Velpeau Wrist and Thumb Spica Stockinette (Pack of 10) Comfy Arm Sock, Cotton Skin Protection Sleeve, Wrist Liner and Pre-Wrap Cover for Splints, Air Casts, Hand Brace(Medium)

These hand sleeves are really great. They made wearing a forearm splint so much more comfortable! I was even able to put one over the outside of the splint to protect my clothing from the Velcro straps of the splint. The sleeves are lightweight and stretchy. You can even wash them and reuse.

The orthopedic doctor supplied me with only one liner when he fitted my brace: a simple knit tube with a hole cut out for my thumb, and a smaller tube for my thumb. I did not like the idea of wearing the same liner 24/7 for a month or more, so I purchased these cotton arm socks. They have been great. They came in a package of 10, so I can change the liner daily and not have to wash them every day. They keep the brace from chafing my skin and are very soft and comfortable. I was a little worried about the seam along the thumb, but I don't notice it at all. So far, I have hand washed them once, and they held up pretty well. That said, the top and bottom edges are raw (unhemmed), and by the second wearing, they are beginning to fray and develop small runs at the bottom edge. ( Possibly the top edge also, but I folded that in because my hands are small, so the top edge is less exposed than the bottom edge near the elbow.) They are clearly not intended to be used over and over, and I would not risk washing them in the washing machine. But if you hand wash them gently and let them hang dry, you should be able to get several wearings out of each arm sock.

I decided to try these after my second hand/thumb surgery. My occupational therapist had given me the sleeve plus a “thumb sock” for me to use in the past. This combo works but often slips and leaves uncovered areas. This is a great alternative! All one piece and just thick enough that it feels protective. A few things to know. Yes, they unravel. This is not a permanent garment. One pack will serve me well for several months of use during my recovery (with hand washing). The out of the package length is long enough in the hand and thumb that it accommodate most hands. The material cuts easily with scissors for you to customize the length you need. Consider how much swelling you’re dealing with when selecting a size. I couldn’t use these immediately after surgery because they were too tight due to swelling. Now that the swelling has gone down I find them to be a great tool. Maybe you need to consider sizing up? I ordered medium and waited until I could use them.

Lifesaver. The material was perfect. The fit was what expected. washable & “hand dried” . I had two broken arms then started wearing braces. this is what saved me from the braces. The braces were so irritable. It’s been eight months later that I’m writing this review and I still use these offen when I need to wear my brace for my hand. Reminder I did purchase several sets.

After I had wrist surgery they made a 3-d removable cast for me to wear with a hand sock between my skin and the cast. The original sock was okay but the ones that I bought from Velpeau were SO much softer and more comfortable to wear under the plastic cast. Totally recommend!
