Comfort Cool CMC Thumb Brace - Black, Left Hand, Medium Plus | NC79558

I tried a few different thumb braces and for me, this one works the best! I can still play guitar with this on.

The best support for thumb and wrist support. I found more relief than expected when wearing it. The support was worth every penny, so much so that I bought a second one

Unfortunately, It is slightly to small in the palm area so does not close all the way. Hopefully it will stretch out over time. My physical therapist told me to get this size (M). Otherwise it gives very good support for the thumb.

I have arthritis and Raynaud’s in both hands. A flair up started as pain and weakness in both thumbs and wrist joints but while the left remained a little sore, the right progressively got worse and eventually the thumb triggered before that joint froze. My chiropractor was able to give me some relief but recommended I see a hand therapist to regain movement. My “bad hand” is improving considerably, but when I told my hand therapist my “good hand” was getting sore from over use, she had me try on one of these braces for size. She recommended I get this specific brace in the correct size to use on the overworked hand to give it support. She said the material will be warming on those joints, and the tightness can be adjusted so it wouldn’t make circulation worse with my Raynaud’s. She was so right It is the most comfortable brace I have ever had on. The material warms my wrist and thumb, gives it strength that I had lost, and adjust to fit all around, so on days my joints are swollen it is never too tight. I am going to buy one for my “bad hand”. Other braces I have tried (several) have been too tight or restricted all movement. With arthritis and Raynaud’s if my joints stay still it is much more difficult and painful to try and move them. I am purchasing one for my other hand.

Have bought many of these braces throughout the years for severe OA in hand, especially thumb base. Easy on/off and comfortable to wear day or night. I buy the black for general use because it does not show dirt. Wear the tan version if I don't want brace to be so noticeable. Rotating between 2 of them helps the brace to air out--putting it outside in sun helps keep brace "fresh". Hand wash, air dry when needed. Great support of thumb and some support of wrist also.

I waited way too long to get this. I didn't know what was wrong with my thumb but it was getting more and more painful, swollen and disfigured. When the pain seemed to be reflecting all the way to my shoulder I was popping ibupropen so much they affected my stomach. Finally I showed it to my primary doctor and she brushed it off with,"it's probably arthritis" along with an attitude of what do you expect at your age? and no suggestions on how to care for it. ( a good sign I need a new Dr). Finally went to a specialist and found out that it is a CMS issue in the thumb that had traveled up the tendons into the wrist and arm. She recommended this splint and of course I turned to Amazon for the best price. She said I would probably avoid surgery by taking care of it. I followed the sizing instructions exactly and got the small size. It is almost a perfect fit. I might try the small plus because there is about 1/4" gap when I close it as much as possible. I am waiting on that decision to see if it fits better when the swelling is completety gone. I know that a snug fit is why it works so I am hesitant to do that too soon. It is a remarkable product. The pain was gone almost as soon as I began wearing it, haven't had another pill since I put it on. At Dr's advice I wear it at night for now. Most of the swelling and bruising is gone. When I take it off for bathing it gets a bit of gentle exercise but if I leave it off too long it begins to hurt again. I can't recommend it highly enough. I wrote all the detail trying to answer all the questions for those who are concerned..Update; I originally purshased two in the same size (small), to have an extra when I washed the other, although the they dry quickly. I am updating to say that I just purchased one in size small-plus. When I haven't used it in a while and my thumb gets swollen, I needed one a bit larger for a while. It is not much larger, just that useful small amount. I notice it is mostly a better fit with the tab-closure that wraps around the thumb. Now I have more choice and it is still doing a good job keeping me from pain and surgery.

I purchased the Comfort Cool brace last year and had ordered both the right- and left-handed braces. However, recently I on three occasions, I ordered the left-handed brace again but I received a right-handed brace every time, in spite of the package indicating it was a left-hand brace. I finally decided to try the right-brace on my left hand although it fits upside down. It was okay but after a few hours the Velcro hook and loop which was now on the top of my hand was digging into my thin skin and causing abrasions. The correct and most comfortable fit is to have the hook and loop on the underside or palm of the hand. I do not know why they don't make the left-handed brace anymore, but they should not label a brace left-handed when it is actually a right-handed brace.

Best thumb brace I have ever worn. The built in supports are NOT metal, so it is much more comfortable. Another plus is that it hand washable. Measure accurately and your thumb will thank you.

I bought one splint 4 months ago but the the sticky joint is no longer sticky any more. The strap comes off easily all the time. The splint is no longer working. Does the product have any warranty? I cannot find warranty info anywhere. If not, could you send me a free replacement since I got this one only 4-5 months ago? I am aware you are just a distributor, not the manufacturer. But the philosophy is that if I buy a product that has defects from Walmart, I go to Walmart for change or refund; I do not have to contact the manufacturer in this regard.

Kinda floppy doses not help with swelling

Great size. Works great!

I had to return, it was too small. Had to pay $23.00 in shipping, not impressed. First time ever, I have had to pay for a return on Amazon.
