Steady, comfortable wrist support with the Vulkan Short Wrist Splint
The Vulkan Wrist Splint 2182 is a short wrist brace with a palmar stay that sits under your wrist, wrapped in flexible compression fabric. Move the palmar stay across and the same splint fits your right or left hand.
Why You'll Love the Vulkan Wrist Splint 2182
- One splint, either hand. Shift the palmar splint to change the fit from right to left. Tabs fasten at the top or bottom depending on the side.
- Support plus compression. Flexible compression supports the wrist and improves proprioception, your sense of where your wrist is.
- Quick to put on. Open it, rest your wrist on the stay, close the tabs and wrap the strap.
- Five sizes. Small to XXL, sized by wrist circumference.
Life with the Vulkan Wrist Splint 2182
A sore or unstable wrist makes typing, carrying shopping or opening a jar feel like a chore. This short splint keeps the wrist steady on its palmar stay while leaving your fingers and thumb free, so you can keep doing the things you need to do.
The Vulkan Wrist Splint 2182 in a nutshell
- Palmar stay: supports the wrist from underneath and moves to suit either hand.
- Flexible compression: nylon and latex fabric for support and better wrist awareness.
- Short length: a lower-profile option in the Vulkan wrist splint range.
- Latex note: contains 30% latex, so it's not suitable if you are allergic to latex.
Choosing the right size
Sizing is by wrist circumference. Measure the wrist the splint is for, with the tape snug but not tight. The same splint fits either hand, so you only need to choose the size.
- Measure around the wrist. Wrap the tape around the wrist at the wrist crease and note the measurement in cm.
- Pick the size from the table below.
- Right on a boundary? Each size starts where the one before ends. If you land on a boundary, email us and we'll help you choose.
- Set the side. Move the palmar stay across to fit the right or left hand.

| Small | 14-16cm |
| Medium | 16-18cm |
| Large | 18-21cm |
| XL | 21-23cm |
| XXL | 23-25cm |
Is it the right wrist splint for you?
