• I have a brace on both hands for stability and my physician recommends this site. I was told that I needed a short brace so will this keep my wrist stabilized. Recommendation needed.
• Do you need something for your thumb because the Universal Thumb-o-prene will support the thumb and wrap around the wrist? If you need something just for the wrist the DonJoy Wrist Wraps may work for you.

• Have a stroke patient that needs stabilization of R thumb joints in extension /palmar abduction. He is not contracted but is just beginning to develop spactic tone in thumb and small finger of an otherwise flaccid hand/wrist
  Will this splint provide enough support to keep tendons involve in flexion/palmar add. from sitting in a shorten position?
• One of the Thumb spicas would be better. Either the comfortFORM Wrist and Thumb or the Quickfit WTO. The Thumb-O-prene only has one aluminum stay on the top of the thumb. It won't accomplish what you want. https://www.betterbraces.com/procare-quick-fit-wto

• I have a wrist that seems swollen right underneath the hand; I pulled too hard trying to get my compression socks over my ankles; I also have a right thumb that is growing towards the left at the tip and a right index finger that is leaning towards the right also at the tip. I am looking for a brace that can keep my thumb and index fingers straight up and keep my carpal muscle nicely supported at the wrist as I sleep and possible wear it daily when not in water or cooking...can you help me find a brace that will do that so I don't get real crooked fingers? I am 64 yrs old and need a small.
• Universal Thumb-O-Prene™ and a finger splint would be recommended for your condition.

Inexpensive and good option but

Reviewed by: Richard

I have purchased 3 of these and use them during my different daily activities with the 2 different metal support inserts. They are more comfortable than other devices and hand wash well, but the construction around the top of the thumb is week and thin and will start to separate after sometime. The brace that I use during limited day-to-day activities where thumb movement is limited holds up well. The other 2 which are used when a large amount of thumb activity is necessary such as yard work or construction do not stand up well and are beginning to fray at the inside top of the thumb. I still find this one to be one of the more comfortable thumb braces available.

This is not a brace I recommend - poor quality around the thumb seams

Reviewed by: Shell

This particular product is not well made around the thumb area. I have had two braces within 1 month and both of them pulled apart at the inside seam around the thumb. The brace needs to be reinforced around the thumb area - particular around the top and around the seam.

the design of the brace for a small hand could use some improvement

Reviewed by: CJ Prokop
Verified Purchase

On a small wrist, the Velcro on the brace can cause chafing and soreness because it extends to far over the top of the hand.

Pros: The brace has really good support for the thumb.

Cons: The Velcro part needs redesigned for small wrists.

Great support

Reviewed by: David Bowers
Verified Purchase

I have a severely sprained thumb. The "Thumb-O-Prene has given me comfort and support and I wear it a lot. There were some earlier postings of failure in the sewing. I can see where that might be be case but mine has held up very well. They had to be talking about the extra support velcro strap. Hard to keep sewn the cloth and harder fabric tab. So far so good and I like it a lot.

Pros: Support, ease of use, ease of cleaning optional metal support.

Cons: none so far
