Vive Thumb & Wrist Brace for Right or Left Hand - Spica Splint Brace for Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis, & Arthritis in Hands or Fingers - Compression Support for Women Men - Stabilizer Relief for Bowling

I misdiagnosed myself, thinking that the formidable pain I was experiencing in my left thumb was the result of eating too much red meat and resulting in gout. The pain began radiating through my wrist so I ordered a Sammons Preston Thumb Spica Wrist Brace to stabilize both. While the wrist brace component worked extremely well, my thumb continued to wobble and cause pain. So I decided to order this Vive Arthritis Thumb Splint for a whopping $12.99. What a difference in stabilization!!! Putting it on reminded me of the full arm cast I had put on 50 years ago while playing basketball in graduate school. A hard pass caught my left thumb with enough force to dislocate the thumb, resulting in it hanging off my fist. Of course I was with a bunch of guys and tried to "tough it out". I gave my wrist a good hard shake to try to put it back into place -- which failed miserably. Fortunately we were playing on a basketball court within 100 feet of the hospital. The last thing that I remember was the ER doctor counting back from 5. It was probably at 3 when he put it back into place and I passed out cold. It's been a long time since this thumb has bothered me so that wasn't my first guess as to cause of pain. However, putting on this Vive Arthritis Thumb Splint stabilized it immediately and gave me a sigh of relief. What a stroke of luck to have found something that worked so quickly! It is easy to put on, stabilizes both wrist and thumb, and most of it is composed of breathable material. That's important since we live in hot and humid Southwest Florida. My wife was so impressed when she watched me typing this review (with the brace on) that she wants me to order one for her right thumb. She also has a Sammons Preston wrist brace but can't wear it at work because she is a Nurse Practitioner and it limits her ability to perform her job. She also wants one in beige since it isn't so noticeable. I hope that it helps her as much as it has delivered relief to me.

Looks like described. Fit a little bigger, but i got a pediatric sized hands. Metal support are sturdy. Supports wrist and tumb. Used it about 3 months when wear and tear started.

Good support, comfortable but the beige is very light, more yellow and gets dirty quickly. I don’t recommend the beige, but I would purchase in a darker color.

I recently started feeling the symptoms from " De Quervain's" syndrome (tendonitis) in both my thumbs and wrists. Its a surprisingly painful condition and creates pain not only in the thumb, but in the wrist as well. I have a medium size hand and the brace is adjustable and very comfortable, secure and soft inside. You won't need to wear a stockinette with it. All three Velcro straps are very wide, strong and adjuatable. There is a brace and strap for the thumb, one across the palm and another across the wrist. The brace immobilizes my hand in just the right places and just the right amount. Although the thumb is isolated and somewhat impeded, which is the idea, the brace still allows for typing and texting. The thumb couldn't be tightened as much as I would've liked, so I wrapped some 2" self-adhesive bandage around it to make it snugger. You can also try some medical cloth tape or try stuffing some cotton balls inside. Amazingly, I felt instant relief as soon as I put on the braces. I couldn't believe it. I've been wearing both of them for 2 weeks now and they are both holding up very well. The Velcro and stitching are still intact, although I can tell the material is stretching out a bit, but that can be resolved by tightening the two straps around the hand. I really love these braces and they've helped me a great deal and I've even kept them on when I sleep. I actually hate to take them off because they feel so good. It reminds me of the pain relief after a doctor has casted a broken bone. These braces, along with thumb and wrist exercises, have reduced my pain significantly. For anyone interested in trying physical therapy exercises, there are some great videos on YouTube created by physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons, that demonstrate various hand exercises specifically for De Quervain syndrome. Great product and pain relief too! Don't hesitate to buy it to relieve your pain.

I managed to overexert my bottom thumb joint, the one where my thumb meets the rest of my hand. It was really, really painful to the touch, and I knew a doctor would tell me to keep it completely immobilized until it healed. I read a *lot* of reviews before I selected this one. I have small hands and wrists so anything that's "one-size-fits-all" is usually too big for me and this Vive brace size small is perfect for my hand. The supports on either side of my thumb (most braces have just one support) keep it very, very still. While a lot of reviews for similar braces talk about the velcro being too hard to undo or wearing out immediately, the straps on this brace hold just right... not too hard to remove, but durable enough to stand up to regular use. I've been wearing it non-stop for 4 days now including while sleeping. It's very comfortable with no spots that bind or rub blisters. My thumb already feels *much* better. Soon I probably won't need it, but it will be great to have around in case I strain my thumb again.

Diseñó cómodo y práctico para instalar, mi mamá esta feliz con su férula.

A very nice supportive splint. Wide strap at the thumb part and comfortable when on. I will say the ad states freedom of movement which is a bit misleading. Don't get me wrong, it does what is is supposed to and supports and protects, but the thumb is very much restricted. Not the the point of not being able to do anything, but it does limit the thumb considerably. It depends what you are looking for. If you need the thumb to have limited movement then it's perfect. If you need the thumb to have a good range of movement maybe pick something a little less robust. I will say though that once on it's comfortable and does the job. I have arthritis in my wrist and the thumb is in agony whenever I do something. With this on the pain is reduced considerably and my ability to use my hand is restored almost back to normal. I still have pain, but it's very minor compared to without it on. I was tempted to drop the rating to 4 stars due to the lack of choice in colour, I wanted black, got beige. Then I thought dropping the rating for something like that was wrong as the actual function and build was exactly what I wanted and the colour was the least of my worries. The reality is I'd have worn pink with yellow polka dots if it worked, and it certainly does.

It is good product. Go for it.
