Review on BraceAbility Thumb Splint: Immobilize & Stabilize Thumb Joints for Arthritis, Trigger Thumb, Tendonitis & Sprain Relief - Small Right by Travis Smith

SMS relief! - Finger Splints

This is the best, least bulky and best value CMC splint I could find. After a full 9 hour day at the computer I had no pain. All the other bandages I've tried don't offer enough support, or there are too many velcro straps, or it's a full forearm brace, or it's very expensive. I had to file down some of the rough edges and I added trimmings from the provided cushion to some high friction areas to personalize the fit. I was a little worried about how the plastic piece would fit my wrist, but after stretching a bit and adding a cushioning strip, I almost forgot I was even wearing this thing. Other reviews mention how difficult the velcro is to open and it's true this thing STICKS! The strap has an elastic band and I was able to find the right spot so I could leave the velcro in place, put the brace on and off and still give me the CMC support I need. In the current pandemic, frequent hand washing is a must and because the material is non-absorbent plastic, I can wash my hands and use sanitizer all day every day without having to take it off over and over again. While these braces aren't 100% perfect, they come close enough for me.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Hard to say
