comfortable and helps with the carpal strain

My OT therapist recommended this to me. She measured me so as to get a good fit. So far I really like it. It helps to keep my thumb stabilized and still maintain flexibility and control of my fingers. It’s a good design with a padded palm and wrap around support with Velcro. Although it somewhat limits the extent of thumb motion the thumb is still usable within its restrictions and certainly much better than not using it. Easy to use, effectively reduces the pain and more comfortable than I would have thought possible.

Recommended by my OT, and it helps. But, after 2 months, the edges are starting to fray and the strap is stretching out. For $30+, I'd expect better quality. The edges are not finished with trim or even stitching. There are similar splints, but this one is patented and it works, but it won't last! So, I'll have to look for a trim to sew over the edges to prevent more fraying.

It's the exact same one that you would get from a physical therapist but a few dollars less and you don't need to pay a copay to get it.

This wrap is nearly identical to one that I received from my doctor after getting a cortisone shot in my thumb nearly a decade ago. The only difference I can make, is that on this one, the section my thumb goes through is not as restrictive or supporting as the one I received from my doctor. Either it's thinner material now or my old one is the next lower size? Unfortunately I misplaced my other one.
