What To Look For When Choosing a Thumb Brace

Range of Motion or Immobilization. Many braces offer a set range of motion that offers more mobility and can be worn during various activities, while other braces can completely immobilize the thumb or even wrist. The RhizoLoc Thumb Stabilizer supports the thumb while allowing the rest of the hand to have full range of motion. The adjustable settings allow users to determine how loose or how tight they want the brace for more comfort and mobility.

Proper Fit. Many braces are offered in one size, and if a brace fits wrong, it can actually lead to more harm. The RhizoLoc Brace is available in two sizes: small and large. Both sizes have adjustable features to customize the brace to the user's preferences.

Breathable Material. Because a thumb brace is worn on the hand, it will come in contact with many substances, objects, and germs. Hands also get sweaty, so having a material that doesn't absorb sweat is important to prevent the growth of microbes. This brace has moisture-wicking material that keeps the hand comfortable and dry while also preventing microbial growth.

Benefits of a Thumb Brace

Using a comfortable and supportive thumb brace like the RhizLoc provides numerous benefits. This thumb brace has straps that can be adjusted to offer compression, which is used to help reduce inflammation. Stabilizing the thumb relieves stress on the irritated area and can protect it during activities. Reducing inflammation and stabilizing the thumb can aid in the body's natural healing process and reduce joint pain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are there any straps that go around the index/middle/pinky or ring fingers?

No, the strap wraps around the thumb only.

What size is small?

Size 1 is small, size 2 is large.
