The prescription, explained.

What is this?
Carpal Softwear is the SOME DOSE category for wrist and hand wearables — cuffs, wristlets, fingerless gloves, and hand coverings. The carpal region sustains the most sustained mechanical pressure of any joint during keyboard and device-based work. The textile here is designed for chronic contact.
Who is it for?
Prescribed for writers, developers, designers — anyone whose dominant hand is on a device for more than six hours a day. Cold metal wristbands, synthetic watch straps, and bare skin in air-conditioned environments are the target conditions this category displaces.
What does it cost?
Carpal specimens are priced from €45 to €110, EUR, VAT included. Made-to-order specimens ship within three to four weeks. In-stock specimens ship from Ireland within two business days.
How does it work?
Select by hand dominance and keyboard posture. Wristlets are sized to the circumference of the wrist at 1cm above the wrist bone. Fingerless gloves accommodate full tactile contact with surfaces while providing coverage from wrist to second knuckle. Sizing charts are listed per product.

[ FAQ ]

Common questions.

What is Carpal Softwear?
Carpal Softwear is SOME DOSE's category for wrist and hand wearables. The carpal tunnel region sits between the distal forearm and the metacarpal bones. For anyone performing repetitive fine-motor tasks — typing, drawing, swiping — this region sustains the most continuous physical contact with hard surfaces, making textile coverage there a functional prescription, not a fashion choice.
What materials are used in Carpal specimens?
Carpal specimens use organic cotton-jersey, fine Merino knit, and woven cotton twill depending on the specimen. The priority is zero-elastic waistband contact — no constriction at the wrist that compounds repetitive strain. Material composition and stretch specifications are listed per product.
How is a Carpal specimen sized?
Measure the circumference of the wrist at 1cm above the wrist bone. Wristlets and cuffs follow this measurement directly. Fingerless gloves also require the hand circumference at the widest point (across the knuckles). Both measurements are listed in the sizing table on each product page.
