From its condition you'd think I'd had this orthosis for over a year. But it's been less than a month. sticking to the material that makes up the orthosis, thus causing a contraction, which is the purple color of this product. Velcro almost ruined the outer material. Not only is it ugly, it's also not functional. The small velcro that is attached over the thumb can no longer hold the material because the velcro pulls the material too loose. Another issue is that the material started to separate in the thumb hole after a gentle hand wash. Lining, gray back and inner cushion are now offset. In addition, the logo has come off on the outside. For the first few days I loved this item as it really helped with my carpal tunnel issues. The price and reviews gave me hope that this is the product I need. Now I have the same pain, broken braces and a big disappointment.
