RhizoLoc Thumb Stabilizer by Bauerfeind. The RhizoLoc Thumb Stabilizer is great to wear during sports or work when thumb joint and motion restrictions are necessary yet impact and stretching are expected. Cinching the Velcro abducts the thumb so motion at the joint is restricted even more effectively.

  • Soft, seamless, lightweight, breathable material with air pores that allow air to circulate and make it so comfortable to wear

  • Thumb can be used as a stable post for grasping and daily activities can continue uninterrupted

  • Can also be worn at night, or at work with no compression by loosening the straps
