Low-Profile Thumb Stabilizer, offers both stability and additional pressure on the thumb joint carpal-metacarpal capsule. With its unique design, the thumb extension is proximal to the dip joint, allowing for repeat application of point pressure on the joint capsule, relieving pain by reducing edema.
The glove-like design makes it easy to put on without assistance, and the stitching in the web space between the thumb and index finger passively acts like a mild "c" bar to maintain the web space. The basic design encourages a neutral hand position, while the thick, dense beige neoprene composite material, combined with nylon-lycra interior, adds a therapeutic level of force. The splint also features a unique pressure button that can be accurately placed to provide pressure exactly where needed.
A short flexible stay limits radial and palmar abduction of the CMC joint and flexion and extension of the MCP joint. Ideal for relief of CMC and MCP joint pain caused by arthritis.
