The rheuma thumb support is designed to
provide good support of the thenar muscle
(body of muscle on palm of hand just below
the thumb). It is made of a special,
comfortable material that breathes and
utilizes adjustable hook and loop closure
over the thumb and wrist. This thumb support
has a flexible spring to stabilize the CMC
and MCP joints.
Indications: Osteoarthroses,
arthritis, ligament injuries to the CMC or
MCP joint, mild hyperextension problems.
Application
Instructions for the Rheuma
Thumb Support
1. Close the thumb strap, then slide the support on the
thumb, covering the whole thumb.
2. Tighten the wrist strap by pulling it down 45°, then
back up around the base of the thumb, and then attach.
3. If necessary, tighten the thumb strap more to provide
better support over the thenar muscle.
4. Adjust the spring if needed, accessible through the
open pocket in the lower end.
Washing Instructions: Remove the spring and
close hook and loop before washing. Hand wash in cold water with
mild detergent. Let air dry.
