CMC Thumb Brace - Beige, Left Hand, Medium | NC79584

Originally, I went by the instructions to measure across the knuckle for the brace. I ordered a Small/Med & it was too small. It cut the circulation off in my thumb. I sent this back and ordered a Medium, which fits perfectly. The strap that fits around the thumb adds a great deal of stability and there is no hard metal in the brace. I personally like this because it's soft yet stable. I wear it only at night right now because I recently had a cortisone shot, which alleviates the pain totally, for 3-4 months. My doctor and I talked about surgery, which would be a permanent fix, however, the down time would be significant - 4 weeks of complete disuse of left hand, (I'm left handed). Plus 4 more weeks of very little use. Complete healing would take a total of 1 year. I was all for it in the office, however, have reconsidered since I've read all about the surgery and down-time involved. I think the brace will help with delaying the cortisone injections.

The best support for thumb and wrist support. I found more relief than expected when wearing it. The support was worth every penny, so much so that I bought a second one

These are the most comfortable braces I’ve ever had compared with many I tried. I’ve had a pair over ten years that helped me with my arthritic thumb and painful wrist. Couldn’t say enough about their quality and durability. Recently, I bought one for my right hand and so far it does what it is supposed to do. However, the one for my left hand that I received on July 31st, the stitches on the straps coming out with only few times use! It may be defective, but I am still disappointed! Honestly, I expected more from this brand. I gave it a 4 because of that otherwise I would have given it a 5!

Best thumb brace I have ever worn. The built in supports are NOT metal, so it is much more comfortable. Another plus is that it hand washable. Measure accurately and your thumb will thank you.

I have pretty bad arthritis in both of my thumbs, and this was recommended by my physical therapist. I purchased this one to replace my original one, as it had seen better days. I love the ability to adjust if you want it looser or tighter around your wrist and then with that extra piece of material that you flip around and lock it in, that is also part of the adjustment. I'm able to use my hand and get the support that my CMC joint needs.

They work well and you can drive with them

I have always been small-boned. I started out ordering a small plus due to swelling in the thumb and wrist. That was way too small. I returned that and ordered a medium plus. That was way too big, but I desperately needed something, so I kept it. I went ahead and ordered a medium. It was way too small. It would not wrap around my wrist without the velcro rubbing on my wrist.

I have arthritis and Raynaud’s in both hands. A flair up started as pain and weakness in both thumbs and wrist joints but while the left remained a little sore, the right progressively got worse and eventually the thumb triggered before that joint froze. My chiropractor was able to give me some relief but recommended I see a hand therapist to regain movement. My “bad hand” is improving considerably, but when I told my hand therapist my “good hand” was getting sore from over use, she had me try on one of these braces for size. She recommended I get this specific brace in the correct size to use on the overworked hand to give it support. She said the material will be warming on those joints, and the tightness can be adjusted so it wouldn’t make circulation worse with my Raynaud’s. She was so right It is the most comfortable brace I have ever had on. The material warms my wrist and thumb, gives it strength that I had lost, and adjust to fit all around, so on days my joints are swollen it is never too tight. I am going to buy one for my “bad hand”. Other braces I have tried (several) have been too tight or restricted all movement. With arthritis and Raynaud’s if my joints stay still it is much more difficult and painful to try and move them. I am purchasing one for my other hand.

I bought one splint 4 months ago but the the sticky joint is no longer sticky any more. The strap comes off easily all the time. The splint is no longer working. Does the product have any warranty? I cannot find warranty info anywhere. If not, could you send me a free replacement since I got this one only 4-5 months ago? I am aware you are just a distributor, not the manufacturer. But the philosophy is that if I buy a product that has defects from Walmart, I go to Walmart for change or refund; I do not have to contact the manufacturer in this regard.

Kinda floppy doses not help with swelling

Great size. Works great!

I had to return, it was too small. Had to pay $23.00 in shipping, not impressed. First time ever, I have had to pay for a return on Amazon.
