About Actimove Gauntlet Thumb and Wrist Support
Actimove Gauntlet Thumb and Wrist Support — a thumb orthosis with MCP joint stabiliser and a removable wrist stay that stabilises the thumb in osteoarthritis, sprain or after hand surgery. The support can be used on both left and right hand and comes in four sizes.
How the Gauntlet orthosis works
The anatomically shaped thumb stay stabilises the MCP joint (metacarpophalangeal joint) while the rest of the fingers retain full mobility. The stay is removable, so you can take it out for washing or when you want a softer fit. Hook-and-loop closures around the wrist and thumb make it easy to fine-tune how tight the orthosis sits.
