Thumb Braces

From tendonitis and nerve issues to fractures and jarred joints, your thumb may be a small and simple part of your body, but if injured it can stop you performing even the most simple tasks easily. Wearing a thumb splint to keep it stable is one of the best ways to take care of it, making sure it's stable and recovering while you can focus on everything else.

Bauerfeind have pioneered work in thumb splints by utilising lightweight aluminium alloys with comfortable padding and anatomical unloading fro a completely customisable thumb splint right out of the box. Have a look at our range of thumb braces to make sure you're taking care of this little digit.

Why a thumb brace but nothing for the fingers?

The thumb plays a unique and important role in your hand. It's the only digit that goes straight to the wrist, meaning that movement from your lower arm to the tips of your fingers almost always involve the thumb. Keeping this part of the hand immobilised/restricted can provide considerable pain relief and comfort.

Can I still use my hand while wearing this?

The Beauty of our thumb supports is that they don't restrict the fingers at all. In fact, they still allow use of the top part of the thumb, so you can still type, grab and even write with the hand and get back to daily life as normal without pain.

What injuries do these actually treat?

There's a wide range of injuries and conditions that affect the thumb which can be easily cared for by a thumb brace. These include

Tendonitis (skier's thumb)
Arthritis
Fractures
Joint pain
Nerve problems
De Quervaiyns tenosynovitis
Post-op recovery
