OTC 2383 8" Wrist Brace for Carpal Tunnel , Select Series Wrist Splint with Removable Metal Support for Tendonitis, Arthritis & Sprains

The OTC 2383 is designed to support carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), wrist sprains and strains, tendonitis, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), arthritis, degenerative joint disease, joint instability, post-operative recovery, and post-cast support.

The pre-shaped metal splint runs along the palm side of the brace and holds the wrist in a neutral (straight) position. This prevents painful wrist flexion and extension, which is especially important for carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis recovery. It can be removed for washing or if a softer fit is preferred.

Yes. The OTC 2383 is available for both the left and right hand, sold separately. Please select the correct hand when ordering to ensure proper fit and splint alignment.

Measure the circumference around your wrist. Match your measurement to the sizing chart: X-Small (4.5–5.5 in), Small (5.5–6.5 in), Medium (6.5–7.5 in), Large (7.5–8.5 in), X-Large (8.5–10 in).

Yes. The OTC 2383 is one of the most commonly used braces for carpal tunnel syndrome. By keeping the wrist in a neutral position, it reduces pressure on the median nerve — the primary cause of CTS symptoms including numbness, tingling, and wrist discomfort.

Yes. Nighttime use is one of the most effective ways to manage carpal tunnel syndrome, as many people unconsciously bend their wrists during sleep. The OTC 2383's comfortable foam construction makes it suitable for overnight wear.

Yes. The low-profile palm design preserves full finger movement and dexterity, allowing you to type, write, and perform most daily tasks while wearing the brace. Many office workers and active professionals wear it throughout the workday.

The brace should feel firmly supportive without restricting blood flow. You should be able to slide one finger under the straps comfortably. If you experience numbness, tingling, or increased swelling, loosen the straps or try a larger size.

Yes. The breathable laminated foam construction and lightweight design make it comfortable for extended all-day wear at work, during daily activities, and overnight.

Yes. The OTC 2383 is made from latex-free materials, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities.

Yes. The OTC 2383 is commonly used during post-operative rehabilitation for maximum wrist stabilization. Always follow your surgeon's or physiotherapist's specific recommendations regarding brace use after a procedure.

Remove the metal splint before washing. Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron, as this may damage the foam and hook-and-loop closures.

Yes. By immobilizing the wrist and preventing repetitive flexion and extension, the OTC 2383 allows inflamed tendons to rest and recover, reducing discomfort and supporting recovery from wrist tendonitis.

Yes. The slim, low-profile design and full finger mobility make it suitable for driving. However, always ensure you can safely operate your vehicle before driving with any wrist support.

The OTC 2383 provides maximum support through its rigid metal splint, making it more effective for acute injuries, post-operative recovery, and severe carpal tunnel symptoms. A softer wrist sleeve offers mild compression and is better suited for minor discomfort or preventive use. Consult your care provider for the right level of support.

The metal splint is pre-shaped to maintain a neutral wrist position. Minor adjustments can be made carefully to improve comfort, but avoid bending it excessively as this may compromise its structural integrity and support.

No prescription is required. The OTC 2383 is an over-the-counter wrist brace available directly from Must online or at our showroom. We recommend consulting a care professional to confirm it is appropriate for your situation.

Yes. The wrist stabilization provided by the OTC 2383 helps reduce discomfort from arthritic wrist joints, making daily tasks like gripping, typing, and lifting more comfortable for those living with arthritis.

Wear time depends on your situation and your care provider's guidance. Many users wear it during activity and at night, removing it during rest periods. For acute injuries, more continuous wear may be recommended initially.
