I needed something to help with carpal tunnel in my right hand-- specifically to brace my hand/fingers while sleeping, as the pain became disruptive at night.I tried other braces intended for carpal tunnel, but they did not support the fingers and thumb, which I needed. This does. It is also a firm but flexible enough frame to fit to my desired shape, and enough sturdy velcro straps to hold it in place (for the most part--I have apparently taken it off in my sleep some nights).Seems well made; the mitt has a hidden zipper, I'm guessing to allow for easier laundering, but I haven't fussed with that as yet. My only complaints are the thumb frame stiffness and how the velcro strap fits around the thumb-- it's not sewn down to the mitt in the most optimal spot, so it is awkward to wrap around the thumb given all the other straps, and even then, it doesn't feel secure around the thumb, making it more bothersome than necessary. That bit could use some redesign work.All the rest is great, even if the many straps makes this a bit of effort to put on. Really does help ease the pain, though-- stretches fingers, immobilized my distressed hand and wrist joints.Good product for the money. And, if ever needed, for the left hand, too.
