Epitact Flexible Thumb Orthosis Left Hand M

Epitact Flexible Thumb Orthosis Left Hand M it's aflexible orthosis which maintains the inch in the rest position. It's for the left hand, in size M.

The problem it answers has a name: la rhizarthrosis, that is, arthrosis of the joint at the base of the thumb, the one between the first metacarpal and the trapezium. It is the joint that works every time forceps are applied, and for this reason it is among the first to wear out.

The mechanism isalignment: by keeping the bones of the thumb aligned, the orthosis reduces the forces exerted on the joint. Less force means less pain, and that is what the manufacturer declares together with the fact that the orthosis limits evolution of the painting.

The word that distinguishes this model from others is flexible. The orthosis does not immobilize: She keeps her thumb and lets go, and this allows her to absorb traumatizing movements instead of preventing them. It is the useful choice in case of daytime use, when the hand must continue to work, while rigid orthoses are for rest.

The manufacturer also limits the painful inflammatory attacks, that is, the acute phases that alternate with underlying pain.

The pliers it is the gesture that that articulation pays off: turning a key, opening a jar, writing, holding a telephone. They are movements that are repeated dozens of times a day without us thinking about them, and this is the reason why a pain at the base of the thumb is felt with everything the hands do, and not with just one activity.

It washes in washing machine at 40 degrees inside the washing bag supplied in the package, which is the detail that extends its life. The package contains an orthosis, for the left hand in size M: left and right are different references.
