Does this brace have a metal support under palm?

Yes it does. It's a little more flexible than the Orthopaedic wrist support I use to sleep. I have severe Carpal Tunnel (bi lateral)
500202
Yes and it's very comfortable. I have been sleeping in these braces for several years.

I just tried to put on my brace without using my thumb on the other hand. I had no problem. I believe this will work for you.

Yes to both questions. The side brace offers some support but is not metal. I find them easy to get on, and they fit me better than braces made for both sexes.

Ruth, the answer is no. The brace fits both .It is designed to fit right and left hands. The sleeve has a thumb hole on both sides. So it doesn't matter what hand you use it on, you get the same comfort.

Both - it has a metal splint but has a wonderful cushion in the palm that makes it super comfortable. I use this only at night - I type at work and so it would be very difficult to use this while typing as it keeps your hand fairly immobilized. This is by far the most comfortable brace I've found.

The brace wraps around to lift the wrist slightly, pointing the hand upward, which makes the fingers curl. So technically you can still make a fist, but its more like wrapping your fingers around a tennis ball instead of your nails digging into your skin. Pick up a tennis ball and grab it. That would be almost the same as what your hand can do with this brace.

Yes, perfect for small adult hands. It is more of a soothing support than a brace type support. It is good for minor/slight aching in wrist or thumb.

No it does not. It keeps it positioned at arms reach and firmly stays in place until I need it.

It's all elastic or neoprene; no metal. It's good for moderate support. If you need more support, you need a thicker brace, or one with metal bracing.

No splint in it at all. But I find it very supportive of my basal thumb joint. It provides me great comfort.

no there are no metal or plastic stays in this brace. It is a tight wrap held by velcro and the straps wrap under the foot for arch support. The is the same one that orthopedic doctors order for you for $125 and up

Mine does not, but the palmrest has a slot/bezel for it if one wants to install it later.

It has a soft splint, like a hard foam. It will protect you from twisting and spraining your wrist but is not strong enough to prevent collision damage like the hard shell on the palm

Yep, absolutely. I have loved this brace, it is highly effective and easy to use.

If you mean an elastic/Velcro wrist brace and not one with a metal or plastic splint added, yes. I often wore one under my dritz glove and then put on my leather work gloves to do yard work. My elastic brace has a fingerless glove attached. If yours is only the wrist band, that should be able to go either under or on tip of the dritz.

It does not. The material is cordura-like (similar to a back pack) with similarly design straps that wrap around both sides. This is an incredibly good brace per the experience of my son and I for basketball, soccer, baseball, and general outdoor activities.

yes. There is the big cushioned ball inside on which your fingers rest. I tend to clench my fingers into a fist, too, and my fingers become numb. This support prevents that. It's a comfortable support, but it is "hot' wearing it at night during summer time as I sweat. I wear a support each night on both hands. I can now sleep through the whole night without waking to numb fingers. The reason you have to wear it at night is that its design prevents you from doing anything with your hands so if you want or need to do something, you have to remove the support.
