Dr Arthritis Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "Dr Arthritis Copper Lined Wrist Brace is well crafted to alleviate pain and disability when wrapped around my wrist for a short while, leaving me pain free and able to resume activity when I remove it."
• "She felt instant relief and she said that she could tell that the copper in it was definitely beneficial."
• "It worked well, the Velcro is good and its nice and snug fitting."
• "I'm happy with this wrap with and it can be used on either hand."
• "The wrist wrap was ergonomically designed to fit the shape of the wrist so it doesn’t hurt to wear for extended periods."
• "It does not impede the use of the rest of your hand and keeps your thumb in an extended, but comfortable position."
• "This brace allows me to keep my wrist stable but still have enough range of motion to write and draw, as well as give me support while i’m doing basic tasks around the house."

Cons:

• "The sleeve is soft, almost too soft for my needs."
• "It’s awkward to get on and it’s really made for larger wrists."
• "When I initially put this on, it seemed comfortable. After wearing it a little while, however, my wrist was more sore than it was prior to putting it on and the thumb hole had cut into my hand in an uncomfortable way."
• "It isn't very stiff, so if you have a wrist injury that needs an actual brace, I'd recommend some other product."
• "I have small wrists and this brace is a tad too big for them. The material folds out a bit weird in some areas as a result."
• "Not as much support as I want but also not as bulky as those with more support."
• "Basically doesn't do anything. To get your wrist really braced, you have to wrap it tightly to the point of discomfort/circulation problems."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "After several months of use (typically while sleeping) I can see some wear on this brace, but the velcro is holding up well as is the thumb support."
• "The built quality exceeds my expectations."
• "Sturdy build, high quality."
• "The stabilization plates are perfectly positioned and padded such that you don’t feel them at all."
• "The material is a great quality and they provide the support that I needed."
• "The quality is amazing — the straps are stretchy and comfortable and provide stability without being too rigid."
• "It is similar to other wraps of these type but IMO is very high quality product."

Cons:

• "The Velcro stopped holding after 4 or 5 weeks."
• "I’ve worn the wrap daily for about 1 month & the fibers of the wrap are beginning to fray due to the putting on & off the Velcro."
• "The velcro on this brace is stiff and scratchy."
• "The velcro is also tearing at the fabric as you can see from the photo after one week's use."
• "Also the material is beginning to tear between the thumb & index finger area."
• "The stitching in one of the brace thumb holes is starting to come apart slightly."
• "Not sure how these will hold up. He only tried them on for a few minutes the first day while typing on his keyboard but we already noticed there was some fraying near the circular stitching of velcro."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "Unfortunately this product did not work for me personally, I left a review explaining why and the seller contacted me directly to offer apologies and a refund."
• "Customer service contacted me and was just fantastic!"
• "And their customer service team is amazing, their products are well designed and very helpful."
• "The customer service was genuine and I couldn’t be more thankful."

Cons:

• "I liked the included 'Dr. Athritis Handbook' that gave info about the wrist and some exercises to do.. but there were no instructions on how to wear the wrist brace."
• "Unfortunately these were delivered yesterday on Thursday and look like this the very next day. I have not had them long enough to know if they are working, but one is already coming apart."
• "According to the 1 star reviews I’m reading, now that I’ve received this useless thing, it appears there are several different pictures and descriptions of what everyone has received."
