Thumb Brace Product Variations
Resting the thumb is important; however, if complete rest isn't an option, a thumb stabilization brace is worn to mitigate movement and add compression, treating inflammation while adding support.
Vitality Medical offers a variety of thumb braces with compression straps or thumb radial stays to immobilize the thumb. These features are beneficial when there is a bone fracture or a patient must prevent movement to reduce thumb joint pain./p>
- Wrist-Thumb Supports: Provide compression therapy to the wrist and along the thumb side of the wrist (called the saddle joint) where the inflamed tendons are located. An example of this style is the Neoprene Wrist-Thumb Support. The neoprene material is breathable, and its adjustable strap customizes compression and support without being tight or losing the full dexterity of the fingers. DJ Orthopedics' Universal Thumb-O-Prene Wraparound Thumb Support is a similar style that has a comfortable, low-profile custom fit. It offers wraparound support and secure hook-and-loop closure.
- Wrist-Thumb Splint: Feature larger profiles with circumferential straps to add support and compression, along with a palmar and a radial stay to splint the thumb. The Select Series Wrist-Thumb Support uses fastening technology with a thumb splint for thumb immobilization.
- Wrist-Thumb Spica Splint: These splints provide treatment by applying a soft, shell support to stabilize a broken or injured thumb or to assist with healing after thumb surgery. The DJ Orthopedics ThumbSPICA features a soft foam shell with an outer compression strap to hold the thumb in the correct position.
- Wrist-Hand-Thumb Splint Orthosis: These splints are similar to thumb spicas but offer more rigid thumb immobilization supports. The designated thumb opening stabilizes the thumb, and the adjacent fingers are unrestricted for free movement.
