Rigid thumb orthosis is indicated to immobilize the thumb in the resting position by opening the commissure between the index finger and thumb. The alignment of the bones limits the forces exerted on the trapeziometacarpal joint and relieves pain. For use at night or in any situation where the hand is not in use. Regular use of this orthosis helps to relieve joint pain at the base of the thumb and helps to limit the progression of rhizarthrosis. Thanks to its design, it keeps the thumb in a resting position and adapts perfectly to the morphology of the hand. The self-adhesive tape provides a perfect fit to the wrist.
Its lycra coating, washable and water resistant makes it perfect for water sports such as diving or nautical activities. It also contains an antimicrobial treatment that helps to avoid infections or external bacteria. Its radiolucent fabric allows x-rays to be taken without removing it, so you can check the progress of the fracture or injury without having to move the injury itself.
