CURECARE Thumb Brace, New 2 in 1 Thumb Spica Splint Right & Left Hand (M/L)

I don't know how this thumb thing happened, but it's agonizing and irritating. Apparently bracing it over night can help. This is a very comfortable, firm brace for either thumb. It has both a metal and a plastic bracing structure in it. You can remove them or use both, and the metal one can be bent to adjust to fit. I left it straight to completely immobilize my thumb. The velcro straps are excellent. They hold firm yet are not too hard to pull open! I got the larger size, and the strap does go all the way around my wrist and onto the brace, but it's pretty stretchy. It's long enough to fit a much much larger wrist well. You can undo the strap entirely, set your finger, and then do the strap up. The strap for the thumb is about 3/4" wide, and can hold the thumb tip still, or allow a little wiggle room. There is a 3rd adjustable strap at the thumb web. You can leave this loose, or put it at an angle. I like that this strap is adjustable. All of the straps have edges bound in soft material. The inner side is soft microfiber with nice padding. It's breathable and can be worn for hours comfortably. I can actually drive while wearing this brace. It's liveable. My thumb feels better due to wearing this brace. Not healed, but protected. A good start towards healing. This brace is worth the money for sure. I got the lighter grey color. It's unobtrusive, and visible on dark or light surfaces (I kept losing the black one on our dark sheets lol) The brace doesn't add a lot of bulk, it's easy to pull on most long sleeves over it. I like this brace.

I really, REALLY like this splint. I've recommended it to many with thumb/UCL pain that many get that (usually associated with over-use of the thumb in the same way). I'm a cross stitcher so the "pinch the needle is my issue. At this point I'm wearing it to prevent further damage to a torn ligament in my right thumb that I'll be having surgery on on 04/25/25. I LOVE its accessibility on how strongly you need to set it to (using the 2 internal (and removable) parts to the splint, plus the splint with neither plastic nor metal piece is pretty good at stabilization on its own. I recommend it to all my physical therapist/occupational therapist that I see frequently for this kind of damage. I have both in right now (right wrist/thumb) for max stability not just to avoid further damage but to train myself to do things left handed as I'm going to be in a cast (completely immobilizing my right thumb and wrist, and forearm) for a while, then a fairly rigid brace (made to fit me), then on and on for about year (including PT) which should be... interesting since I'm STRONGLY right handed so I'm wearing the brace ALSO gives me (what I hope will be) a fairly solid reminder when I try to do stuff with my right hand and focus on being unable to just switch to my right hand when I'm not paying attention. This brace helps with that IMMENSELY. I like that that the brace covers the wrist a bit too since I've also got wrist pain from my injuries. My ONLY complaint (not worth losing a star) is I wish there was some sort of "tag" on the brace itself (or if there is such a thing and someone could tell me where!) that says what size each is (if there is one, I haven't found it). I bought one in each size because the sizing kinda overlapped and honestly I feel like they're pretty much the same fit and would like to return one since I don't need two...the bag has the size but I'm prone to losing things and can't find the proper bags, and if I did I still don't think I'd be able to decide which brace goes in which bag. Mildly annoying but not the end of the world. Great at immobilizing thumb, OR adjusting internal bracing to make a bit softer. Very versatile. Highly recommend for "skier's thumb" as it's called (I don't ski but use a manual wheelchair for a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and (which can cause regular dislocations) and my right thumb was sick of it as it was constantly dislocated it as I pushed myself (so I've upgraded the style of my push rims so I can't catch my thumb in) but for now I have a partially torn UCL that I'll have to learn to be left handed for about 3-4 months while it heals then lots of occupational therapy. I'm also a cross stitcher so it is highly likely this is some sort of "repetitive movement" injury as well as self-ambulating in my manual chair as my left hand is giving me grief now that I've switched to only stitching on the left hand. Sigh. You just can't win! ---- ETA Update 05/03/25 and am now post op and it turned out I'd actually fully snapped the UCL in the thumb and am in a lot of pain from surgery 8 days post op and I've got another week before the cast they put on me after surgery which is SUPER uncomfortable (to say the least...they offered prescription strength ibuprofen (aka 600mg) which I turned down as I have plenty of the 200mg ones at home. Sheesh you'd think you at least offer Vicodin (a very low-strength opioid but better than IBUPROFEN). Stupid "war on drugs" here in the US. So if you start getting "hypermobile" at the UCL (I highly recommend looking up the ligaments in the thumb on Google images or just search "what does it feel like to have a torn thumb ligament" with loss of strength in a thumb I HIGHLY recommend wearing one of these splints to at least stabilize your thumb(s) until you can see an orthopedist or orthopedic surgeon and highly recommend an MRI on the painful thumb since it's not just the thumb bone but also a tear of the ligament which won't show up on an x-ray you really want to get that MRI. Insurance (at least Medicaid in my (US) state requires an x-ray before doing more expensive imaging (aka MRI) that will show soft tissue injury. I highly recommend it! Stick to the splint until you can get that imaging. Keep a log of each day and what the average "pain level" you experienced and where the pain is (I know everyone hates the 1-10 pain scale but give it a go. It'll prove to your Dr that you're taking this very seriously and you might get bumped higher up the line for the referrals/scans. Seriously post op time plus all the PT/OT after surgery is no joke!

