REVIO Brace

I bought two, one for each hand. My husband has enormous hands and he was able to get it on as well and said it was comfortable, but he didn't wear it for long, so I can't say how comfortable he'd find it long-term. I am a woman with large hands, and this fits well other than rubbing a little between the thumb and hand. I've tried three different braces for carpal tunnel. This is both the most comfortable and the most effective. The brace allows a very limited range of motion (you are not completely locked in place) which is nice, but it's rigid enough to effectively treat carpal tunnel. It goes farther down the wrist than the other braces, which I like, and the velcro around the wrist is much wider, allowing for a snugger and more custom fit. The beads in the hand make it considerably more comfortable too, if a bit warm. The area between the thumb and the hand, as I mentioned, rubs a little, but it is much better than the others. The velcro can be hard to unfasten, particularly with weak grip due to carpal tunnel, but at least it stays closed tight. Since switching to this brace, I've been sleeping better and my carpal tunnel has improved. Great purchase.

My fifth try at a good wrist brace and this is the keeper. I’m generally skeptical of brands I don’t recognize, but this brace is pretty unique and it works. Here’s my opinion:1.) light weight enough to sleep in. It’s lighter because the top is soft neoprene without an aluminum or otherwise rigid bar. The only bar it has is under the wrist. The neoprene gave my wrist some compression support and that helped with the ache.2.) my wrist wasn’t stiff from being in the splint. I’ve strained ligaments so being completely locked in one position basically tightens up the ligaments, making it hurt more when I have to break the stiffness. That seemed counterintuitive.3.) the cuff at the “hand end” is adjustable, not just at the wrist. This is what makes it rare to unique. I wanted good compression in my wrist but not so tight as to cut across my palm. I wanted a splint that went past my wrist for optimum joint support. This does both.4.) there is a small pouch with beads inside that forms to your palm. This is, and feels, brilliant.Now, the potential negatives: first, there is an internal cuff. Great for keeping the brace on when adjusting the straps, but if you have XXXL wrists/forearms, it may not fit. Next, if you need the firmest support, you’re going to need a brace with hard splints on both the top and bottom, not this one. This is two steps above an ace bandage, one step up from a neoprene sleeve only, one step below the “three wrist straps, stiff bar on top and bottom, Velcro thumb strap.”

Upon first opening and "unstraping" so to speak, I realized just how durable the velcro was. I was extremely surprised at how strong that hold was- something perfect for all day wear. No slipping. The cushion with the beads was a pleasant surprise and a great one at that! Its soft and perfect for wrist support that adds a little extra for your fingers to bend over and hold onto perfectly. Very comfortable in that way.I, have a very small wrist and thin hands. I did notice right away that the thumb hole was so large my whole thumb down to the wrist stuck out. So if youre someone with a child sized wrist like mine, this may seem very "large" on your wrist. And the velcro although strong, was hard for me, a person without carpal tunnel or wrist pain as of now, to even unstick in order to pull apart. So thats a good/bad thing dependant on use.The brace allows for easy mobility as the straps fall on the top/bottom and leave the middle open to move but the middle, lacks support in my opinion. Almost as though a 3rd strap should be there. And again, for small hands, other than curling my fingers over the top of the brace ( which is comfy) I could not function with the brace on my dominant hand. I realize it says "night wrist support" and if marketed as that, this is a wonderful brace however if thats just a perk to the product for everyday use, I think some tweaks need to be made if including for smaller wristed people like myself.

That's a bad thing. It's supposed to be a wrist brace, not a wrist wrap. The metal bar on the bottom is useful, but the spandex or whatever material is too stretchy. I find my wrist still bends, just off the metal bar now when I sleep because of how much room my wrist has from the generously stretchy material. Maybe next time make it out of something a bit more rigid, like denim or leather. Also, I find the stretchy material shrinks a bit too much, causing bad circulation when in stationary for too long. And lastly, it gets really warm, causing just the part under the 'brace' to sweat and become uncomfortable. Again, denim/cotton might be able to get around this issue. Not saying it's the right move, but just an option that should be considered over the current material.Other than that, I like it. Ambidextrous design is smart. Little bead stuff does add much needed comfort, though some kind of memory foam would do the same. Velcro is very strong, so no worries about it slipping off or the velcro coming loose.
