Thumb orthosis Ligaflex® Rhizo

Product overview
Ligaflex® Rhizo is a thumb stabilising brace designed to support and stabilise the thumb in cases of thumb osteoarthritis (rhizarthrosis) and thumb injuries. A metallic wire stay holds the thumb joint in a neutral position while the brace design preserves gripping and pinching functions and allows wrist range of motion. The inner lining is soft and aerated for prolonged wear. Self-fastening straps enable quick adjustment for various wrist circumferences and the brace is easy to put on and remove.
