Claim:
A splint worn by someone suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome during periods of time when the wearer is not engaging in activities which might aggravate their injury but still requires a level of support comprising: a first sleeve fitting over the person's hand and extending up the person's arm past their wrist and including a first support means incorporated in the first sleeve and positioned to support the median nerve passing through the carpal tunnel and alleviate the pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome; and a second sleeve extending up the person's arm past their wrist, the second sleeve extending further up the person's arm than the first splint sleeve, and a second support means incorporated in the second sleeve to also relieve pressure on the median nerve and further alleviate the pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, each sleeve being open at one end and closed at its opposite end, the open end of each sleeve being sized to fit over the person's arm and the opposite end having openings in it for the person's thumb and fingers so the respective sleeves can be fitted onto the person's arm.
