RIGID NIGHT THUMB BRACE FOR ARTHRITIS

AT LAST A THUMB BRACE FOR SLEEPING THAT COMFORTABLY IMMOBILISES YOUR JOINT!

You have joint pain at the base of your thumb that awakes you at night? The EPITACT^® thumb support brace has been designed for people with mild and painful basal thumb arthritis. It immobilises the joint during periods of rest, at night or during painful flares for you to recover restful sleep.

Description of the EPITACT thumb brace for arthritis

While sleeping, the position of the thumb can increase pain. Moreover, thumb overuse during the day can also favour the onset of joint pain at night. Thumb splints and braces are recommended to relieve night joint pain caused by basal thumb arthritis.

The EPITACT^® rigid thumb support for arthritis comfortably immobilises the thumb in a restful position opening the angle between the index finger and thumb. This allows to align the first phalanx of the thumb and the long bone before it (the 1st metacarpal). Such a position limits the forces applied to the affected joint (the trapeziometacarpal joint) and relieves pain.

By keeping your thumb in a neutral position, this thumb brace for arthritis relieves pain and slows the progression of symptoms. Thanks to this device, you can easily get off to sleep or enjoy some downtime.

How does the night thumb support for arthritis work?

The thumb brace for arthritis has been patented. It provides optimal comfort and effectiveness thanks to:

• semi-rigid and pre-shaped reinforcements that effectively immobilise your joint and adapt to the curves of your hand for more comfort.
• a self-gripping strap around the wrist for custom fit.
• a thin and soft fabric that provides comfort and breathability.
