The Rhizomed® soft Thumb Splint provides comfortable immobilisation and support for the thumb, particularly the metacarpophalangeal and saddle joints.
Comfortable Immobilisation and Wear
The Rhizomed® soft Thumb Splint is engineered for effective immobilisation while prioritising wearer comfort. It features a large opening, which significantly eases the process of applying and removing the splint, proving especially beneficial for individuals with swollen hands or those in post-operative care, helping to minimise any associated pain. The use of breathable material in its construction ensures good wearing comfort, making it suitable for extended use, whether during the day or throughout the night as prescribed.
Targeted Support and Stability
This thumb splint incorporates an integrated PU-plastic stabilisation element that reliably immobilises the thumb's metacarpophalangeal joint and saddle joint. To further enhance stability and allow for a personalised fit, it includes an individually adjustable Velcro strap. This combination ensures that the thumb is securely supported, which can help alleviate pain and promote healing by restricting movement in the affected joints.
Medical Indications
The Rhizomed® soft Thumb Splint is indicated for a variety of conditions affecting the thumb. These include irritations of the thumb saddle joint and/or the proximal metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, such as rhizarthrosis. It is also suitable for treating sprains (for example, skier's thumb), addressing ligament instability, and for use during post-operative recovery. This splint is intended for the orthotic fitting of the thumb area and should only be applied to intact skin.
Sizing and Care
The Rhizomed® soft Thumb Splint is available in two main sizes to accommodate different wrist circumferences and can be specified for either the left or right hand, ensuring a precise fit. It is designed for ease of use, allowing for comfortable wear both during the day and at night. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the splint; remember to close all Velcro fastenings before washing.
