The Daytime Brace is lightweight and flexible, allowing full finger movement. It's ideal for typing, work, and daily activities that require wrist support without full immobilization.
The Nighttime Brace has a built-in palm cushion and a rigid support system designed to immobilize your wrist and reduce pressure while sleeping. It's best for overnight relief and preventing harmful wrist positions.
BRACEOWL braces are designed with guidance from orthopedic professionals and are listed as Class I medical devices. They are intended to support conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and tendonitis, but are not a substitute for a professional medical diagnosis or treatment.
The Day Brace is suitable for light activities like walking or general movement but is not intended for high-impact or vigorous sports. It is best used during repetitive wrist tasks such as typing or office work.
For daytime use, wear the brace during activities that strain your wrist, typically 4–6 hours. For nighttime, the brace is designed to be worn throughout sleep. Discontinue use if you experience discomfort and consult a healthcare provider if needed.

Clean once per week with regular use. Clean more often if worn during exercise or hot weather to maintain hygiene and prolong the lifespan.
