Description

Its ring-shaped design uses firm plastic material to provide a high degree of stabilization without completely immobilizing the thumb. This allows much of the thumb’s functional mobility to be preserved while helping reduce discomfort during everyday activities. The material can be ground and thermoplastically molded for individualized adjustment. Separate versions are available for the right and left hand.
