Description
The Bauerfeind RhizoLoc Thumb Brace has an individually adaptable aluminum stay which stabilizes the thumb saddle and metacarpophalangeal joint. This allows for optimal healing of thumb joint injuries, such as tears or sprains/contusion of the affected collateral ligaments ("skier's thumb"), or for indications of osteoarthritis.
