Thuasne Ultralight Osteoarthritis Thumb Brace – 2-in-1 thumb support with compression and functional thumb support
Do you suffer from pain, stiffness or loss of strength at the base of your thumb due to osteoarthritis? The Thuasne 2-in-1 thumb support provides light compression and functional support to the thumb base joint. The thumb brace has been developed for the conservative treatment of mild to moderate thumb osteoarthritis. The compression fabric fits closely around the hand and provides a comfortable, stable feeling around the thumb pad. In addition, the TensionStrap system provides targeted support to the thumb without unnecessarily restricting movement. This helps keep the thumb in a natural resting position and reduces strain on the thumb base joint during everyday movements.
Targeted support while maintaining freedom of movement
The TensionStrap system helps maintain an open position between the thumb and index finger and supports the anatomical alignment of the thumb. This keeps the thumb slightly away from the index finger. It helps maintain a favourable, natural thumb position and may reduce pressure on the thumb base joint. The thumb therefore receives targeted support without being fully immobilised. The Thuasne® 2-in-1 thumb support contains no stays, splints or other rigid reinforcements. This keeps the design thin, flexible and discreet. Your fingers and wrist retain their freedom of movement, allowing you to wear the thumb brace during everyday activities such as writing, typing, cooking, working, gripping and opening packaging.

Frequently asked questions
Which thumb brace is suitable for thumb osteoarthritis?+
For mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the thumb base joint, a thumb brace is suitable when it supports the joint without fully immobilising the hand. The Thuasne Ultralight Osteoarthritis Thumb Brace combines compression with targeted elastic support. This helps relieve the thumb while allowing your fingers and wrist to remain freely movable.
Does a thumb brace help with osteoarthritis?+
A thumb brace can support the painful thumb base joint and reduce strain during everyday movements. This can be helpful during activities such as gripping, pinching, writing, typing and opening packaging. The Thuasne Ultralight supports the thumb in a natural position without using rigid splints or stays.
When can I wear the Thuasne Osteoarthritis Thumb Brace?+
You can wear the thumb brace during activities that cause pain, stiffness or reduced strength in the thumb. This may include working, cooking, writing, using a computer, driving or doing household tasks. Thanks to its thin and flexible design, the brace is suitable for everyday use.
What is the difference between this thumb brace and a brace with splints?+
A thumb brace with splints holds the thumb more firmly and restricts movement to a greater extent. The Thuasne 2-in-1 thumb brace contains no rigid splints or stays. Support is provided by the compression fabric and the integrated TensionStrap system. This allows the brace to provide light support while maintaining freedom of movement.
