Wrist and Hand Splints for Clinical and Post-Surgical Use
Wrist and hand splints support and immobilize the wrist joint for carpal tunnel management, tendinitis, sprains, post-cast transition and post-surgical protection. This category groups cock-up splints, immobilizers, night splints and wrist-and-forearm braces stocked across orthopedic clinics, hand therapy programs, emergency departments and urgent care.
Wrist and Hand Splint Types Stocked
- Cock-up wrist splints - Palmar-stay splints that hold the wrist in slight extension while leaving the fingers and thumb free. Stocked in elastic, canvas and breathable knit shells with a removable aluminum stay, in left, right and universal fits.
- Carpal tunnel night splints - Lower-profile wrist splints that hold the wrist in a neutral position, stocked for overnight wear and repetitive-strain programs.
- Wrist immobilizers - Firmer splints with volar and sometimes dorsal stays for greater motion restriction after sprain, strain or cast removal.
- Wrist and forearm braces - Longer-shell braces that extend up the forearm for greater immobilization of the wrist and distal forearm.
- Thumb-inclusive wrist splints - Wrist splints with an integrated thumb spica component for combined wrist and thumb support.

Stay Configuration and Shell Materials
Wrist splints differ by stay and shell construction. The stay is the rigid bar that sets wrist position - most cock-up splints use a single removable palmar aluminum stay that can be contoured, while immobilizers add a dorsal stay for firmer control. Shell materials stocked include elastic and canvas for general use, breathable knit and neoprene for longer wear, and terry or foam liners. Closures are hook-and-loop straps in two or three positions for adjustment across swelling.
Wrist and hand splints are among the highest-turnover upper extremity SKUs in orthopedic, urgent care and hand therapy inventories, where carpal tunnel and sprain volume drives steady reorder. Stocking a graded size run in left, right and universal fits keeps fitting rooms covered without overstocking any single size. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cock-up wrist splint and a wrist immobilizer?
A cock-up wrist splint uses a single palmar stay to hold the wrist in slight extension while allowing some residual motion, and is the standard format for carpal tunnel and general wrist support. A wrist immobilizer adds a second stay - usually dorsal - and a firmer shell for greater motion restriction after sprain, strain or cast removal. Both are stocked in graded circumference sizes.
What sizes and side options are stocked in wrist splints?
Wrist splints are sized by wrist circumference in small through extra-large runs, and most cock-up and carpal tunnel styles are stocked in left, right and universal hand configurations. Wrist-and-forearm braces are carried in universal and sized formats. The size and side options for each line are listed on the product records.
Are breathable and night-wear wrist splint materials available?
Yes. Shell materials stocked include elastic and canvas for general daytime use, and breathable knit, mesh and neoprene constructions carried for extended and overnight wear. Carpal tunnel night splints use a lower-profile shell and a neutral wrist angle. Liner and closure options vary by brand and are noted on each product.
Can hospitals and clinics order wrist and hand splints in bulk?
Yes. Wrist and hand splints are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, orthopedic and hand therapy clinics, long-term care facilities, emergency departments and urgent care centers, and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-velocity SKUs - cock-up wrist splints in medium and large, carpal tunnel night splints and universal wrist immobilizers. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What wrist and hand splint products should be included in a facility formulary?
A working wrist and hand splint formulary typically carries a cock-up wrist splint line in small through extra-large, left and right, a carpal tunnel night splint, a firmer wrist immobilizer for post-sprain use, and a thumb-inclusive wrist splint for combined support. Hand therapy programs add wrist-and-forearm braces. MAP Medical builds consolidated formulary packages matched to facility type and patient volume - contact our team for an assessment.
