Wrist Braces – Pain Relief & Stability

Whether you’re managing repetitive strain, tendon irritation or everyday wrist stability, our wrist supports deliver reliable, clinically backed results.

With almost 100 years of medical-engineering experience, Bauerfeind creates wrist braces and supports designed to reduce pain, protect injured joints and restore functional movement. Developed and manufactured in Germany, our wrist products combine medical-grade compression, stabilising splints and premium materials to deliver effective, comfortable support for everyday use, work or sport.

Support for Carpal Tunnel, Tendinitis, RSI & More

Our wrist braces are trusted by physiotherapists, hand therapists and orthopaedic specialists across Australia for conditions such as:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Wrist arthritis
• Tendinitis and tenosynovitis
• Fractures and post-cast recovery
• De Quervain’s Syndrome
• Swelling and inflammation
• Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
• Pre- and post-operative care
• General weakness or instability
• Overuse-related pain and post-exercise recovery

Each brace is designed to stabilise the wrist, improve proprioception and support natural, pain-free movement.

Compression vs. Restrictive Wrist Braces

Different conditions require different approaches:

Compression Wrist Supports

Ideal for swelling, tendon irritation and early-stage pain. They provide gentle support, improve circulation and maintain full finger mobility.

Restrictive / Immobilising Braces

Best for fractures, severe tendon injuries or post-operative recovery. They limit wrist movement while still allowing full use of the fingers and thumb for daily activities.

All Bauerfeind wrist products use breathable medical knit fabrics, viscoelastic pads and lightweight splints to ensure comfort, durability and a secure anatomical fit.

What does a wrist brace do?

A wrist brace is designed to treat various injuries and conditions affecting the wrist, hand and thumb/fingers. By compressing or immobilising the wrist (which allows the affected area to recover), the correct-fitting wrist brace will speed up your recovery and minimise any pain.

Bauerfeind have created a range of wrist braces, each suited to treat, or manage, specific wrist injuries. If you are still unsure which wrist brace is most suitable for you, we recommend for you to get in touch with one of our product specialists via the live chat and email function on our homepage or via phone during business hours on 1300 668 466. You can also consult a medical practitioner for their opinion.

How does a wrist brace work?

There are two main types of wrist braces, each designed to treat a range of issues. One is a compressive brace, which provides relief from swelling, general pain and aches while still allowing for a normal range of motion. The other is a restrictive brace, which is designed to immoblise the wrist joint to allow it to recover, while still allowing use of the fingers and thumb.

For a compression brace, try the ManuTrain Wrist Support. Or for a restrictive wrist brace, the ManuLoc

Which conditions can a wrist brace treat?
