How Does the Oppo Thumb and Wrist Support Work?
This Oppo support is designed to stabilise and support the thumb to support recovery, and manage a range of conditions. Included in its design are three metal thumb stays to help immobilise the thumb, and support the base of the thumb CMC and the MCP joints without inhibiting palm and finger movement.
Open Palm Design for Increased Movement
Displaying an open palm design, with the support concentrating primarily on stabilising the wrist and CMC joint, there is increased flexibility in the hand and fingers allowing for a greater degree of movement than other supports. The absence of thermal neoprene material covering the palm also works to increase breathability and reduce palm perspiration for more comfortable all-day wear.
Removable Splints for Progressive Healing
Featuring three removable metal splints located along the thumb, this support allows you to remove the stabilisers as your healing progresses. Whether you're in late-stage rehabilitation and require mild compressive support or need structural stability as your joint heals, this brace will get you comfortably from start to finish of your recovery.
Thermal Neoprene to Retain Body Heat
Blending compression and thermal therapy, the Oppo Thumb Support utilises a neoprene rubber layer sandwiched between durable cotton and nylon laminates to act as a thermal insulator. This helps retain body heat and increase blood circulation which accelerates the body's natural healing process, relieving pain, swelling and stiffness.
Strengthen the Joint and Prevent Injury
Using the Oppo Wrist and Thumb Stabiliser, you ensure the joints heal correctly, allowing for greater flexibility in the muscles, tendons and ligaments once properly healed. This reduces the risk of new or recurring injury, allowing you to get back to your everyday routine without worrying about over-exertion.
Additional Strap for Stability During Exercise
Designed to be worn all day during your daily routine, the Oppo Wrist and Thumb Support features a wrap around strap that keeps the brace securely in place despite movement. Whether you're getting back on the court or simply using increased grip strength, you can wear your support with the confidence it will stay in place all day.
