Product Description

Size: Universal

MODEL: 22-140100 Black WorkAbout¨ brand. CarpalMate® is a lightweight wrist support designed to maintain the wrist in a neutral position while allowing full finger dexterity. The molded portion of the support extends from the distal forearm to just past the wrist. The design prevents the wrist from dropping and prevents excess thumb and little finger opposition. Controlling these motions will prevent excess flexion of the wrist and finger flexor tendons thus avoiding overuse. Overuse can cause tendon inflammation which causes pressure on the Median Nerve and is the cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The support is held in place by a wide elastic strap that provides comfortable compressive support at the wrist. Color: Black CarpalMate® is ideal for activities that require repetitive stressful motions such as: ? Typing ? Data Entry ? Small Parts Assembly

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for serious computer users, February 26, 2007

This review is from: FlA Ortho CarpalMate Professional Carpal Wrist Support Black # 22-1401000 (Health and Beauty)

I'm at the computer for around 6-8 hours a day. This product was a huge improvement over what I used to use. The wrist wrap itself is wide and stable. It is a bit hard to take off because the velcro is so secure but the piece goes all the way to your palm for stability. Nonetheless it is very comfortable and keeps my wrist from going at an akward angle. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This fixed my wrist pain, August 12, 2010

I'm a software engineer, and I spend 90% of my time typing. I ordered this when my wrist pain was at its worst, due to my continual typing day in and day out. When the item came, it looked a little smaller than I expected, but it fit my wrist comfortably. This being small actually turned out to be an advantage; I could easily remove it when I'm not typing and stash it into my pocket until I need it again.

After about few weeks of use, my wrist pain subsided substantially. And I've been using this for almost a year now, and the pain is completely gone!

The only issue with this is that, after many days of use, it starts picking up bad oder. So you need to wash it well every now and then. I just throw it into my washing machine every now and then when it starts smelling bad. That seems to do the trick.

All in all, I'm very happy with this product.

I've been using this prodict for a few years now and it really makes a huge difference to my quality of sleep. No more waking at 3am with pains in my hand and wrist.
Its a very durable product and not at all cumbersome like some other styles.
It has helped me avoid surgical intervention and once I wear it every night the majority of the time I am symptom free
