When suffering from thumb arthritis or rhizarthrosis – (which is arthritis affecting the joint at the base of the thumb, even sleeping, or resting can be painful. In addition, thumb overuse during the day can also favour the onset of joint pain at night. Thumb splints and braces are recommended to relieve night joint pain caused by basal thumb arthritis. The EPITACT® rigid thumb support for arthritis comfortably immobilises the thumb in its ideal restful position. This position limits the pressures applied to the affected joint and therefore relieves pain. By keeping your thumb in a neutral position, this thumb brace for arthritis relieves pain and slows the progression of symptoms. Whilst sleeping, the EPITACT rigid thumb brace also protects the painful joint from rubbing against sheets and covers, whilst maintaining the thumb in a resting neutral position. The EPITACT Thumb brace is rigid, yet lightweight thanks to patented semi-rigid reinforcements (only located around the thumb and not on the whole hand) which helps the brace avoid disturbing your sleep. For ease of use, a self-gripping strap allows the user to custom fit around the wrist, avoiding the painful area of the basal thumb joint. How does it work? Using patented technology, the thumb brace for arthritis provides optimal comfort and effectiveness thanks to: • semi-rigid and pre-shaped reinforcements that effectively immobilise your joint and adapt to the curves of your hand for more comfort. • A self-gripping strap around the wrist for custom fit. • a thin and soft fabric that provides comfort and breathability.
