Muller Universal wrist brace

Even though this wrist brace was lame because of having a thumb hole on both sides, it has turned out to be most helpful for my ganglion cycst of the 2 or 3 I've tried since buying this one. Of course, it's not in the stores anymore, but I tracked it down. It turns out that the original wrist brace had a tag that said "B306". That is this Beige 306 brace:

Also this one, although they don't show the beige:

I only figured out recently that the metal bar inside was intended to be removable!

Ganglion Cyst Info

Here are a couple of helpful web pages on the subject.

This page floats theories about the exact nature of the one-way valve, and that the cyst is not so much a structure of its own but simply a gap in adjacent tissues:

Here are some photos of mine. It's apparently termed "Volar"
