The medi protect Carpal Tunnel Support is purpose-built for carpal tunnel syndrome — not a generic wrist wrap adapted for the condition. Its anatomical palmer stay places the wrist in the optimal neutral position for median nerve decompression, and the Tempaprene construction adds therapeutic warmth that stimulates circulation and supports tissue recovery. The stay can be shaped as needed for long-term wearing comfort, and the adjustable compression strap allows precise tension control for individualized fit.

The wrap-around application design specifically addresses one of the most common compliance failures with wrist splints — difficulty putting the brace on and taking it off, particularly with one hand. The design is easy to apply independently, which matters significantly for patients who need to don and doff the brace multiple times daily. Full finger use is maintained, allowing the brace to be worn during daily activities as well as during sleep.

The low-profile design fits discretely under work clothes, making daytime wear practical for patients who need support during repetitive work tasks as well as during sleep. Available in left and right hand configurations in six sizes — sized from wrist circumference measurement.

Right for: Carpal tunnel syndrome — both nighttime wear to prevent median nerve compression during sleep and daytime wear during provocative activities. Also indicated for minor wrist sprains and strains, wrist tendonitis, wrist arthritis, and chronically weak wrists. May help prevent progression of carpal tunnel syndrome and reduce the need for surgical intervention when used consistently.

Not right for: Conditions requiring thumb immobilization — see the Universal Wrist Thumb Brace for De Quervain's and thumb-related conditions.

The medi protect Universal Wrist Thumb Brace provides simultaneous stabilization of both the wrist and thumb — addressing the conditions that require both joints to be supported at the same time. The aluminum stay component provides structural wrist positioning while the thumb extension restricts the thumb CMC and MCP motion that aggravates De Quervain's and other thumb-related tendon conditions.

The breathable nylon/elastane/aluminum construction is lighter and more breathable than neoprene-based thumb spica designs — a meaningful advantage for patients in warmer climates or those requiring extended daily wear. The moderate support level makes it appropriate for the range of wrist-thumb conditions including De Quervain's tenosynovitis, thumb instability, wrist sprains with thumb involvement, arthritis at the wrist and base of thumb, and post-casting rehabilitation.

Right for: De Quervain's tenosynovitis, thumb CMC arthritis (basal joint arthritis), thumb instability, combined wrist and thumb sprains, post-casting rehabilitation requiring both wrist and thumb support. Any condition where a standard wrist brace without thumb support has been insufficient.

The Actimove Wrist Splint with Abducted Thumb uses a formed composite stay that provides more structured wrist and thumb positioning than a fabric-only design — appropriate for conditions requiring firmer immobilization of the wrist-thumb complex. The abducted thumb component positions the thumb away from the palm in a functional resting position that reduces tension on the thumb tendons and surrounding structures.

The neoprene-free breathable material is a significant advantage for patients in Southwest Florida's warm climate — providing compression and support without the heat retention of neoprene designs. The anatomically shaped composite stay is pre-formed for most hand geometries and conforms to the wrist and thumb for a comfortable fit without pressure points. The low-profile design fits under clothing, allowing discreet daytime wear.

Right for: De Quervain's tenosynovitis requiring firmer immobilization, thumb CMC arthritis, post-surgical thumb and wrist recovery where a more structured support is needed, patients who find neoprene-based thumb spica designs too warm for consistent wear.

The medi Manumed Active is the most clinically complete wrist support in the medi range — combining three therapeutic elements that lesser products address separately: an anatomically pre-shaped volar splint that stabilizes and reduces stress on the wrist, an inelastic compression strap that improves immobilization when needed, and Clima Comfort breathable moisture-wicking fabric with special comfort zones knitted to prevent constriction and pressure areas.

The volar splint is the centerpiece — anatomically pre-shaped for most wrist geometries and heat-moldable if a more precise fit is required for individual anatomy. The splint reduces the extreme flexion and extension movements that most aggravate wrist tendonitis and arthritis, while maintaining the functional mid-range motion needed for daily tasks. The Clima Comfort fabric brings medi's German medical manufacturing quality to fabric performance — breathable, moisture-wicking, and durable for extended daily wear without the heat retention that discourages consistent use.

Indicated for wrist tendon inflammations including tendonitis and De Quervain's in the earlier phases, painful wrist arthrosis and arthritis, instability feelings in the wrist, wrist sprains and strains, and post-operative recovery during the functional phase. The combination of compression and structural support makes it appropriate across a wide range of wrist conditions.

Right for: Wrist tendonitis from repetitive activity, rheumatic and arthritic wrist conditions, mild to moderate instability, wrist sprains in the subacute healing phase, patients who need functional hand use maintained while the wrist is supported, and anyone who has found a compression-only sleeve insufficient for their level of wrist pain.

The Rolyan Hanz WHFO is a clinical-grade wrist, hand, and finger orthosis designed for the most complex hand positioning needs — conditions where standard wrist braces provide inadequate support or where the entire hand complex requires positioning for healing or neurological management. Its pivoting thumb abductor with medial and lateral thumb supports addresses the full range of thumb positioning needs, including the most difficult adduction contractures that standard thumb spica designs cannot adequately manage.

The forearm trough, wrist, and hand pan are all moldable — providing a genuinely custom fit to individual hand and forearm anatomy without requiring a heat gun or specialized tools. This progressive static positioning capability allows the orthosis to be adjusted incrementally as the patient's range of motion changes over the course of treatment — a critical feature for contracture management and post-stroke rehabilitation where positioning goals evolve over time.

The color-coded hook and loop strapping system is specifically designed to support correct application by the patient or a caregiver without specialized training — reducing application errors that compromise positioning effectiveness. The soft padded diagonal straps protect the skin during extended wear. The one-piece liner is launderable, and finger separators are included for optimal digit positioning. Suggested HCPCS code L3807 for insurance documentation.

Right for: Post-stroke hand weakness, wrist drop from radial nerve injury or compression, wrist and hand contracture management, post-surgical hand positioning after complex wrist or hand procedures, flaccid hand positioning, and any neurological or orthopedic condition requiring precise positioning of the wrist, hand, and fingers simultaneously. This product should be fitted with professional guidance — call us to discuss your specific clinical situation.

Important: The Rolyan Hanz WHFO is a clinical orthosis that benefits significantly from professional fitting. If you are purchasing for a stroke patient, post-surgical hand, or a neurological condition, we strongly recommend calling us or visiting one of our Southwest Florida locations so we can assist with the fitting process.