Great value for the price. The adjustable Velcro makes it easy to wear. It adds a great support with and without the metal removable splint.

Great brace. I’m an MD and have deQuervain’s tendonitis. Best brace I have found with thumb spica. Comfortable, effective, and very ergonomic. Well done!

Something is up with my thumb and I have ordered a few different splints. They were either too small or too big or did not provide any relief until this one. It fits perfectly and is holding my thumb in the perfect painless position. I fully recommend this splint. Thank you!

I injured myself at work about a year ago and through that injury I had to use my right hand a lot. It sped up the already pre-existing arthritis that I have in my CMC joints and really my entire hand and body, but the CMC is what I'm feeling. I've been through braces and tapes and honestly when I tape it myself, that's the best because I'm really good at it now 🤣 but this is a very good brace even though I did buy one a size 2 small for myself. It seems to hold the wrist and the thumb pretty well but no please. If you're gonna do work, will you have to grab things and and make fists it's not gonna keep your thumb stiff. I mean it will but it's meant to keep it braced so just keep that in mind if you're doing work and don't be mad because this is supposed to keep it it's stable and splinted.🤷🏻‍♂️. So if you're gonna do work, it's gonna hurt. But for the price, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's more of a reminder to keep your hand and thumb from doing things that it's gonna affect it in a bad way. I'm really tired 🤣 but it's pretty good and definitely worth the money some and this is from somebody who has severe arthritis basically as bad as it gets in both hands.✌🏼

Cured my spica and back pain at the same time. Who knew?

I wear these when I have to lift heavy boxes or aggravating the Trigger Finger in my thumbs. Works great!

Prima di fare la recensione l'ho utilizzato per un po' di mesi per essere così sicuro della mia esperienza. Questo tutore è estremamente comodo (dopo un po' si dimentica di indossarlo) e consente una buona funzionalità della mano (io uso tranquillamente tastiera e mouse del PC). La cosa più importante è che, quando lo indosso, il dolore dovuto alla mia rizoartrosi scompare (anche se il problema di base purtroppo resta). Evidenzio che questo tutore è uno dei pochi in vendita ad avere 3 punti di ancoraggio il che lo rendono più stabile e adattabile a qualsiasi mano. Per questa ragione posso francamente consigliarlo

J'ai acheté plusieurs atèles car le scratch fini toujours par ne plus adhérer. Mais sur celle ci, aucun problème. Il maintien bien le pouce et le scratch résiste sans problème. Je recommande cette atèle qui sera finalement la seule que je garderait.

Proporciona una compresión justa que ayuda a aliviar las molestias sin llegar a ser agobiante. El tejido es transpirable y se siente de buena calidad, ideal para usar durante el trabajo o actividades ligeras. Como mejora: los bordes de los velcros pueden resultar algo ásperos si entran en contacto directo con la piel sensible, pero se soluciona ajustándolos con precisión

Eine nicht nur hilfreiche, wohltuende, gut passende, anpassungsfähige, gut verarbeitete und zudem preiswerte Alternative zu einer Daumenorthese aus dem Sanitätshaus. Dort hätte sie mich das 4-fache gekostet. Zu einer Verordnung war der Hausarzt nicht bereit, sondern verwies auf einen Orthopäden, was mir zu lange gedauert hätte hinsichtl. Termine die erst nach Wochen möglich sind. Also hab ich mich hier umgeschaut. Zunächst für ein kleineres Modell aus Silikon entschieden, aber feststellen müssen, dass man in kürzester Zeit massiv darunter schwitzt, trotz mitgeliefertem Stoffgebilde zum Drunterziehen. Auch schmerzte nach nur 2 Stunden die Grube zwischen Daumen und Handteller, weil das Silikon an dieser Stelle zu breit und zu derb war. Also retour und diese hier bestellt. Schon am nächsten Tag erhalten und seitdem im Dauereinsatz. Trägt natürlich ziemlich auf, aber stützt und schützt auch entsprechend. Für Hausarbeiten muss sie allerdings abgenommen werden, damit sie nicht feucht, und damit gewiss auch bald unansehnlich wird. Alles in allem kann ich sie nur wärmstens empfehlen, und bin froh dass ich sie gekauft habe.

I've had this item for over 6 months and it really works well. I use it for long distance driving when I rest my hand on the steering wheel, this prevents my thumb sitting at a bad angle causing nerve issues.
