Push Ortho CMC Thumb Brace

PUSH ORTHO CMC THUMB BRACE

The original CMC Brace for effective control of the CMC Thumb joint

Push Metagrip CMC Thumb Brace(Basal Joint Splint)

The most effective streamlined and durable brace for the relief of thumb CMC (basal joint) osteoarthritis.

The Push CMC thumb brace has been designed and developed by Push Braces in conjunction with eminent hand therapists Judy Colditz and Nettie Koekebakker. The Push CMC stabilises the basal joint of the thumb and places the thumb in a functional position, guaranteeing optimal hand function and reducing such symptoms as pain and loss of strength.

Arthritis of the basal joint of the thumb, combined with a weakening of the ligaments, results in functional instability. This typically causes symptoms such as thumb pain, reduced hand function, weakness and stiffness. The thumb is responsible for an estimated 40% of all hand functions, so arthritis of the CMC joint may result in disabling restrictions of the hand.

The Push CMC thumb brace consists of a cylindrical section around the ball of the thumb and a fixed connection running along the palm to the outside of the hand. This can be closed at the back of the hand with two non-elastic bands. The cylindrical section consists of two components: an aluminium strip and a transparent, flexible, synthetic part. The aluminium strip can be shaped and individually adapted for maximum stabilisation of the base of the thumb. The selected materials and rounded edges guarantee maximum comfort. The simple closing system enables patients to fit the brace themselves without any effort.

The selected materials and rounded edges contribute to maximum comfort, the simple closing system enabling patients to fit the brace themselves without any effort. The product is antimicrobial, can be used in water, and can be dried easily.
