Description
The Actimove Professional Line Rhizo Forte Thumb Orthosis holds the thumb in a functional position while its base joints rest, inside a low-profile black frame built around a moldable aluminum core. This listing carries four configurations, Small to Large across the left and right hands.
- Clinically Proven Pain Support – clinically proven to support pain relief in osteoarthritis of the thumb
- Base Joints Immobilized – the CMC and MCP1 joints are held still while the fingers and wrist stay free
- Moldable Aluminum Core – the anatomical frame can be shaped by hand to the thumb it supports
Rest for the Thumb Base, Freedom for the Rest of the Hand
Thumb osteoarthritis makes pinching and gripping hurt at the base of the thumb, and the pain follows into the night. This orthosis is clinically proven to support pain relief in that joint, helping reduce pain-medication intake and decrease sleep disturbances. It places the thumb in a functional position and immobilizes the CMC and MCP1 joints at its base.
The rest of the hand is left alone, with fingers and wrist free to move for work, dressing and daily tasks. Its open low-profile frame is built around a moldable aluminum core, so the anatomical shape can be customized to the thumb wearing it. A one-hand hook-and-loop closure fastens it even when the other hand is the sore one, and the frame is water-resistant for wear around the sink.
