Comfort Cool NC79567 Thumb CMC Restriction Splint, Provides Direct Support, Right Hand, Large

This is a great product. I work with my hands and have been using support products for several years. My therapist recommended this product and they were spot on for cmc joint relief. This new splint is for my other hand. Surprisingly my hand remains cool and comfortable even in the summer. As for care of cleaning, use warm water and mild soap, rinse well and dry flat. DO NOT put splint in a heated dryer!

This is the same type of splint recommended by my doctor. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable.

I waited way too long to get this. I didn't know what was wrong with my thumb but it was getting more and more painful, swollen and disfigured. When the pain seemed to be reflecting all the way to my shoulder I was popping ibupropen so much they affected my stomach. Finally I showed it to my primary doctor and she brushed it off with,"it's probably arthritis" along with an attitude of what do you expect at your age? and no suggestions on how to care for it. ( a good sign I need a new Dr). Finally went to a specialist and found out that it is a CMS issue in the thumb that had traveled up the tendons into the wrist and arm. She recommended this splint and of course I turned to Amazon for the best price. She said I would probably avoid surgery by taking care of it. I followed the sizing instructions exactly and got the small size. It is almost a perfect fit. I might try the small plus because there is about 1/4" gap when I close it as much as possible. I am waiting on that decision to see if it fits better when the swelling is completety gone. I know that a snug fit is why it works so I am hesitant to do that too soon. It is a remarkable product. The pain was gone almost as soon as I began wearing it, haven't had another pill since I put it on. At Dr's advice I wear it at night for now. Most of the swelling and bruising is gone. When I take it off for bathing it gets a bit of gentle exercise but if I leave it off too long it begins to hurt again. I can't recommend it highly enough. I wrote all the detail trying to answer all the questions for those who are concerned..Update; I originally purshased two in the same size (small), to have an extra when I washed the other, although the they dry quickly. I am updating to say that I just purchased one in size small-plus. When I haven't used it in a while and my thumb gets swollen, I needed one a bit larger for a while. It is not much larger, just that useful small amount. I notice it is mostly a better fit with the tab-closure that wraps around the thumb. Now I have more choice and it is still doing a good job keeping me from pain and surgery.

My wife hurt her and uses it at nights and claims it only helps some of the time.

This really helps my thumb!

I suffer from arthritis in my thumb from years of bass and guitar playing. This support glove is very helpful and effective.

Liked fit. awesome

I love this thumb brace! My ortho gave me my first one in a size Medium plus so I purchased my second one on Amazon in same size. It was way too big so I exchanged for a Medium and it was way too small! I love the brace so I didn’t want to give up and ordered Medium plus again and this one fits perfectly. Don’t know if others have had the same issues with sizing? Other than that, this brace gives you good support but still allows some mobility in the thumb when performing daily tasks. I use other braces that are more rigid when performing more heavy duty tasks or as a night splint. I use this one more because it doesn’t restrict my thumb motion too much but still gives me great support on my thumb joint and wrist.
