New Upgraded 2 in 1 Thumb Brace, Removable Thumb Spica Splint Left Right Hand with 3 Level Stability, Reversible Thumb Support for CMC, De Quervain’s Tendonitis, Trigger Thumb (S/M, Grey)

I don't know how this thumb thing happened, but it's agonizing and irritating. Apparently bracing it over night can help. This is a very comfortable, firm brace for either thumb. It has both a metal and a plastic bracing structure in it. You can remove them or use both, and the metal one can be bent to adjust to fit. I left it straight to completely immobilize my thumb. The velcro straps are excellent. They hold firm yet are not too hard to pull open! I got the larger size, and the strap does go all the way around my wrist and onto the brace, but it's pretty stretchy. It's long enough to fit a much much larger wrist well. You can undo the strap entirely, set your finger, and then do the strap up. The strap for the thumb is about 3/4" wide, and can hold the thumb tip still, or allow a little wiggle room. There is a 3rd adjustable strap at the thumb web. You can leave this loose, or put it at an angle. I like that this strap is adjustable. All of the straps have edges bound in soft material. The inner side is soft microfiber with nice padding. It's breathable and can be worn for hours comfortably. I can actually drive while wearing this brace. It's liveable. My thumb feels better due to wearing this brace. Not healed, but protected. A good start towards healing. This brace is worth the money for sure. I got the lighter grey color. It's unobtrusive, and visible on dark or light surfaces (I kept losing the black one on our dark sheets lol) The brace doesn't add a lot of bulk, it's easy to pull on most long sleeves over it. I like this brace.

I really, REALLY like this splint. I've recommended it to many with thumb/UCL pain that many get that (usually associated with over-use of the thumb in the same way). I'm a cross stitcher so the "pinch the needle is my issue. At this point I'm wearing it to prevent further damage to a torn ligament in my right thumb that I'll be having surgery on on 04/25/25. I LOVE its accessibility on how strongly you need to set it to (using the 2 internal (and removable) parts to the splint, plus the splint with neither plastic nor metal piece is pretty good at stabilization on its own. I recommend it to all my physical therapist/occupational therapist that I see frequently for this kind of damage.I have both in right now (right wrist/thumb) for max stability not just to avoid further damage but to train myself to do things left handed as I'm going to be in a cast (completely immobilizing my right thumb and wrist, and forearm) for a while, then a fairly rigid brace (made to fit me), then on and on for about year (including PT) which should be... interesting since I'm STRONGLY right handed so I'm wearing the brace ALSO gives me (what I hope will be) a fairly solid reminder when I try to do stuff with my right hand and focus on being unable to just switch to my right hand when I'm not paying attention. This brace helps with that IMMENSELY. I like that that the brace covers the wrist a bit too since I've also got wrist pain from my injuries.My ONLY complaint (not worth losing a star) is I wish there was some sort of "tag" on the brace itself (or if there is such a thing and someone could tell me where!) that says what size each is (if there is one, I haven't found it). I bought one in each size because the sizing kinda overlapped and honestly I feel like they're pretty much the same fit and would like to return one since I don't need two...the bag has the size but I'm prone to losing things and can't find the proper bags, and if I did I still don't think I'd be able to decide which brace goes in which bag. Mildly annoying but not the end of the world.Great at immobilizing thumb, OR adjusting internal bracing to make a bit softer. Very versatile. Highly recommend for "skier's thumb" as it's called (I don't ski but use a manual wheelchair for a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and (which can cause regular dislocations) and my right thumb was sick of it as it was constantly dislocated it as I pushed myself (so I've upgraded the style of my push rims so I can't catch my thumb in) but for now I have a partially torn UCL that I'll have to learn to be left handed for about 3-4 months while it heals then lots of occupational therapy.I'm also a cross stitcher so it is highly likely this is some sort of "repetitive movement" injury as well as self-ambulating in my manual chair as my left hand is giving me grief now that I've switched to only stitching on the left hand.Sigh. You just can't win!----ETAUpdate 05/03/25 and am now post op and it turned out I'd actually fully snapped the UCL in the thumb and am in a lot of pain from surgery 8 days post op and I've got another week before the cast they put on me after surgery which is SUPER uncomfortable (to say the least...they offered prescription strength ibuprofen (aka 600mg) which I turned down as I have plenty of the 200mg ones at home. Sheesh you'd think you at least offer Vicodin (a very low-strength opioid but better than IBUPROFEN). Stupid "war on drugs" here in the US. So if you start getting "hypermobile" at the UCL (I highly recommend looking up the ligaments in the thumb on Google images or just search "what does it feel like to have a torn thumb ligament" with loss of strength in a thumb I HIGHLY recommend wearing one of these splints to at least stabilize your thumb(s) until you can see an orthopedist or orthopedic surgeon and highly recommend an MRI on the painful thumb since it's not just the thumb bone but also a tear of the ligament which won't show up on an x-ray you really want to get that MRI. Insurance (at least Medicaid in my (US) state requires an x-ray before doing more expensive imaging (aka MRI) that will show soft tissue injury. I highly recommend it!Stick to the splint until you can get that imaging. Keep a log of each day and what the average "pain level" you experienced and where the pain is (I know everyone hates the 1-10 pain scale but give it a go. It'll prove to your Dr that you're taking this very seriously and you might get bumped higher up the line for the referrals/scans. Seriously post op time plus all the PT/OT after surgery is no joke!

- Easy to get on and off- Keeps thumb in place with enough wiggle room to still kind of grip things- Like the plates - provide more support and pushback into the flexor/abductor muscles, haven’t removed the plates, but is an option (one plastic, one metal, can be removed from the bottom by pulling apart a hidden Velcro patch)- Wouldn’t mind a wider strap between thumb and forefinger - oooh, with a plate of some sort in there!- The whole of the device twists toward the palm of my hand, requiring adjusting now & then, not a deal-breaker- Wrist band is for sure itchy. Initially thought this was b.c the Velcro was touching skin, but not the case.- Will be looking for another one b.c I’d like a slightly wider wrist band- Not a bad lil guy for temporary use, helped figure out what I’m ultimately aiming forLearn as I go

Used for MCM tendinitis. This one was agony for the first 4 hr shift, then time off, repeat. After 24 hrs, swelling went down and aluminum immobilizer was working. Only thing I see for improvement is the fabric being lean, i.e., especially the skinny strap around thumb as it seems under stress. Otherwise, I'm buying another!

Nicely designed, and sewn. Removable aluminum and plastic stiffeners are able to provide any stiffness required. I use mine without either stiffener.The adjustments are velcro. I trimmed the sharp few corners with small scissors. Then put glue along all the velcro edges. I now do not wear easily snagged fabric clothing when using the support. So I only ruined one set of compression hoisery.

Well made but the thumb compartment is too short. It doesn't extend past the knuckle, so it can't prevent the thumb from bending. I have small hands and ordered S/M. Have to return

I was looking for a left handed brace for my thimb and this more than met my expectations. It’s lightweight, not cumbersome at all and is just what I needed to rest my thumb. I have the pink one which is fun too.

I am very impressed with this item. Very comfortable and supportive. The metal plate can be bent to match the curvature of the thumb. I spent over $100 on the hard plastic brace also sold on Amazon. No comparison in comfort and support.
