Comfort Cool Thumb CMC Restriction Splint - Black Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a thumb spica splint work?
Thumb spica splints are orthopedic splints that are used to limit movement and provide support and comfort to people who have a thumb injury. The other fingers are usually free to move in this type of splint.
2. How tight should my thumb brace be?
The long side of the thumb splint should rest outside your thumb and along your inside wrist and forearm when you put it on. Secure the straps around your thumb and wrist to be comfortable to wear and do not obstruct your circulation. If the splint is bothering you, see your doctor.
3. How tight should splints be?
If your fingers, hand, arm, toes, foot, or leg have numbness/tingling. Remember to get them moving!!! if your cast is too small. Your cast was designed to prevent excessive movement and should therefore be snug but not too tight. (There is a difference!).
4. What is the purpose of a thumb spica splint?
Thumb splints immobilize the thumb while allowing the fingers to move. Thumb spica splints support joints that are painful or unstable due to arthritis or soft tissue injuries. Wearing thumb spica splints for daily activities will also protect the joint and improve hand function.
