FLEXIBLE DAY THUMB SUPPORT FOR ARTHRITIS

AT LAST! A SOLUTION THAT FITS FOR YOUR EVERYDAY ACTIVITY!

You have pain at the base of your thumb during your activities? Gripping, pinching, screwing or bearing objects is difficult, even impossible? EPITACT^® introduces you the day flexible thumb support for arthritis to wear during activities of daily living. In all situations you do not use your thumb, this device accompanies your movements without ever impeding your mobility.

Description of the EPITACT^® flexible thumb support

The flexible thumb support soothes basal thumb joint pain during activities and limits inflammatory flares. It accompanies thumb movement and helps your thumb to return in a resting and neutral position. How? Thanks to a patented pattern designed to open the angle between the thumb and index finger and to align the thumb with first metatarsal bone. This anatomical position reduces the stress on the affected joint and then relieves thumb arthritis pain.

Because it is only made of flexible materials, it does all this while preserving hand function. Indeed, moving the fingers, flexing the thumb and thumb/index pinch is still possible.

The flexible thumb support allows to continue your activities and facilitates some movements that were painful and that you had difficulties to do (bear a bag, open a bottle, grab a phone, iron, hold a tool…).

More than 90% of users declared having less pain thanks to the EPITACT^® flexible thumb support⁽¹⁾.

How does the flexible thumb support work?

The technology of this flexible thumb support is based on its patented pattern with special form that naturally helps the thumb joint to rest.

This is a proprioceptive brace, what means that you are more aware of the position of your thumb and basal joint. As the fabric stretches during traumatic movements, the sensation of presence of the brace encourages you to stop such movement and return to the neutral position.

Moreover, the pattern includes a silicone tendon on the painful area; the trapeziometacarpal joint. This pad maintains localised warmth, which is pleasant in case of joint pain.
