What type of thumb bandage should you buy?

If you are going to choose a thumb bandage or a thumb brace, you need to know the purpose of your thumb bandage. You support with a thumb bandage, you immobilize with a thumb brace. You can use a thumb bandage for various injuries, for example:

Ski thumb
Thumb arthrosis
Thumb rheumatism
Thumb arthritis

Which material should I choose for my thumb bandage?

Thumb bandages are often made of textile, making them less suitable for use in a wet environment. This is because the bandage must first dry properly before it can be worn again, not to prevent blemishes and skin wounds. If you want to support your thumb in a moist environment, it is better to choose a plastic thumb brace such as the Push CMC thumb splint.

Thumb bandage with or without wrist support?

A thumb bandage can provide support over the wrist or not. When moving / loading the wrist is painful, it is always advisable to also support it with a thumb bandage with wrist support. Even if you want to use the thumb brace at night, we advise you to purchase an extensive thumb bandage with wrist support. If you have no wrist complaints and do not want to be restricted in your movement during the day, a thumb bandage without wrist support is sufficient.
