Relieve the pain of rhizarthrosis with a flexible, thin and comfortable orthosis. TheEpitact soft thumb orthosis keeps the thumb at rest, while preserving hand mobility for your daily activities.
When the base of the thumb becomes sensitive, particularly in cases of rhizarthrosis, every daily movement can quickly become uncomfortable. This flexible orthosis acts as a discreet guide that guides the thumb towards a resting position, while leaving the hand free to move. So you can continue your activities without the constant discomfort of repeated micro-movements.
Its principle is based on a technology that limits the stress exerted on the joint. Imagine a shock absorber that absorbs shocks with each use of the thumb: here, the silicone fabric and tendon play this role to reduce microtrauma and preserve the joint. This mechanical action helps to alleviate pain as the day progresses.
Unlike a rigid splint, this orthosis does not completely block the thumb. It accompanies your natural movements while controlling them. You can grasp an object, write or use your phone without undue strain, while benefiting from continuous support that helps keep the thumb in a resting position.
Its slim, lightweight design makes it easy to wear under clothing or with everyday accessories. It's discreet, yet provides targeted action on the painful area. This discretion encourages regular wear, which is essential for daily joint comfort.
User studies show that the majority of users experience a marked improvement in comfort. This makes the brace an invaluable ally between inflammatory flare-ups, or at the first signs of osteoarthritis of the thumb.
To optimize management, it may be advisable to combine this device with an Ergoform Donjoy Thumb Splint, particularly at night, to complement the joint resting action and reinforce overall thumb protection.
Instructions for use
Wash the orthosis before first use to ensure optimum hygiene. Put it on with the thumb correctly positioned, then adjust it for comfort without excessive compression. Wear it daily during your activities to benefit fully from its effectiveness.
How to choose the right size for your orthosis?
Measure the contour of your wrist, at the base of your thumb. If you're not sure which size to choose, choose the smallest.
