Adjustable Elastic Wrist Band - Body Assist (1)

A light wrist support for a wrist that fatigues or feels weak under load, not a rigid splint. It wraps the joint in ventilated orthopaedic elastic and holds a firm compression, with a touch-tape closure you set to the tension that suits the task. Three sizes, worn on either hand, in black or beige.

The band is ventilated orthopaedic elastic, so it holds compression without trapping heat through a longer wear. The touch-tape closure lets you get it on over a tender or swollen wrist rather than pulling a fixed sleeve over your hand, then set the support firmer or lighter as the wrist settles. One band works on a left or a right hand, so there is no side to get wrong at the checkout. The elastic retains warmth around the joint, which some people prefer for a stiff or fatigued wrist.

External wrist support like this is something people reach for when a wrist tires or feels weak under load, not a way to prevent a first injury. It holds a firm compression that some people prefer through work, travel, or a training session. If you need to lock the wrist down hard, the firmer wrist braces in the range go further. If you are working back from a recent wrist injury, a physiotherapist can tell you what level of support suits you.

Straptor stocks the wrist-support range side by side, so you can weigh this light adjustable band against the firmer braces before you commit, with the strapping tape right next to it if you are deciding between a support and taping the wrist. Because it sits at the adjustable, lighter end, the call is often whether this band or a firmer brace suits your wrist, and that is exactly what our team can talk through by phone. Everything is shipped nationwide, with walk-in at our East Bendigo store and phone advice from people who actually brace and strap. Clubs and physios kitting out a squad can reorder by phone or over the counter.

Usage

Wrap the band around the wrist with the hand in a neutral position, set the touch-tape closure to a firm but comfortable tension, and adjust it as the wrist settles during use. The same band works on a left or a right hand. Around sport or work, fit it before activity rather than after the wrist has swollen. Loosen it if you feel pins and needles or the hand goes cold.

Care and storage

Hand washable. Let it air dry rather than machine dry to keep the elastic and the closure working.

Common questions

Which hand does it fit? Either. One band is worn on a left or a right hand, so you only need one for the wrist you want to support.

How do I pick a size? It comes in SML, MED and LGE, sized by wrist circumference. If you fall between sizes, the larger is easier to get on over a swollen wrist and the smaller gives a firmer hold. If you are not sure, call or email us before you order.

Support or tape? For a wrist that tires or feels weak under load, both a support band and strapping tape can help. A band is reusable and quick to fit; tape is more adjustable to the joint. Our thumb-and-wrist taping guide walks through the wrist wrap, and a physiotherapist is the right call if you are returning from a recent injury.

Does it contain latex? The manufacturer does not specify the latex content. If you have a latex allergy, call or email us before you order.

Compliance and claims

This is a wrist support band, described here for compression, support and comfort. It is not presented to treat, cure or prevent injury. It suits a wrist that tires or feels weak under load, and it is not a way to prevent a first injury. If you are managing a current or recent wrist injury, see a physiotherapist.
