Mediroyal NRX Long Thumb Orthosis

Tout savoir sur Mediroyal NRX Long Thumb Orthosis

Mediroyal NRX long thumb orthosis — a soft 2 mm micro-perforated neoprene support with a wide wrist band that holds the thumb in a neutral position, and which you can trim to shape yourself.

Neoprene with a wrist band, cut to fit

The NRX material is a micro-perforated neoprene: it holds warmth in the joint while the perforations let the skin breathe, which is what makes it wearable for a whole day rather than an hour. It has a soft textile face on the inside and a hook-receptive surface on the outside — so you can cut the orthosis to the shape of your own hand without the edge fraying, and put the low-profile hook tab wherever it actually needs to sit.

The wide wrist band steadies the wrist and the thumb together in a resting position, which takes the load off the thumb joint. It comes in a left and a right version and in two sizes: XS/S up to a 17 cm wrist and M/L from 17 cm up. The thumb section is 120 mm and the wrist section 70 mm wide.

Who is it for?

The orthosis is worn for osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb, for CMC or MCP joint instability, after a sprain, or with hypermobility. It suits you if you want relief from a soft support that keeps the hand usable rather than a rigid splint that stops it. Measure around the wrist: XS/S up to 17 cm, M/L from 17 cm.
