stable by two hooks and loop closures. One loop is by the hand and the larger one is by the wrist. You can still do your usual daily things. If you type and use a mouse, there should be no problem. The really nice thing about the brace is when it gets dirty or sweaty, you can wash it. I have seen a lot of braces that can't be washed. If you suffer from a sports injury, carpal tunnel or just a weak wrist, this wrist brace should be tried. It has helped me in my typing since I type so much and by the end of the day my wrist would normally hurt. Now, it doesn't hurt as bad. It's also good for arthritis. I have done several products for VIVE and they are very easy to work with.I received a complimentary sample of this product, VIVE WRIST BRACE for my view of the product.

I have been working as a batista and eventually got a minor case of tendonitis. I bought this product and was very happy with it. I can put it on with a nice snug fit and it supports my hand and wrist well. After a few days my wrist feels mUchiha better.I only have two minor cons to this product1) there was a strong chemical smell when I took it out of the packaging, the first time I wore it the smell stayed on my hand after I took it off. The more I use it the less smell there is. I've also sprayed it with an odor removing spray and that worked well.2) the end of the velcro strap (where the velcro meets the material) has a but of an edge to it which results in rubbing against my thumb. A bit of a bother but liveable.

I’ve been having carpal tunnel pain up through my arm into my shoulder. I was looking for a brace to rest my wrist that was more sleek with fewer tabs to hang up on clothing and such and not be so bulky; yet still had the rigidity to do the job. I’m a female and didn’t want a transformer arm. This brace is perfect! It’s comfortable, lightweight, has a more sleek fit and has ample support with the metal slat running through the palm. The price was just the cherry on top. I’m very pleased with this purchase. I would say that if you have Sasquatch paws, say you’re a very large man, the thumb hole may be small, however it is a very soft flexible fit so still worth a try. For most on each extreme, I’d say this will provide a comfortable fit.

To prevent further wrist pain caring for my baby, I went on a hunt to find a brace/splint for my wrist and thumb. Currently I have minimal-moderate pain and am trying to take preventative measures. These are the ones I tried:Vive Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace- Though it felt comfortable and provided maximal support, my hand began to get hot then itchy within 5-10 minutes of wearing it and just doing some light typing and chores. I returned this item.Rip Toned wrist brace- It's advertised to be used for weightlifting and bodyweight training and I think it's probably best for just that. I wanted to see if I could use it as a wrist brace while doing things around the house and lifting/holding the baby, but I didn't like the thumb loop which sometimes felt like it pulled my thumb back which I think would make texting/mommy thumb worse, but if wearing without the thumb loop, the wrist support would slide down around and not stay around the wrist. I returned this item.Wal-Mart and CVS sold several different types of wrist and/or thumb braces and I was able to try it on in store. I have only worn them a few days, but this is my review of them.FUTURO Performance Comfort Wrist Support, Adjustable- This was my favorite as a minimal-moderate support. Lightweight and not hot nor itchy for general use around the house and to wear while caring for my baby as there were no hard parts and only 1 velcro piece which didn't get stuck to anything.FUTURO™ Compression Stabilizing Wrist Brace- This one was also comfortable, but provided more support than the Performance Comfort as it has a rigid support. however, it's more expensive and a bit more inhibiting but I'm keeping it for now in case I need more wrist support when baby gets heavier.Mueller Thumb Stabilizer- This provides support in thumb and wrist which is nice, but since it has 3 velcro straps, it takes a little longer to take on/off when i want to wash my hands and some of the velcro would get stuck to baby's swaddle or bib. I was able to still pick up and hold baby with the thumb stabilizer, but I found that I would mistype on the keyboard or I would make compensations by lifting my arm up slightly to avoid hitting other keys.
