With this support, you can relieve, assist and protect your wrist in cases of tenosynovitis, contusions, strains, sprains as well as arthrosis and arthritis. Thanks to its innovative knit technology, first-class wearing comfort is maintained even during movement. For instance, the JuzoFlex Manu Xtra wrist support features a special seamless stretch zone that reduces bothersome friction and prevents constriction or creasing.
Wrist support with special stretch zone

The hand is an anatomical wonder that contains numerous bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves – all packed together in a very small area. Perfectly coordinated interaction between these anatomical structures make the hand a versatile tool indeed. To achieve the desired range of motion, the wrist is made up of two joint sections, numerous ligaments and 8 carpal bones. These form a connection between the ulna and radius and the metacarpus.
The wrist is literally the pivot point for many activities, whether for work, leisure, sports, home and garden or when using computers. This involves an immense amount of strain. For chronic excess strain conditions or pain due to heavy loads, an orthopaedic wrist support can provide valuable assistance and relief. The best course of action is to consult your physician for professional examination and advice.
The compression effect of the support helps to reduce post-traumatic and post-operative swelling and oedema, thus improving joint mobility.
The wrist support can also compensate for muscular imbalances and stabilise the joint. The integrated pad ensures even pressure distribution, relieves pressure-sensitive areas and provides a massage-like effect. Because the support relieves the wrist but still allows movement as a rule, it is ideally suited for returning to activity after an illness or injury.
Juzo Xtra supports are technically sophisticated medical aids that adapt flexibly to movement patterns. The stabilisation elements and breathable knitted fabrics are based on the human anatomy and natural movement sequences. Special stretch zones and reduced pressure at the borders ensure ideal wearing comfort during movement.
When should you wear a wrist support?
Medical wrist supports can be worn for tenosynovitis, mild forms of carpal tunnel syndrome, after sprains, contusions or excessive strain. They can also be used preventively for relief under heavy strain or for chronic symptoms such as arthrosis and arthritis. Supports are an ideal tool for returning to activity.
How long should you wear a wrist support?
How many hours a day should you wear a wrist support?
Although there is no maximum wearing period for a properly fitted wrist support in principle, it is best to consult your physician or therapist for advice. However, for most illnesses, the support can be removed at night when the hand is scarcely moving.
Is a support helpful for wrist pain?
For many conditions that affect the wrist, it is effective and recommended to use a support. Compression counteracts potential swelling and is thus also able to work against pain. Ask your physician or therapist if this is right for you.
What is the difference between a wrist support and a wrist orthosis?
Wrist supports offer more flexibility than orthoses. The compression effect can help to reduce swelling and promote the healing process. Particularly for a gentle return to movement, supports are the first choice. Orthoses are used on the wrist for targeted immobilisation of specific areas. This can be beneficial, for example, after an acute injury or surgery for temporary immobilisation and controlled stabilisation. The generally rigid design of orthoses offers stable protection, and depending on the model, the permitted range of motion can be individually adjusted as desired.
