MUELLER Sports Medicine Adjust-to-Fit Thumb Stabilizer, Spica Splint, Thumb Pain Relief Brace for Men and Women, Ideal for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, Arthritis, Sprains, Fits Right or Left

I love having this on for protection! I often wear it to bed so my door or other household items don’t affect it enough to over use it. My doctor still does injections every so often to help, but this gets me through the day without having any issues. I bought 2 to protect my other thumb if needed. It fits either side depending on how you put a piece of metal inside it. If one wears out, I can get the other one and change where the metal is for it to support the other thumb. It’s definitely worth trying to wear it, as long as you take it off when work is done, but don’t depend entirely upon the extra support for help! Pictures below hopefully show hoe the 3 straps give you an idea of how they work. Each one allows you to adjust the pressure for each area. It’s very comfortable on the inside, and I have sensitive, older skin to care for.

I have been using his off and on for about a month. I have issues with arthritis in my thumb. Undoubtably this is the result from being in a wheelchair for 20+ years and a consequence of constantly grabbing my hand rim to move myself around.We just took a trip to Europe where I had to do a lot of pushing. I wore this ontop of a light glove and it worked great. It gave me a bit more support for my thumb while not getting in the way of doing what I needed to do. There were several days where I wore this most of the day and it was reasonably comfortable. I will also say that it held up well. Frankly the brace held up better than my gloves.In my opinion, the brace probably did more by limiting my range of motion just enough to keep me from putting too much stress on the joint. I was happy that I had this on our trip.

This is a very supportive brace. I do like it. Ventilation is reasonable however in the summer it will feel a bit hot. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 for one reason- the strap that goes around just below your knuckles and to the base of your thumb should have a slightly longer "hook" pad on it because I have large hands and once in a while this strap will lift off. It needs more contact with the hook & loop closure system to be more secure for large or stronger more active hands. That one issue would put me on the fence of buying it again or trying another similar product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this brand as it was recommended by my Rheumatologist. It takes a bit to get used to, but it does work. It is not an overnight fix, but it provides stability and support. Eventually one day you do not need it or can take a break from it. I will say I needed this while on vacation and did not bring; I purchased a different one and it was more expensive and noticeably inferior. I have two of these now and highly recommend.

I literally can never be bothered to write product reviews, good or bad, without an incentive...but after just 6 hours of wearing this brace I felt compelled to share how absolutely SUPERLATIVE it is. If you have De Quervain's, stop looking around and order this Mueller brace immediately!It's comfortable, supportive, nonintrusive and fits great. Most importantly, the design of the thumb enclosure is brilliant; it lets you retain full access to functions of your thumb, but prevents the kind of backwards expanding "claw" hand movements that always cause a sharp pain in the wrist. And it's loose enough to not cut off your circulation, which is perfect for long uninterrupted periods of use. For the price and performance this brace is unmatched.

I have bilateral thumb. CMC osteoarthritis. My choices was to wear braces and get hand injections or to have surgery on each of my hands. I would probably not have full use of either hand for at least 12 months. And the surgery was not a guarantee that the pain that I'm experiencing would go away. For the past 4 years I've used four or five different braces, even braces that I got from the hand surgeons department that was $125 a piece. When I saw these braces and the reviews and because of the price, I decided what do I have to lose? Let me give it a shot. I have to tell you I've been using these braces now for about a month and I'm using them on each hand, and they're the best braces that I've owned for my hand joint problems. They're easy to put on and take off. They fully relieve the pain on both of my hands and they're also easy to keep clean and they're very durable as well. If you're experiencing hand pain and you're looking for a good hand brace, try these. You have nothing to lose and you're not paying $125 each for something that's not going to be as good as these braces. So in the end I want to thank the manufacturer for helping me out. I'm going to buy another pair of these braces to have extra in the house and I rate them five stars, if I could rate them 10 Stars I would rate them 10 Stars.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this brace to support my right thumb after an Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injury.It looked promising based on the high ratings and description, but in reality it's just MEH.The support is decent - there are firm inserts along the thumb that help keep it stable - and it’s fairly comfortable to wear. It’s also easy to put on and adjust, and the material is breathable enough for multi-hour use.But the main issue is the thumb Velcro.It just doesn’t stick well.During any kind of activity - especially contact sports or grappling - the thumb strap keeps coming undone.That makes the whole brace kind of pointless if you're trying to protect your thumb while moving around or doing anything physical.If you’re only planning to wear it while resting or doing light activities, it might be okay.But if you’re looking for something that holds up during sports or anything active, the weak Velcro is a dealbreaker.This was a waste of money as it has obvious design flaws that needs to be fixed.Make all the velcro straps - especially the one on the thumb - longer and stronger and I'd buy it, otherwise this belongs in the trash.3-stars is being generous.
