Mueller Sports Medicine Green Reversible Thumb Stabilizer, OSFM, Maximum Support, Sustainable, Black

I have Trigger Thumb with the most severe pain originating in my IP joint (closest to the tip), and across the top of that same knuckle. The MCP and CMC joints also hurt, but the IP was unbearable with even the lightest pressure, and even the slightest bend would get stuck and cause trigger pain to try and extended it. I did a lot of research on which type of splints actually help immobilize the thumb from base to tip without pressing on any of the very tender joints. It's alarming that so few options are available that immobilize the IP joint that that are decent quality unless you wanna dish out $80, which I did not have. So this seemed to be the most bought Spica splint, and I bought it because it said it can be used effective on the right and the left hand, and it was the only one I found that extended to the IP joint. — This does NOT fit on the left hand with the same support as the right. The design of the straps squish the meaty part of your thumb on the palm side (where the CMC saddle joint is) toward the opposite side of your palm (outside edge below your pinky finger), which is not a natural rest position of your hand and engages the saddle joint in your thumb and holds it there, causing more strain on the CMC joint and the FPL (ligament that catches and triggers). It fits on my right hand the way it's supposed to allow the tendon to rest and reduce inflammation. When worn on the left, it will actually cause more damage, AND the plastic piece that the bottom wrist strap loops through sit direct on top of my wrist bone, cause the hard plastic to constantly put pressure on and rub across my wrist bone all day or night. There are several places where the fabric rubs uncomfortably against the skin, which causes the area to become really sore, inflamed, and causes damage to the skin. When I wore the splint to a Dr.s appointment he told me to only wear the splint at night when I'm sleeping because most people ball up their fists, which is when trigger the FPL can get permanently locked in a bend position, which requires a steroid shot or possibly surgery to release the tendon. But anytime I am awake, my healing process is progressing much better and with less pain by using 1" self-adhesive bandage wraps to wrap around my IP joint several times to prevent the tip of my thumb from bending, the I wrap a 2" bandage around the base of my thumb, and the MCP joint, which also wraps across my palm and the jack of my hand in order to properly support all 3 joints. 3 layers around my thumb and 2 around my hand/wrist has been perfect to allow the tendon to rest, prevent Mt thumb from bending, and it still allows me to have full mobility of my hand, just without my thumb. This Spica splint brace covered too much of my hand and basically blocked any and all use of my left hand. Since I'll need to wear it for about 5 months, I need to have use of my hand. This brace is NOT safe to wear on the left hand and may worsen the injury.

This hand splint is amazing! I would like to give more than five stars if it was possible! It is comfortable, well-made, sturdy, and since I started wearing it yesterday, I haven't had any pain from the arthritis in my thumb. I would highly recommend this! I've bought a couple other brands and they aren't nearly as good as this one, and they were even more expensive!

I damaged the tendon in my hand during that last snow storm when I slipped and fell on the ice . My doctor recommended getting a thumb stabilizer to relieve the pain from the tendonitis that developed. After researching products, I decided to buy this one from Mueller as it was on sale. I'm glad I did. It is comfortable to wear and supports my hand as it heals. Totally recommend.

I bought 2 of these separate times. I'm an average size woman and the thumb just sorta fits. I doubt a man with average hands could use it. The Velcro on one, the way it's attached, is very rough on the skin. It does support the wrist well and immobilizes the thumb well. Price is reasonable.

was an okay fit but after jamming my thumb and unpopping it I wear this for about 2 weeks I would have done longer but it was causing my thumb to be forced in a that was squeezing it closer to my other fingers causing it to be uncomfortable and I couldn't fix it no matter how I everything and I finally took it off cuz i realized I was losing feeling in my thumb and when I took it off my thumb was starting to turn blue (kinda hard to tell in the photos but it was slightly darker in person)

I overextended the ligament in my left thumb, and using just self adhesive wrap was not cutting it. I went for this and it has been amazing! My thumb hasn't hurt any in this and was just the support I needed. I seen in other reviews that this may only be best for larger hands, but I am a 5 foot woman and it fit me just great! I was also worried it might feel uncomfortable but it's not. Very soft and breathable as it says.

my daughters hand was giving her some problems when she was cooking or cleaning she now can do everything she wants and not ge in pain

It was prescribed by my physical therapist. Support is very good for the thumb but the rest seems as it will fall apart soon.

IF YOU SPRAINED YOUR THUMB …. This is the product you need. My fiancé hyperextended his thumb and sprained it pretty badly. Got him some ice and this, perfect. This is one size fits most. And this is reversible for both hands.

Best support I could find OTC!
