Customer Reviews of OTC Lightweight Breathable Wrist/Thumb Splint, Right, Medium
Customer Review: great for De Quervain's tenosynovitis
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been using several over-the-counter splint that I bought at a local pharmacy to try to help with my De Quervain's tenosynovitis. They helped a little, but I was still having quite a bit of pain. This was the last unsuccessful splint I bought:(Futuro Thumb Stabilizer Small Med -- 1 Support I went to my doctor and he gave me this splint - it was made by another manufacturer in Mexico (this one is made in China) - but the two splints are identical except for the sizing - and the splint my doctor gave me said it was available by prescription only - but this is the same same splint but by a different manufacturer. This splint has made my pain decrease to just about zero. I am a nurse so I can't wear this splint at work - by the end of my shift my wrist and thumb are painful again, but within an hour or two after putting this splint back on the pain is gone. Yes, as another reviewer said, it is big and bulky, and not too lightweight - but it is more lightweight than other splints designed for this problem according to my doctor. This is the best splint I have tried. Wearing a splint is much better than surgery. The doctor seems to think that after a couple of months I should be able to stop wearing this splint all together. The doctor also gave me a Modabber thumb splint Modabber Thumb Orthosis Size Standard Wrist Cir. 5"- 9-1/2" Thumb Orthosis - Model 55987902 which does not offer as much support, but it is good for things requiring more mobility, like typing on a keyboard. The Modabber splint does not provide enough support for all the time usage, but it is a lot more lightweight, and when it is too hot, I tend to wear that one.
The splint I got from my doctor was a size medium. My wrist is 6 and 9/16 inches in circumference so I bought a medium splint from Amazon as well. (remember the splint I got from doctor was a different manufacturer) This splint from this manufacturer runs a bit large and the medium is a little too big for me. (I wear ladies large gloves, men's medium gloves, and size 7 surgical/sterile gloves) If you look at the picture, the splint should come below the thumb joint so you can move the upper thumb joint. This splint, in medium, is too big so I cannot move my thumb joint. As a result I wear this one at night when sleeping and the one my doctor gave me during the day. (you should wear a splint at night when sleeping if you have De Quervain's tenosynovitis) Just keep the larger sizing in mind when you order it. It still amazes me that my splint from one manufacturer says available by prescription only and from another manufacturer it is available over the counter.
