Description

Your thumb and its associated joints play a key role in your everyday life. Taken for granted until problems occur, we use our thumbs for countless tasks usually without even knowing. Grasping objects, using scissors, opening bottles and jars, dressing, operating tools and machinery and many many more. Even if you are aware of all these activities and their reliance on your thumb, you probably, up until now did not appreciate how the first carpometacarpal or “CMC” joint in your hand allows this all to happen. Your CMC joint is where your thumb (metacarpal) bone meets your wrist (carpal) bone. And often due to age or over use, this joint can become worn and damaged, causing a great deal of pain and discomfort as you try to complete those common tasks mentioned above. The condition is thumb arthritis (also know as CMC arthritis or basal joint arthritis). It's due to inflammation in the joint that causes stiffness and pain and that that makes it difficult to use your thumb in a normal way, The use of a good quality thumb splint whilst completing painful tasks can help reduce swelling, protect the joint from further damage and thereby minimise the pain. he CMC Ortho Support provides vital stability to the basal joint of the thumb (CMC-1) whilst maintaining good thumb functionality. The innovative design delivers superior support through the adjustable body of the splint, blended with soft edge materials to provide a highly functional and supremely comfortable support that is easy to wear and easy to clean. It has been designed to provide maximum support with minimum inconvenience, allowing optimal hand functionality without pain or loss of strength. Recommended by Health Professionals, the innovative design has led to many physiotherapists and occupational therapists recommending this style of support over the traditional thumb brace which offers significantly less stability and are far less convenient to wear. Available for right hand and left hand
