Wrist Brace/Guard

[spacemunk]

Hi

Does anyone know where can i find a wide range of wrist guards?

Been to pharmacies all over and none of them have proper wrist guards.

Been using a wrist band from LP , Wrist wrap by Futuro and my wrist still hurts after awhile of typing at the keyboard.

Do the hospitals here in Bangkok have hospital pharmacies which have proper wrist guards?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "proper wrist guard" ??

In Boots, Watsons and many other pharmacies you can buy hand splints that immobilze the wrist. They are usually worn at night but are possible to wear while typing as well.

Fascino does have some wrist braces - They are a Pharamcy, certainly in Pattaya and I assume elswhere in Thailand.

I have 2 wrist braces from them - different makes and with a metal or very strong centre brace running down the wrist area to keep it immobile. Certainly make sure you have a wrist support item (sold in computer shops etc) placed in front of your mouse, that your wrist rests on when operating your mouse

There is a Thai website called "imexplus.co.th" that sells braces similar to the ones a person can buy for computer carpal at many pharmacies in north America. The product name is the I-flex wrist splint.
