Neoprene Thumb Support
Thumb Stability, Free Fingers
A neoprene support that steadies the thumb joint while the other fingers keep moving.
Product Description
Soft neoprene wraps around the thumb and the wrist together, so the base of the thumb is held while the hand stays usable. The closure lets the fit be set for tasks that involve gripping, pinching and repeated thumb movement.
Key Benefits
• Free Fingers: The other four fingers move normally.

Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Neoprene Thumb Support. For anything specific to your own condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I choose the right size?
One size, adjustable. The support should hold the base of the thumb; the tip stays free. Available sizes: UNI. No circumference table. The closure covers a wide range of wrist sizes. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and wear it?
Slide the thumb through the opening, wrap the band around the wrist and fasten it. Set the tension so the thumb is steadied without being pulled out of its natural position.
Will it restrict my movement?
Stabilises the thumb joint; the other four fingers stay free to move. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
How is this different from the other Bodymap options?
This support holds the thumb and the wrist together in soft neoprene. A splinted thumb brace adds a rigid stay, and a plain wrist wrap leaves the thumb out altogether.
How do I wash and care for it?
Fasten all closures before washing. Follow the care label supplied with the product. Unless the label states otherwise, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and air dry flat away from direct heat. Do not bleach, wring, tumble dry, or iron.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
Do not fasten so tightly that the thumb becomes pale, cold or numb. Remove the support if pain increases or if the skin becomes irritated. Thumb pain after a fall, or a thumb that cannot be moved, requires professional assessment.
