How Do You Fit a Thumb Brace?

Published in Medical Devices 1 min read

Fitting a thumb brace typically involves these steps: positioning the brace, securing the palm strap, and fastening the wrist strap.

While specific instructions can vary depending on the brand and type of thumb brace, here's a general guide based on common features:

  1. Position the Brace: Fit the brace so the thumb portion comfortably supports your thumb.

  2. Secure the Palm Strap: Thread the palm strap through the D-ring and fasten it back onto the palm area. Tighten to provide support, but ensure it's not so tight that it restricts circulation.

  3. Fasten the Wrist Strap: Wrap the wrist strap around your wrist and secure it. Adjust for a snug and supportive fit.

Remember to consult the specific instructions included with your thumb brace for the most accurate and effective fitting process.
