Who Can Use the Oppo Health Thumb Support?
The Oppo Thumb Support can provide stability and reduce pain related to a number of underlying causes. We particularly recommend the Oppo Thumb Support for:
- Thumb sprain
- Thumb arthrosis
- Post-operative care
- De Quervain's disease
The Oppo Health Thumb Support is ideal for those who require a support that doesn't limit movement of the palm and fingers.
Metal Thumb Stay For Strong Support
Post-injury, the joint and soft tissues of the thumb need stability to fully recover. The metal stay of the Oppo Health Thumb Support immobilises the CMC (base of the thumb) and the MCP joints (the large joint in the hand where the finger bones meet the hand bones) to reduce pain and discomfort and allow your thumb to heal. The curved design of the Oppo Thumb Support is contoured to the radial side curve of the wrist (the side closest to the thumb), providing strong support to ease joint stress, reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
How Comfortable Is the Oppo Thumb Support?
The Oppo Thumb Support is constructed from a mesh of nylon and elastic for extra softness, comfort and flexibility. The meticulous design of the inner layer makes putting on and removing the support easy. With optimal density of vents, the Oppo Thumb Support promotes air circulation to dissipate the build-up of heat whilst also enhancing fit and alignment to wrist line for optimal all-day comfort.
Preventative and Post-Operative Care
The Oppo Health Elite Thumb Support prevents overstretching and injury recurrence for complete thumb protection, allowing you to avoid further aggravation of existing injuries whilst you heal. The hook and loop straps at the wrist and thumb ensure that your support stays securely in place to effectively reduce swelling and inflammation.
