Ortho Wrist Uni Wrist Brace - OrthoBrace

This is a firm wrist brace built to hold the wrist steady and limit how far it moves, with a rigid aluminium stay doing the holding. It is a supportive brace rather than a game-day strapping tape, worn to steady a wrist that is already being looked after. Whether it suits you, and how long to wear it, are questions for the professional managing your wrist.

The brace holds its shape with a wide rigid aluminium stay along the palm side and two semi-rigid plastic stays down the back of the hand, so the wrist is held firm from both directions. A drawstring fastening pulls it snug in one movement, and a soft inner lining sits against the skin. One size fits most wrists, and the same brace works on either the left or the right hand.

Because it fits either hand and adjusts through the drawstring, one brace covers a range of wrist sizes rather than a size run. It is a firmer level of hold than an elastic wrist band or sleeve, so it suits someone who needs the wrist genuinely held rather than lightly compressed. It is not worn to prevent a first injury on the field.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, and this brace sits alongside the wider wrist support range, dispatched nationally and stocked at the East Bendigo walk-in. If you are not sure whether a firm brace or a lighter support is the right call, the physiotherapist or clinician managing the wrist is the person to ask, and you can phone the team to talk through fit.

For firmer and lighter options side by side, see the full range of wrist braces, or the wider braces and supports range for other joints. If it is really the thumb that needs holding rather than the whole wrist, our guide to taping a thumb walks through that instead.

Usage

The brace goes on with the rigid aluminium stay sitting along the palm side of the wrist and forearm, and the drawstring drawn up until the fit is firm but not uncomfortable. It fits either hand, so the one brace moves between wrists. How firm to set it and how long to wear it should follow the advice of the health professional looking after the wrist.

Care and storage

Keep it clean and dry between wears, and let it dry fully before the next use. Follow the washing guidance printed on the packaging.

Common questions

Does it fit the left and right wrist? Yes. One brace fits either hand, so you do not choose a side.

Is it one size? One size fits most wrists, and the drawstring adjusts how firm the fit is.

How firm is the support? It is a firm brace, held by a rigid aluminium stay and two semi-rigid stays, so it is a stronger hold than an elastic wrist band or sleeve.

Is it for sport? It is a supportive brace worn to steady a wrist, not a game-day strapping tape. If it is a wrist you need to protect for sport, talk to the professional managing it about what suits.

When should I check with a professional? If you are unsure whether a firm brace is right, or how long to wear it, ask the physiotherapist or clinician looking after the wrist.
