About Mediroyal NRX Short Thumb Orthosis
Mediroyal NRX short thumb orthosis — a soft support in perforated neoprene with a narrow wrist strap that holds the thumb in a neutral position so the joint can rest at thumb-base arthritis.
Soft perforated neoprene that breathes
The orthosis is made from perforated neoprene, so the skin underneath breathes and the material does not turn clammy over a long day. The narrow wrist strap holds the thumb steady in a neutral position, which lets the joint settle and the inflammation calm down. You can trim the edges with scissors to fine-tune the fit to your own hand, and the other fingers stay free to move.

Who does the orthosis suit?
It suits you with thumb-base arthritis, a mild sprain or a strained thumb that needs rest and relief. Because the neoprene is perforated you can wear it day and night without the skin overheating. See more hand and wrist supports, or read about hand pain on NHS.uk.
