Wrist/Thumb Support – to support primarily the thumb from a range of painful and degenerative conditions.

The new wrist and thumb support features a heat mouldable thermoplastic insert for a customised patient fit. Designed to stabilise the CMC and MCP joint of the thumb.

The wrist joint is a complex structure, consisting of eight carpal bones and the distal part of the ulnar and radial bones. These are the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints. The ulnar bone doesn’t directly articulate with the carpal bones. The triangular fibrocartilaginous complex (TFCC) is located between the ulna and carpals. With the disc, the radius bears 60% of loading; without the disc, the radius transmits 95% of the loading.

KEY FEATURES:

• – Relieves pain and stabilises thumb.
• – Thermoplastic support stabilises thumb.
