Question 1

The soft undersleeve is falling apart.  How to buy new soft undersleeve?  It is not comfortable without it.

Accepted Answer

Hi there. You can purchase the under sleeve separately. https://www.amazon.com/BraceAbility-Undersleeve-Plastic-Splint-Protective/dp/B076JKM68H/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=hard+thumb+splint&m=A3HG8DDA62KJ2X&qid=1575053653&s=merchant-items&sr=1-2

Question 2

Has anyone ever tried this under a baseball glove while catching?

Accepted Answer

I am not a baseball player, but if the glove is loose enough it would probably fit snugly because it adds about 1/4” (my guess).  If your thumb swells during the game, you could have difficulty getting glove off. And when you do please ice your thumb to reduce the swelling. Of greater concern  is the functional limitations it puts on hand use. It would distort your ability to grab the ball tightly. The point of the brace is to prevent you from bending your thumb joints particularly the DIP and PIP.  But the strap holding it on also restricts movement of the MCP joint. When I wear it I cannot touch my little finger with the tip of my thumb.  I would not be able to hold a baseball tightly, although  I might have a strong grip on a bigger softball. Hope this helps.

Question 3

Can this go in water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may wear this item in water.

Question 4

Which knuckle do you measure distal? Proximal MP?

Accepted Answer

Tracy, thanks for your question and in this case, Distal means the farthest away from the wrist (so it would be the joint right below your thumbnail) while Proximal MP would be the next joint down from the Distal.  The Distal is also called an IP Joint while the Proximal MP is also referred to the MPC Joint.  I hope this helps!  Please let us know if you have any other questions.  Thank you for your interest in our products.  BraceAbility Customer Care Team.
