Medically Approved Orthopaedic Thumb Brace Designed For Osteoarthritis & Instability of Thumb Joint - As Supplied to UK Hospitals (LARGE/LEFT - Hand Circ:23-26cm)

After 10 days of use for a tendon problem the velcro has become completely ineffective. I was hoping for something better for the price.

I recently saw a hand consultant who recommended I purchase a thumb push splint. I bought this particular one because of the reviews. I have worn it a few times to give me some support & relief but it pinches in between the thumb and forefinger so I am thinking of putting some padding under it to make it more comfortable. I haven’t used it enough yet to say whether or not it really helps my hand/thumb problem but I will keep using it. I do have to be honest and say I can’t see how it costs as much as it does. In my experience, anything labelled ‘orthopaedic’ seems to add £££s to the product. I sincerely hope it is worth the money in the long term.

I bought the small, slightly too small, and the medium, slightly too big. The pain relief from both is instantaneous and remarkable. Without the support my thumb joint hurts when I use my hand, with the support it doesn't, it does very mildly. It's that simple.Note to manufacturer: if you put your branding on the top of the Velcro strap it would not impede the adhesion of the Velcro for the medium one on tight. I think it would then be perfect. The small is just a bit tight round the muscle of my thumb.

It’s ok but a bit flimsy for the price - time will tell!As a design, it’s ok but needs to have a longer plastic bit to cover scaphoid. This will limit abduction better. The bridge piece between the thumb and first digit could be about 1/4” wider preventing addiction just a bit more. It’s not bad but could be improved. Prob ok for those that don’t use their hands much. I used mine too much as a physio for 30 years and paid the price

The material straps whilst more comfortable than the Push CMC are far less durable. I will be needing a brace for the rest of my life and know if I want tougher longer lasting I'll be going with the Push. Also the plastic mould did not take long to split and frankly should be one piece like the Push rather than the two piece it currently is. Certainly not worth the price in it's less than durable current form than the Push

If any customers have previously purchased the PUSH CMC thumb brace they will know that, although it is excellent, it is very expensive and the velcro wears out making the brace useless. This Orliman brace is cheaper. The brace fitting seems just as good and the velcro strap is more substantial. So far, I would definitely recommend it. A word of warning however. I have previously used the PUSH No.2 (medium size) but this Orliman medium was smaller and did not fit. However - excellent service from Orthotix - they replaced the medium with a large immediately without fuss.

Bought as the Push CMC did not have my size. Is solid if not spectacular. Mould is less forgiving than the Push CMC but is doing a job.

I've had many arthuritic thumb supports. This one is the best one I have had. Supports the thumb base great, and you have no resection on bending the top of the thumb. My thumb does not get in way now when i have a cup of tea.
