Rhizosplint

The RHIZOSPLINT® by SPORLASTIC is a rhizarthrosis orthosis designed for immobilization of the thumb metacarpophalangeal and carpometacarpal joints. Its thermally moldable material allows individualized adjustment while stabilizing the thumb and preserving radial wrist mobility.

Separate right- and left-hand versions are available.
