Not Sure Which Size To Choose?

If you in between or at the end of a size range, consider these tips when choosing your size
*If you have thin hands, choose the smaller size
*If you have full or muscular hands, choose the larger size.

Still Not Sure?

Purchase two sizes – return one and keep the other. Our return policy lets you return an unworn brace. Please include all accessories and packaging with your return

Wear: Wear according to directions from your health care provider or as needed according to your symptoms. There is no restriction on how long to wear this splint. Wear a waterproof glove over the splint if working or playing in water

Care: Hand or machine wash in a small mesh laundry bag. To prevent snags, close the Velcro when washing. Lay flat to air dry.

Fabric: Nylon and Spandex, Polyurethane foam, 100% Latex-free

How is this brace different from the neoprene brace I have?
The special stretch-memory fabric is only 3/8” thick and it conforms to the curves of your hand and thumb without feeling bulky. Unlike most neoprene materials, the brace is fully air permeable to help minimize and wick away sweat. The material is 100% latex-free and has no rubbery odor to it.

Will this limit me from using my hand?
You should be able to do most daily activities while wearing the 3pp Prima Thumb Brace. The straps are designed to comfortably contour around your hand and thumb without restriction, leaving your fingers free for movement. Remember, the purpose of a thumb brace is to rest or protect your thumb so you may need to adjust how you do things or eliminate some activities to allow for healing.

Can I wear this brace in water?
The 3pp Prima Thumb Brace is water resistant, but not waterproof. When submerging your hand in water, we recommend wearing a waterproof glove over your brace and going up a size in the glove.

How long will this brace last?
How long the brace lasts will depend on what you do when you wear it. If you use it for light to moderate activities, you can expect the splint to last longer than if you are wearing it for heavy work. The Prima Thumb Brace is made with stretchable binding around the brace which will help prevent fraying. Regular cleaning of the brace will also help extend its life. If using daily, you may want to purchase a second brace to always have a clean one available.

Can I wear a glove over the brace?
Yes, the slim design of the Prima Thumb Brace makes it comfortable to wear under gloves, but you will likely have to go up a glove size. In cold weather when wearing heavier hand coverings, consider wearing a mitten instead of a glove if outside for long periods.

Why is this a better brace?
The 3pp Prima Thumb Brace can be fully adjusted to your comfort level for occasional or long-term wear. Fully adjustable, wrap-around straps attach anywhere on the brace to give you the right amount of support and comfort for your level of activity. The contoured thumb strap features hook tabs to prevent the strap from slipping and there is extra cushioning across the web space for added thumb support. Weighing in at less than 1 ounce, you can easily reach into your pocket or purse and slide your hand into your shirt or jacket sleeve without having to remove the Prima Thumb Brace.

A keeper!

Have only had it for one week plus, but so far am pleased. Easy to take on and off-intuitive! Allows ease of movement while providing protection. Adjustable pressure. Dries quickly. Streamlined enough to wear under a rubber glove. Works for bike riding; hope I’ll be able to try tennis one day.

Great splint for thumb CMC OA

I am an OT CHT and have just discovered this thumb splint. I work in a busy orthopedic clinic and we have stocked the comfort cool wrap but after finding and trying the 3pp Prima thumb brace we will be switching products. The 3pp thumb brace gives better support and does not bunch on the volar aspect of the thumb like other splints. Glad to have discovered this splint !!

Using with cane

In addition to arthritis in my thumb, I am also experiencing back pains and need to use a cane. The splint has been a life saver. I no longer have pain while using the cane thanks to the splint.

3pp brace for CMC arthritis

My hand therapist suggested I try the Prima brace because my current one was wearing out and because the Prima brace had some nice features: the sides were hemmed and the thumb had it's own support strap, which I needed. I've only worn the braces for about two months so I can't speak about durability, but the material is soft and comfortable, and the brace is supportive. I had a little problem with a sticky part that closed the brace. The customer service person said they'd send out a replacement brace. No need to send mine in for repair. The new brace was sent right away. Customer service was fast and responsive, and a pleasure to deal with. This is a good company.

Thumb Brace and Finger Splints

I have been ordering finger splints from Oh My Arthritis for a number of years. The splits and brace immobilize the fingers and thumb because when I bend them is when I feel the pain. I lift weights 3 times a week and I have substituted the thumb brace in lieu of the lifting glove. Perfect. I highly reccomend these products to greatly reduce pain.

Wonderful fit

Having tried numerous braces for the arthritis in my wrist and thumb and finding no relief, I was a little skeptical at first. However the support for my thumb is amazing and I felt relief right away. When the right wrist gets to a point of need I will purchase one for it as well. So glad that I purchased this brace. I highly recommend it.

Support without too much restriction

As a physician myself I bought this product to support my chronically inflamed L thumb MCP joint which tends to get torqued during rough mountain bike riding. I like it because it gives me reasonable support without too much restrictive movement. Make sure to read/watch application instructions carefully because it is quite easy to mis-apply the neoprene support.

Light support

This brace offers very light support and is comfortable. Great support requires the Fix Comfort Brace but it only comes in 2 sizes which may be a problem if you fall in between small and large.

Comfortable

This thumb brace is less heavy and therefore more comfortable than others I’ve tried. It keeps my CMC joint steady and supported. It’s easy to put on and take off. The price is good.

Supportive and Comfortable! LOVE IT!!!

I absolutely LOVE the PRIMA THUMB BRACE. It is by far the most supportive and most comfortable thumb splint I have tried (and I have tried many!). This one is tops. It provides great relief and it doesn't get in the way of my activities - I can wear it all day long, and it is comfortable to wear at night. I am so glad that I gave this thumb brace a try. I would give it 10+ stars if I could!!!
