Wrist and Hand Supports for Everyday Comfort
Typing, lifting, gripping tools or simply opening a jar can leave your wrists and hands feeling sore. A wrist or hand support is designed to steady the joint, add gentle compression, and help you stay comfortable through the day.
Dr. Franklyn's is a Brooklyn, New York family business with more than 25 years of experience in orthopedic support and rehabilitation products. Every product page lists sizes and instructions so you can match the support to the way you use your hands.
Types of Wrist and Hand Supports
Wrist and hand supports do not all do the same job. Choose based on what you need to support:
• Wrist support brace: adjustable straps and compression around the wrist
• Splinted wrist brace: a supportive splint designed to limit bending of the wrist
• Thumb brace: supports the base of the thumb for gripping and pinching tasks
• Hand support or compression glove: gentle compression and warmth for the hand and fingers
Wrist Support Brace with Splint
The Adjustable Wrist Brace is a wrist support brace with compression and a splint, secured with adjustable straps. It is a practical option for desk work, lifting and everyday tasks.
Wrist Brace for Carpal Tunnel Discomfort
Many people look for a wrist brace for carpal tunnel discomfort. A splinted wrist brace is designed to keep the wrist in a more neutral position and may help you feel more comfortable during activity or rest, as directed. A brace does not diagnose or treat carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have numbness, tingling or weakness, see a clinician for a proper assessment.
Wrist Brace for Pain Relief
If you want a wrist brace for pain relief, think about the task first. A compression-style brace is intended for temporary relief of everyday soreness, while a splinted brace gives firmer support during repetitive or heavy tasks. Choose the level of support that lets you keep using your hand comfortably, and follow the product instructions.
Thumb Brace
A thumb brace supports the base of the thumb for gripping, pinching and lifting.
Hand Support for Arthritis
Hand support for arthritis usually means gentle compression and warmth that keeps the joints comfortable during daily tasks. It is intended for temporary relief of discomfort and does not treat arthritis, so check with your doctor about a full care plan.
What to Look For in a Wrist Support Brace
• Adjustable straps: so you can tune the fit as swelling or activity changes
• Breathable fabric: for comfort over several hours
• Splint or stay: for firmer support where you need it
• Left or right fit: check whether the brace is made for one hand or both
• Clear size chart: so you can order the right size first time
Getting the Right Fit
A brace that is too loose shifts around, and one that is too tight can feel uncomfortable. Before ordering:
- Measure around your wrist as the product's size chart asks, and note which hand needs the brace
- Compare your measurement with that product's size chart, because sizing differs between products
- If you are between sizes, check the product notes or contact us before ordering
- Check that you can still move your fingers freely and that the brace feels snug, not tight

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a wrist brace help with carpal tunnel discomfort?
A splinted wrist brace is designed to keep the wrist in a more neutral position, which may help some people feel more comfortable. It does not diagnose or treat carpal tunnel syndrome, so see a clinician if you have numbness, tingling or weakness.
When should I wear a wrist support brace?
Many people wear one during tasks that strain the wrist, such as typing, lifting or gripping. Follow the product instructions and your clinician's advice, and take it off if it causes numbness or tingling.
