The hand-based 3pp ThumSaver Thumb Support MP is an excellent choice to protect thumbs with CMC arthritis or ligament injuries. It is suitable for those with Gamekeeper's Thumb, Basal joint arthritis, Skier's thumb, or sprains and strains. Wearing the 3pp ThumSaver MP, you can garden, write or grasp a doorknob without pain or the fear of dropping things. Thin enough to be worn comfortably under gloves, ballplayers can wear it inside their gloves. The 3pp ThumSaver Thumb Support MP reduces the pain you feel when pinching or gripping small objects. This thumb splint realigns the MP joint (the middle joint) and stabilizes the base of your thumb to relieve the grinding pain of arthritis. Felt pads are included to provide cushioning where you need it. This splint offers firm control to limit or stop motion, in order to allow affected joints and tissues to heal.
Severe pain from overuse or arthritis requires full rest to quiet the pain. In such instances, a molded plastic splint or one with a metal stay is needed, to offer the required amount of control.
