TFCC injuries can cripple you, preventing you from completing even the most basic activities of daily living. When you wear the WristWidget, you provide your injured wrist with targeted compression that instantly helps to relieve pain, and provide the stability you need to do all that you need to do.

Is the WristWidget One-Size-Fits-All?
For the most part,.. yes! The WristWidget can be worn on left and right wrists.
There is a small percentage of the population that has an unusually small wrist. If your wrist is smaller than 10cm, you might find that it will slip. The fit actually has more to do with the depth of your wrist crease than the circumference. If it slips, you can find a solution over here: https://bit.ly/ww-b-slip.
How tight should it be?
It takes about a week to figure out what the tension should be for your injury. It should be snug at night and tight with heavier activities. For instance, if your weight bearing tolerance without the WristWidget is only 13 kg and you are performing a task which requires 26 kg of force, the WristWidget needs to be tight. When you are done with the task, you will need to adjust it to a lighter tension. The microadjustment function of the WristWidget is essential to ensure that you can tolerate it for up to 12 weeks.
Can I wear it in the water?
Yes! It is made to provide continuous support - even in the water.
How long does the WristWidget last?
It is made to last for the entire length of your recovery which can be up to 3 months. It is designed to be used in the water and last a long time. The velcro is cut to a length to ensure that it lasts long.
What are WristWidget made of?

The easiest and best way to wash your WristWidget is with a gentle soap or 1 part vinegar 10 parts water. Then air dry! The WristWidget does not like temperatures over 40 °C. We DO NOT recommend putting your WristWidget in the washing machine or dryer.
Can I continue athletic activities with the WristWidget?
In general, if your weight bearing tolerance is over 29kg, you are safe to perform heavier tasks with the WristWidget without re-injury. Tasks which are risky are: end range rotation with weight and weight bearing: bicep curls with palm up and over 2kg of weight; pull ups with palms facing you; weight lifting over your current weight bearing tolerance etc.
How do I know that the WristWidget will help me?
Don’t worry- you will know. Every person who has the TFCC injury puts it on and KNOWS. If you put it on and it hurts- it is not for you. The WristWidget is only appropriate for those with pain with weight bearing and show an immediate change in weight bearing tolerance with it on.
