Thumb Support for Thumb Sprains - Aligns thumb correctly
Overviews and Uses
The thumb support is a lightweight design that is built with the painful thumb in mind. It’s breathable neoprene material means it can be worn comfortably all day. Along the thumb is a removable metal bar to support and maintain the alignment of the thumb joints from the wrist to the tip of the thumb. It aims to protect the joint from overuse and any strain.
Having a rigid metal bar reduces unwanted movement without having to rest it all together or avoid things. It continues to allow typing, gripping and driving without straining the thumb.
Whether using the brace to completely rest the joint or to continue with activities- this brace offers rigidity along the thumb joints, offering protection through movement and support with rest. It limits the risk of re-injury and worsening of symptoms.
