Aircast Wrist & Thumb Braces

Aircast builds orthopedic braces the way clinicians want them: supportive where it counts, unobtrusive everywhere else. This collection centers on the Aircast A2 wrist brace line — a low-profile support designed to immobilize and protect the wrist through recovery from sprains, strains, carpal tunnel symptoms, tendinitis, and post-cast rehabilitation, without the bulk of a rigid gauntlet.

The thing most buyers ask first is about fit, and the A2 answers it directly. Each brace is hand- and size-specific, so you order left or right and match your wrist circumference — Small (5 to 6-1/2 inches), Medium (6-1/8 to 7-3/4 inches), or Large (7-1/2 to 9 inches). Getting the side and size right matters because the malleable palmar stay is shaped to follow the natural contour of the hand; a correctly fitted brace holds the wrist in a neutral, functional position while the D-ring hook-and-loop closure lets the wearer adjust compression through the day as swelling changes.

If the injury involves the thumb — a de Quervain's flare, a scaphoid concern, or a ligament sprain — the A2 Wrist Brace with Thumb Spica and the Wrist/Thumb Spica Splint models add an aluminum-and-foam thumb post to the same nylon wrist support, extending immobilization to the CMC and MCP joints. Standard A2 models such as the 05WML and 05WMR leave the fingers and thumb fully free for typing, driving, and daily tasks, which is why they're a common choice for overuse and repetitive-strain complaints.

Aircast braces are worn by athletes returning to sport, office workers managing carpal tunnel, and patients transitioning out of a cast, making them a staple for clinics, physical therapy practices, and home recovery alike.
