Dr. Arthritis Essentials Thumb Brace, Medical Thumb Splint Right & Left Hand, Wrist and Thumb Support, Dequervains Tenosynovitis Splint, Thumb Spica Splint, Thumb Support for Arthritis (Pink - Single)

I purchased my original support some months ago, after my original NHS one gave up the ghost. I was prescribed the NHS brace as I have osteoarthriitis and deterioration of the trapezium in the wrist which is rubbing against the metacarpal of my thumb. I get a lot of pain when not wearing the brace and wear it most of the time, except most nights. The NHS support whilst doing the job was ugly and cumbersome. The Dr Arthritis brace was far superior. It's much less bulky, lighter and comfortable and looks so much better. I have a lot more mobility of my wrist and hand whilst still isolating the offending area. I do a lot of yoga, and prior to getting the Dr Arthritis brace I had to balance on knuckles when doing moves like Downward Dog. Now I can do this palm down without pain. A few weeks ago I contacted Dr Arthritis Customer Services as the velcro holding the brace at the top of the thumb had lost its 'adhesion'. I wrote to ask if I could purchase a new brace without the information booklet at a reduced cost. I received a lovely reply within a few hours saying that the velcro should not have stopped working so soon, as the brace was made to last. They replaced my original brace which I received in just a few days later. Since I received the new one it has been well tested. I've just come back from an 8 day yoga retreat and it enabled me to have a great time. It is wonderful to deal with such an efficient and caring company. I can recommend them highly.

Tolle Qualität, angenehmer Sitz - hält was es verspricht. Leider ist das beigefügte Handbook nur auf Englisch geschrieben. Aber anhand der Bilder kann man die vorgeschlagenen Übungen auch so verstehen.

Diagnosed with de Quervain‘s tenosynovitis. This brace provides pretty firm stability while I am working. My doctor provided a great brace however it was too big when using at work. This provides the needed stability and the size works well with repetitive mousing.

The thumb splint supports, left and right, have been fine so far in the few days I have used them (I use both left and right hand splints). There is quite a bit of restriction for everyday modern tasks but by their nature the splints are designed to do a job so it is necessary to trade that off. I have nothing to compare against as this is a first time use (scaphoid and ligament injuries due to an accident) but quality seems very good and easy to fasten without straining the injuries doing so. The only negatives I would report at this stage are: - One size/option for either hand works OK but one side looks slightly odd compared to the other. I.e. it is essentially a right hand glove/fit that can be adapted (easily) to the left hand in reverse but it would be better if it was more neutral each way. Specifically the Velcro fasteners can only be rotated clockwise (ideally the left hand use would be anticlockwise by means of a reversible velcro). - If fixed too tight the circulation can be compromised leading to aches and numbness. The difficulty is it needs to be done up fairly tight to provide the correct support to the thumb. Too tight and it can restrict so it is a balancing act to find the right medium. Overall, I believe I made a good choice for this product which seemed to be a high quality product/design at a competitive price with good reviews to base the decision on. I would recommend this product fully with the caveat I have no other supplier to compare it against and have only had a few days of road testing to date. Happy so far.
