Yes, and this is the question we hear most, because almost every customer has tried a brace that did get in the way. The Thumb Hand Stabilizer is soft and slim, not rigid.

It supports the joint at the base of your thumb without locking the thumb itself, and it leaves your fingertips and thumb tip completely bare. You can keep doing your tasks as usual, just without that pain.

Yes. It fits your left or right wrist. Many customers order two so they have one ready while the other is refreezing.

Yes, and most customers do. At 3mm thick it's the thinnest stabilizer we've found that still holds the joint. Sleeping in it stops you bending the thumb in your sleep, which is when most people re-strain the joint without knowing it. The biggest difference most customers notice is how their thumb feels in the morning.

Snug, not tight. Tighten the wrist strap first, then the palm strap, then the thumb strap last. You should be able to slide one finger under the wrist strap. If your fingertips tingle or change colour, loosen it.

Rigid splints are designed to lock the thumb so the joint can rest. That's appropriate for an acute injury, but it makes it physically impossible to knit, crochet or do any other work properly.

Our Resilea THumb & Wrist Stabilizer does the opposite job: it holds the joint at the base of your thumb so it stops sliding, while leaving every moving part of your hand free. Same goal of joint protection, but opposite method.

Yes, completely. Your fingertips and the very tip of your thumb stay bare and nothing covers the pads. This is the single biggest difference between the Thumb & Wrist Stabilizer and most clinical braces, which immobilize the whole thumb and kill your ability to work with comfort.

Close the Velcro straps first, then hand wash in cool water with mild soap, or put it in a mesh bag on a gentle machine cycle. Air dry flat, away from direct heat — that's what keeps the spica strip and the Velcro like new.
