Why finger splints?
The purpose of splints and supports for the thumb and other fingers is to stabilise the finger or fingers that are injured and where you feel pain. The support in turn provides greater mobility in the rest of the hand, which makes everyday life easier.

Different types of thumb support

Good thumb support should not be underestimated, but not everyone's needs are the same. Whether it is due to osteoarthritis, ligament damage, wear and tear, or sprains, there are many good reasons to invest in a high-quality thumb support. In our range, you will find supports for both the left and right hand, supports with splints, and options adapted for different activities.

Something that all thumb supports have in common is that they:

  • Help you relieve pressure and support your thumb: The thumb support has one main function, which is to relieve pressure on your metacarpophalangeal joint so as not to aggravate injuries or irritation.
  • Relieve pain: Restrict movements that cause pain, which is especially important if you are trying to reduce swelling.
  • Reduce strain: Stabilise your thumb to avoid accidental overuse.
  • Adjustable fit: Both around the wrist and around the thumb, so you can easily and effectively adjust the support to your needs.

Are thumb supports good for osteoarthritis?

Yes, thumb supports are excellent for arthritis. They stabilise the thumb joint, reduce pain and minimise inflammation by limiting movement. Wearing a thumb support can improve grip strength, relieve stiffness and protect against further joint damage during daily activities.

How do thumb supports work?

Thumb supports work by stabilising the thumb joint and limiting excessive movement. This reduces the strain on tendons, joints and ligaments, which alleviates inflammation. They also promote proper alignment, improve hand function and provide gentle compression that supports healing and prevents discomfort.

When do I need a thumb brace?

You need support for your thumb if you have pain, swelling or weakness due to arthritis, tendonitis, sprains or repetitive strain injuries. It is also useful after surgery or for repetitive tasks to prevent strain and support healing while maintaining joint stability and mobility.
