Thumb Shield

The Thumb Shield is a neoprene wrist/thumb wrap which features an adjustable cinch strap and removable thermoplastic insert. The features combine to create an effective product which allows greater compression at the site of pain, without complete immobilisation so you can still function as normal during daily life.

The thermoplastic insert increases the support at the MCP joint and can be removed and remoulded as required, for a personalised product.
