wrist support

Joint compression sleeve

A wrist support is a device worn around the wrist to provide stability, reduce strain, or aid recovery from injury.

These supports range from simple elastic bands to rigid braces with metal splints, depending on whether the goal is gentle compression during typing or immobilization after a sprain.

My doctor recommended a wrist support for the carpal tunnel symptoms.

They're common among office workers, athletes, and anyone recovering from repetitive stress injuries.
