Comfort Cool CMC Thumb Brace - Beige, Left Hand, Medium Plus | NC79586

My OT therapist recommended this to me. She measured me so as to get a good fit. So far I really like it. It helps to keep my thumb stabilized and still maintain flexibility and control of my fingers. It’s a good design with a padded palm and wrap around support with Velcro. Although it somewhat limits the extent of thumb motion the thumb is still usable within its restrictions and certainly much better than not using it. Easy to use, effectively reduces the pain and more comfortable than I would have thought possible.

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.

It's great when wearing it through out the day. It does get in the way when you're trying to get housework done. It's well constructed and I'm happy with my purchase.

Good fit. Provides good support for my arthritic thumb. Fairly easy to put on.

I had to return one as it was too large. The correct size is remarkably comfortable.

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.

Recommended by my OT, and it helps. But, after 2 months, the edges are starting to fray and the strap is stretching out. For $30+, I'd expect better quality. The edges are not finished with trim or even stitching. There are similar splints, but this one is patented and it works, but it won't last! So, I'll have to look for a trim to sew over the edges to prevent more fraying.

Very comfortable brace

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.
