Support orthosis designed to immobilise the wrist and stabilise the thumb
This wrist and thumb orthosis is designed to stabilise both the wrist and the base of the thumb. It helps restrict painful movements while leaving the other fingers free to preserve part of the hand’s mobility.
The wrist and thumb orthosis is intended for situations in which the wrist and thumb require temporary or reinforced support. It helps stabilise the wrist joint as well as the joints located at the base of the thumb.
It may be used following a sprain, surgery, inflammation or joint pain. By restricting certain movements, the orthosis helps relieve weakened structures during the recovery period.
An adjustable internal splint helps keep the wrist in an appropriate position. The thumb section stabilises the thumb in a functional position, while the other fingers remain free for light everyday activities.
The open design makes the orthosis easier to put on and allows the fastening tension to be adjusted gradually. Its breathable material helps improve comfort during use.
The affected side, level of compression and duration of use should be determined according to the user’s condition and the recommendations of a doctor or another healthcare professional.
At OrthoGreen Mobility, an orthopaedic bandagist and medical equipment store in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we assist you in choosing and fitting a wrist and thumb orthosis suited to your anatomy, prescription and required level of stabilisation.

Need for wrist stabilization with thumb fixation
The choice of a wrist and thumb orthosis depends on the affected side, the shape of the hand, the painful area and the required level of immobilisation. An orthosis that is too tight may cause excessive pressure, while one that is too loose may provide insufficient support.
Our team can advise you in our store in Molenbeek-Brussels and help check the positioning of the wrist and thumb, the adjustment of the splint, the fastening tension and overall comfort.
