Hand & Wrist Braces, Splints & Supports

Hand & Wrist Braces, Splints & Supports

Hand and wrist pain quickly affects the way you grip, lift, write, type, cook, dress and stay active. The right wrist brace, thumb splint or compression wrist support gives the joint the level of stability it needs without making everyday movement harder than necessary.

BetterCareMarket’s Hand & Wrist Support range brings together practical Braces & Supports for arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendonitis, repetitive strain injury, wrist sprains, thumb ligament injuries, skier’s thumb, gamekeeper’s thumb, CMC osteoarthritis and weak or overused wrists.

Choose from thermic wrist sleeves, compression wrist supports, wrist straps, sports wrist braces, medical wrist splints and thumb braces from trusted brands including OAPL, Push Med, Push Care, Push Sports, Push Ortho and Vulkan. As an Australian Registered NDIS Provider, BetterCareMarket also supports customers who are looking for eligible Braces & Supports, Independent Living Aids and NDIS Consumables for everyday function, comfort and independence.

How to choose the right hand or wrist support

Start by thinking about where you need support and how much movement you want to keep, the level of control you need.

• If you want warmth, light compression and normal hand movement, look for a thermic or compression wrist support.
• If you need adjustable support during sport, exercise, work or repetitive activities, consider a wrist strap or sports wrist support.
• If bending or twisting the wrist needs more control, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, arthritis or wrist instability, look for a structured wrist brace.
• If your wrist needs firmer positioning or immobilisation during recovery, a wrist splint provides greater restriction.
• If discomfort or instability is centred around the base of the thumb, look for a CMC thumb brace.
• If the thumb needs protection following a sprain or ligament injury, particularly during sport, look for a sports thumb brace.

After surgery, fracture or a significant hand or wrist injury, follow the fitting and support recommendations provided by your treating healthcare professional.

Our wrist sleeves are a great solution for those painful arthritis flare-ups. The easy-on-and-off sleeves provide the compression needed to help with pain and stiffness throughout the day.

Compression wrist sleeves for warmth, swelling and daily movement

Thermic and premium wrist supports suit sore, aching or swollen wrists that still need natural hand movement. These sleeves give light compression around the wrist while keeping the fingers and thumb free for daily tasks such as typing, preparing meals, driving, dressing or holding small objects.

Choose this style for mild wrist pain, soft tissue strain, arthritis discomfort, tendonitis, overuse, later stage rehabilitation or general wrist weakness. OAPL wrist sleeves include breathable materials, comfortable compression and options for heat retention. A thermic wrist support adds warmth for stiff joints, while a premium compression wrist sleeve offers a more supportive fit during recovery from sprains, RSI or wrist strain.

Start your recovery with our wrist and thumb braces. If you are looking for high quality, comfort and durability, you’ll find what you need from our range of wrist supports and thumb splints from quality brands. 

Bettercaremarket’s objective is to get you back to using your thumb and wrist again.

Thumb braces

Our Push Thumb Braces offer targeted support, protection and all-day comfort for various thumb conditions, including thumb ostheoarthritis, trigger thumb, CMC and tendon injuries.

They are carefully designed to provide support and reduce pain from Thumb Arthritis, overuse injuries, stabilise the thumb for Gamekeepers’ or Skier’s thumb or rest a sprained thumb.

Thumb brace for arthritis

Experience the innovative Thumb Brace by Push Ortho. This game-changing thumb splint restricts movement in your thumb through a thin, moulded rubber and metal form that can be fitted to your hand support.

The splint offers stability at the base of the thumb, while allowing your fingers and thumb to function freely. Ideal for Thumb CMC Osteoarthritis.

Thumb brace for sprain

With a contoured padded shell to protect your thumb, the Thumb Brace by Push Sports will let you play sports and perform everyday activities again. The thumb splint gives you the appropriate immobilisation to facilitate healing and reduce pain. The Push Sports Thumb Brace is ideal for thumb instability, strain or sprain of the thumb or ligament injury to the thumb, including Skier’s Thumb, RCL injury or Gamekeepers’ thumb.

Thumb braces for skier’s thumb and sports injuries

Thumb ligament injuries need targeted protection. A sports thumb brace focuses on the middle thumb joint and gives stability after overstretching, sprain, partial ligament injury or joint instability.

The Push Sports Thumb Brace suits skier’s thumb, gamekeeper’s thumb, RCL injury, MCP joint instability, thumb strain, thumb sprain and De Quervain’s related thumb discomfort. It protects the injured thumb while leaving the palm free for normal grip. This makes it suitable for sport, work and active daily routines. It also fits under many sports gloves, making it practical for skiing, goalkeeping, racquet sports and other activities where thumb protection matters. Choose this style when the thumb injury is linked to trauma, twisting, overstretching or sport.

Thumb braces for CMC osteoarthritis and basal thumb pain

Thumb arthritis often affects gripping, pinching, opening jars, using keys, writing, texting and holding cutlery. A thumb brace for CMC osteoarthritis stabilises the base of the thumb so the hand works with less strain.

