Rheuma Thumb Brace by OttoBock
|
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. |
