RhizoLoc OA | Thumb orthosis for osteoarthritis | 1 piece

Orthosis to immobilize and relieve the thumb joint

In cases of osteoarthritis, arthritis, injuries, excessive strain or irritation in the area of the carpometacarpal and metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, RhizoLoc OA provides targeted immobilization to alleviate pain. Thanks to its self-engaging Velcro velour wrap and the anatomically contoured plastic brace, the orthosis provides great stabilization and supports the thumb in a natural, relieving position. The strap system keeps the orthosis securely in position during all everyday activities without restricting grasping movements.
