Provides direct support for the thumb CMC joint while allowing full finger function Made of thin, 1/16″ (1.6mm) perforated neoprene with a terry cloth liner that helps keep skin cool and comfortable. Reinforced stitching allows the splint to be trimmed below the thumb MP joint if desired. Specifically designed for osteoarthritis and medial subluxation of the thumb CMC joint. Provides gentle compression that helps relieve thumb discomfort associated with CMC joint arthritis and/or instability, tendinitis or repetitive motion. Contoured neoprene strap wraps around the thumb CMC joint and the first metacarpal for direct CMC joint support. Plus sizes are a half size bigger in the hand and a full size larger in thumb circumference to accommodate enlarged thumb conditions. Anti-microbial and is not made with natural rubber latex. Available in Black or Beige. To size, measure palm circumference.

The most recent medium I ordered was a little bit … The most recent medium I ordered was a little bit small for me, but the larges are a little large…. I find the thumb a little high — too restrictive for typing — and since I usually want it a little looser, the velcro strip doesn’t necessarily cover the velcro all the way to the wrist, so the velcro catches on my clothes. Still, it’s my go-to for the arthritis at the base of my thumb, and it also provides protection for the growing irritation at the opposite side of my hand, where it…
It does the job First off, this is neither comfortable nor cool. It is neoprene like a diver’s wet suit. wraping body parts in neoprene is not my idea of comfort. It does not breathe and you will sweat in it.That said, it does a good job of supporting the CMC joint as well as protecting the area from bumps that can be painful when the joint is inflamed. The ability to trim the thumb hole allows for freedom of movement in the IP joint which gives more use of the thumb .
Very comfortable! This splint was recommended by a physical therapist as good second to the hard splint ordered by my orthopedist. It works very well when I am not stressing the thumb/wrist joint and is warmer and somewhat more comfortable than the hard plastic. I can definitely recommend this product. It helps and is comfortable. I am going to order one for my right hand which is not as bad as the left. Ain’t getting old and arthritic fun!!!
