What are these wrist supports?

I bought these years ago, they're some kind of support that goes over the wrist. I can't remember what they're called or where I got 'em online. All I remember is they are specialized, not some crap from Amazon. Image inside.

I can't remember what they're called. But my hand doctor recommended one to me when I fell while running and partially tore a little cartilage in my wrist. The strap runs through that little notch /bump on your wrist. The pressure in that notch relieves pain and adds support.

It looks like the splint I wore when I had a TFCC tear in my wrist:

Best answer: Wrist Widgets! Here’s the official website. I ordered from here last year and it’s legit.
