wrist brace

Carpal support device

A wrist brace is a supportive device worn around the wrist to stabilize, protect, or immobilize the joint.

Braces range from flexible fabric sleeves to rigid splints, used for injuries like sprains or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome: My doctor recommended a wrist brace for typing.
