AT LAST! A SOLUTION THAT CAN COPE WITH YOUR EVERYDAY ACTIVITY!
EPITACT® has created a flexible thumb brace that relieves the joint pain caused by arthrosis at the base of the thumb, without impeding the use of your hand!
Wearing a proprioceptive orthotic during the day helps to relieve joint pain caused by root arthrosis. It reduces painful micro-movements, holds the thumb in its resting position, and maintains localised warmth within the joint. Flexible, thin, and discreet, you can still make full use of your hand!

For relief from root arthrosis, the thumb must be kept in a rigid orthotic all day.
TRUE and FALSE! It is indeed recommended to immobilise your thumb during the day, but most of the time this is not compatible with a working life. This is why we have developed a flexible orthotic that lets you use your hand to grasp objects while limiting movement of the thumb joint when you aren’t using it.
You cannot drive while wearing the EPITACT flexible orthotic for root arthrosis.
FALSE! The flexible thumb orthotic is designed so that you can use your thumb when you need to: you can drive, use the phone, and cook while wearing it. What the orthotic does is limit involuntary movement of the hand when talking or walking. These movements are only slight, but over time they can bring on attack.
One brace can be worn on both hands.
FALSE! The effectiveness of the EPITACT® flexible thumb brace is based on its patented pattern. Thanks to its flexible fabric, it fits the shape of the hand to place the affected joint in a proper position. Its silicone tendon at the base of the thumb aims to provide warmth. So, if you use this brace on the other hand, the position of its different components is not appropriate for your hand shape. Then its effectiveness is reduced.
