BraceX Recommended Brace for Thumb Instability, Sprains, and CMC Joint Pain đđď¸
Description:
The Bauerfeind RhizoLoc is a stabilizing thumb brace designed to relieve pain and restore function following thumb sprains, ligament injuries, or joint irritation. It provides targeted immobilization of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints â limiting painful movement while allowing full mobility of the other fingers.
An adjustable aluminum stay and Velcro strap system make it easy to fine-tune the level of stabilization, from full immobilization to light restriction, depending on the stage of recovery. The breathable, skin-friendly fabric ensures all-day comfort, while the slim, low-profile design allows the brace to fit comfortably under clothing or gloves.
The RhizoLoc is ideal for skierâs thumb, CMC osteoarthritis, and thumb sprains, and is the BraceX-recommended choice for targeted thumb stabilization during recovery or chronic joint management.
