Features & Benefits
The Elastic Thumb Spica is a simple, beige elasticated thumb splint specifically developed to restrict motion at the carpometacarpal (CMC) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints while preserving full mobility of the interphalangeal (IP) joint.
Ideal for managing conditions such as thumb sprains, ligament injuries, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, or arthritic discomfort, this low-profile brace provides comfortable, semi-rigid support during everyday tasks.
The splint features a removable malleable thumb stay, which can be shaped for optimal joint alignment and tailored fit. Its touch-and-close fastenings allow for easy donning and doffing, making it suitable for users with reduced hand dexterity.
At 7” in length, this support provides ample wrist and thumb stability while remaining breathable and discreet enough for daily or work use under clothing.
