Summary: 5 Stars
Before judging this product by other reviewers, please keep in mind that every wrist injury is different and will have different results. I usually don't do a follow up review, but this device has had such a major impact on my life.
>>>>>OLD REVIEW<<<<<<
The concept is simple. Produce pressure in painful area to relieve pain and stabilize the area. It's stems from the instinctual urge to hold whatever is injured. Although cheap bandages will alleviate pain, they themselves cause their own problems: reduced blood flow and range of motion. Talk to any doctor and they will tell you that's what not to do.
I was a little skeptical at first to be honest. The wrist widget seemed a little pricey for me (back when it was $50), and really didn't understand the whole concept. This is not an elastic band! It has two separate straps of which you can increase or decrease pressure as desired. It is much more comfortable than those cheap sport braces. Plus, with the minimal surface area, loss of blood flow is kept to a minimum, even with greatest of pressures.
During my wrist evaluation I was only able to push down 52 LBS without feeling pain in the ulnar part of my wrist. This stems from an old wrist injury (slip) while I was active duty using the perfect push-up too fast. The VA hospital kept lying to me and saying it was carpal tunnel/tendinitis, and it wasn't until I spoke with Wendy (the inventor and hand/wrist specialist) that I had any hope at all.
I WENT FROM FEELING PAIN PUSHING DOWN 52 LBS TO NO PAIN AT 85 LBS! In response to the person that claimed this item was cheap. I had a chance to examine both the old and new model tangibly, and although the new design is slightly better, it is still just a wrist brace. The same quality that you would find with the most expensive wrist brace on the market (like futuro a very good brand). Like anything Velcro, I'm sure this will have a limited shelf life.
<<<<<<OVER ONE YEAR LATER>>>>>>
Alright, well here I am still stuck with VA insurance, and am hoping I can get this wrist taken care of once and for all soon. Paid full price for an MRI, and although it shows fluid build-up in my ulnar wrist area, no visible broken cartilage tear can be seen with both my MRI and the many X-Rays that have been taken(which is making this surgery hard to obtain). I still use this device daily, and only take it off to shower/wash the widget. I can usually get 4ish months of continuous use (24/7) out of these widgets before having to finally throw them out when the Velcro ceases to function properly.
Although this device has not cured my condition, it has almost completely hidden the symptoms during use. Only side effect is the occasional rash that occurs from my extreme use which a little A & D cream takes care of. If I take off the widget for more than a couple hours, full symptoms return. My only regret is the price of this unit, but if this is your first time using this device, the price includes a personal wrist evaluation (like I had) by Mrs. Wendy Howard and I consider a great value-Adam
Description of WristWidget Wrist Support
This is NOT the same as the elastic splints on the market. The elastic splints do not cause an immediate decrease of pain and increase of grip. See details of this splint at www.wristwidget.com. Email OTR, CHT, Clinical Research Coordinator for questions at howardtherapy@yahoo.com FAQ: How is this different from other splints? NON elastic patented design- no compression to ulnar head. This allows for objective changes in grip and weight bearing. Easy to tighten. Designed for continuous use for 6 months.Hand & Wrist Braces