The innovative Thumb Brace by Push Ortho is suited to CMC joint arthritis, basal thumb pain, thumb instability, thumb sprains, thumb fractures and recovery after thumb surgery when recommended by a clinician. It stabilises the thumb base while keeping the fingers and upper thumb available for daily function. Choose this style when the pain is located near the base of the thumb, especially during pinching or gripping. It is a strong choice for customers looking for a thumb splint for arthritis without fully restricting the hand.

Wrist Braces & Supports

Wrist straps and supports for active hands

Wrist straps and adjustable supports sit between a light sleeve and a structured brace. They are a good choice when you want compression, a secure wrist feeling and quick adjustment during movement.

Vulkan wrist straps and Push Sports wrist supports suit mild wrist sprains, weak wrists, wrist laxity, repetitive strain, gym work, racquet sports, gardening, keyboard work and everyday tasks that place pressure through the wrist. These supports wrap around the wrist, provide adjustable compression and leave the hand free for gripping. The slim profile also makes them practical under clothing or sports gear. Choose this group when the wrist needs reassurance, warmth or proprioceptive support without the bulk of a rigid splint.

Functional Wrist Braces for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendonitis and wrist instability

A wrist brace gives more control than a sleeve or strap. It is the better option when wrist movement needs to be limited because of pain, instability, tendon irritation, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, arthritis, sprains or repetitive strain.

Push Med, Push Care and Push Sports wrist braces support the wrist joint while preserving useful hand function. Depending on the model, they include adjustable straps, anatomical stays, breathable materials and compression around vulnerable areas of the wrist. A structured wrist brace suits customers who need stronger support at work, during sport, after injury or while returning to daily routines. Choose this group when bending, twisting or repeated wrist movements trigger pain or reduce confidence.

Keep some wrist motion while having compressive support with the soothing Wrist Brace from Push Care. It is perfect for mild arthritis of the wrist, tendonitis or minor wrist injuries.

The Wrist Brace from Push Med is used when the wrist needs to be immobilised and held in position to help recovery. It is uniquely designed with anatomically shaped top and bottom stays that adapt to your hand brace and wrist, stabilising the wrist joint. It can also be used to treat De Quervain’s syndrome.

Wrist splints for stronger immobilisation and recovery

A wrist splint gives firmer control when the joint needs rest in a functional position. This is the right direction when a sleeve or flexible brace does not provide enough stability.

The Push Med Wrist Splint suits moderate sprains, wrist strain, nerve pain, repetitive strain symptoms, moderate to severe arthritis, recovery after surgery and recovery after fractures when approved by your treating professional. Its structure limits forward bending of the wrist while keeping the hand positioned for practical use. This type of splint is often chosen for night time positioning, post injury protection and stronger wrist immobilisation during recovery. It gives the wrist a more stable base while still allowing the fingers to remain active.

Wrist brace for tendonitis

Keep some wrist motion while having compressive support with the soothing Wrist Brace from Push Care. It is perfect for mild arthritis of the wrist, tendonitis or minor wrist injuries.

Wrist braces for sports injuries

Suffering from a sports-related wrist injury can not only be extremely painful, but also a limitation of your game play. Our range of Wrist Supports for Sports Injuries can help you reduce the pain and discomfort, as well as encourage healing to help you get back on the pitch or the court more quickly.

Who can benefit from Hand & Wrist Supports?

This category suits people who need extra hand, thumb or wrist stability during everyday life, work, exercise or recovery.

You might be looking for support because of:

• Arthritis or joint stiffness
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or repetitive strain
• Tendon irritation or overuse
• Wrist weakness or instability
• Wrist or thumb sprains
• Thumb ligament injuries
• CMC thumb osteoarthritis
• Rehabilitation following injury or surgery
• Sport or activities that repeatedly load the wrist or thumb

Hand and wrist supports can also be useful when reduced grip or joint discomfort affects everyday independence. In these situations, selected Daily Living Aids or Independent Living Aids can sometimes reduce the amount of gripping, twisting or force required for common tasks.

NDIS and Hand & Wrist Supports

Some hand, thumb and wrist supports may be purchased using NDIS funding when the item is an NDIS support, relates to your disability needs and is appropriate for the funding available in your plan. Funding is not automatic simply because a product is a brace or support.

BetterCareMarket is a Registered NDIS Provider. If you are unsure whether a wrist brace, wrist splint or thumb support is appropriate for your plan, check with your occupational therapist, support coordinator, plan manager or other relevant healthcare professional before ordering.

Takeaway

Hand and wrist supports are not all the same. A sleeve gives warmth and compression. A strap gives quick support. A wrist brace gives structure. A splint gives stronger immobilisation. A thumb brace protects the exact joint that is causing pain. Choose according to the joint you need to protect and the amount of movement you want to keep.
