My Talarmade Airprene Thumb Spica arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. Excellent. Because of a worn CMC joint I wear a thumb brace for most of the time, this brace is larger and reaches further down my arm than some I have bought before. It gives very good support but is unsightly to wear.

I had a cat bite several years ago which infected my hand severely, the tendon/ligament eventually separating but healed well with no help. I started relearning piano a couple of years ago hence a thumb with limited capabilities. This support means I can do household and gardening work, I use tubigrip for piano.

A good product, delivered very quickly offering excellent thumb support. Lessens arthritic pain considerably when worn.

I have a critism regarding the metal inner support strip which was not stitched at wrist end, therefore arm movement allowing the support to protrude approx 50mm, digging I to the arm. This was easily rectified with few stitches to hold metal trip on place...this should be addressed by the manufacturer.

All in all this is a good product... providing the metal support is secured.
