Troubleshooting
Brace feels too tight or causes numbness
Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the splint is not pressing directly on a sensitive area. Re-adjust for a comfortable, secure fit.
Splint is uncomfortable or digging in
Ensure the splint is correctly positioned along the natural contour of your wrist. Verify you have the correct size brace. Minor discomfort may decrease with regular wear as you adapt.
Strap fasteners are not holding securely
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of lint. If wear is significant, consider replacing the brace.
Skin irritation occurs while wearing the brace
Ensure the brace is clean and dry. Wear a thin sock or sleeve underneath the brace if skin sensitivity persists. Take breaks from wearing the brace and consult a healthcare professional if irritation is severe.
