When you've injured your wrist or thumb, immobilisation and support are key factors needed for the area to make a full recovery. The LP Extreme Wrist and Thumb Support is designed to provide both of these, providing maximum support for a weak and injured wrist while stabilising the thumb. It includes a metal stay, which limits the motion of the thumb, providing partial immobilisation while allowing the rest of the fingers to move freely.
