Customer Review: Comfortable, but not quite perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
These splints are a decent solution for night-time numbness and wrist pain for people with carpal tunnel problems. These are definitely night-time splints only, since they immobilize not only the wrist, but also the fingers. As night splints, they are the only ones I have found currently on the market that do the job, since night splints must also keep the wrist from moving backwards. Ordinary day-time splints don't work at night (at least for me) because, while they keep your wrists from moving forwards, they let them flop backwards in your sleep, which causes numbness and pain. These splints have slits for your thumb on both sides; that is the slits are for thumbs only, not for fingers--don't sleep with your fingers out the slit opposite your thumb. The reason the thumb slots are on both sides is so that either splint can be used on either hand--you don't need separate right and left handed splints with these. Putting them on the first time by yourself can be challenging, since it is quite difficult to wrap them tight with just one hand. But after you have got the size right, you just pull them straight off your hands without unwrapping them, so you only need assistance that first time. (If you have trouble getting them off, you can get some leverage by sticking one thumb in the top of the thumb slit on the opposite splint and pulling with your thumb).
When I first tried on these splints, I was amazed at how soft and comfortable they were. The inner lining is exceptionally soft. But that didn't last. After about 3 months of daily use and ordinary laundering, the originally soft lining had become pilled. The wraps and Velcro, however, are still secure after a year of use and multiple washings.
What makes these splints less than ideal for me is the fact that they immobilize the fingers as well as the wrists. While this may be indicated for some patients, especially those recovering from surgery, I find that my fingers are always extremely stiff and painful in the mornings after using these splints. With my old splints, I could bend my fingers (but not my wrists) at night, and I never had stiffness or pain in my fingers after wearing them. Another disadvantage of having immobilized fingers as with these splints is that if you have to get up for any reason during the night, you have to take the splints off in order to do so much as push the covers away. Still, these are an effective solution for night-time carpal tunnel symptoms and would probably prove adequate and durable for many people.
