Relieve rhizarthrosis pain with a flexible, thin, and comfortable brace.The Epitact flexible thumb brace keeps the thumb immobilized while maintaining hand mobility for your daily activities.
When the base of the thumb becomes tender—especially in cases of rhizarthrosis—everyday movements can quickly become uncomfortable. This flexible brace acts as a discreet guide that helps the thumb return to a resting position, while still allowing the hand to move freely. This allows you to continue your activities without feeling the constant discomfort caused by repetitive micro-movements.
It works by using technology that limits the stress placed on the joint. Imagine a shock absorber that cushions impacts every time you use your thumb: here, the fabric and silicone tendon play this role to reduce microtrauma and protect the joint. This mechanical action helps relieve pain throughout the day.
Unlike a rigid splint, this orthosis does not completely immobilize the thumb. It accommodates your natural movements while controlling them. You can grasp an object, write, or use your phone without excessive restriction, all while benefiting from continuous support that helps keep the thumb in a resting position.
Its slim and lightweight design makes it easy to wear under clothing or with everyday accessories. You’ll hardly notice it’s there, yet it provides targeted relief to the painful area. This discretion encourages regular wear, which is essential for promoting joint comfort on a daily basis.
User studies show that the majority of users experience a noticeable improvement in comfort. This orthosis thus becomes a valuable ally between flare-ups or at the first signs of thumb osteoarthritis.
To optimize care, it may be beneficial to combine this device with a Donjoy Ergoform Thumb Splint—especially at night—to complement joint rest and enhance overall protection of the thumb.
Instructions for Use
Wash the brace before first use to ensure optimal hygiene. Put it on by correctly positioning your thumb in the designated slot, then adjust it so that it fits comfortably without applying excessive pressure. Wear it daily during your activities to fully benefit from its effectiveness.
How to Choose the Right Size for Your Brace?
Measure the circumference of your wrist at the base of your thumb; if you’re unsure between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
