Epitact Day and Night Thumb Brace Kit
For you are suffering from arthritis in your thumb joint, it's important to rest your thumb as much as possible. The Epitact Day and Night Thumb Brace Kit includes two arthritis sleeves, one flexible and one rigid, giving you 24 hour support. The flexible brace is for active use during the day and is designed to retain needed dexterity, while the rigid brace is for use at night and immobilises your thumb more completely to help you get a comfortable, pain-free sleep.
