DUO of DAY & NIGHT THUMB BRACES for RHIZARTHROSIS

FALSE! The EPITACT^® braces are available in three different sizes (small, medium and large). A guide helps you chose the appropriate size for you. The brace size is based on the circumference of the wrist, which is variable from one person to another (click on the « Choose the size » guide available with each product). A brace that is not tight enough won’t be effective, whereas a brace that is too tight would impede blood flow. To avoid this, the rigid brace is designed with an adjustable gripping strap for suitable support.

FALSE! Actually, the materials of the rigid brace which serve to immobilise the joint are semi-rigid, so they keep a certain deformation capacity. Also, their anatomical shape allows them to adapt comfortably to the morphology. Additionally, the flexible brace does not immobilise, but instead supports the joint. Its technology aids to provide a neutral position for the thumb, in order to limit traumatic movements and relieve joint pain.

FALSE! Each condition has a solution, at least with EPITACT^®! Hand and wrist conditions (including de Quervain’s tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome) have specific pathophysiological properties. Braces are designed to immobilise at different angles and to protect precision areas that are painful. The EPITACT^® rigid and flexible braces have been specially created for thumb arthritis.
