MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace

The MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace helps to provide pain relief from carpometacarpal (CMC) joint pain while allowing you to continue with your everyday activities. The brace stabilises the CMC joint by applying pressure to the base of the thumb, while simultaneously applying an abduction force to the thumb.

Who Is the CMC-X Thumb Brace Suitable For?

The MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace provides gentle pressure and helps to stabilise the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This makes it most suitable to help with the following conditions:

• CMC instability
• CMC joint osteoarthritis (OA)
• CMC sprains
• Medial subluxation (partial dislocation) of the CMC joint

How Do I Find the Right Size?

The MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace is available in five sizes. To find the right size for you, please measure the circumference of your wrist at the narrowest point, then consult the sizing table below. You can select the preferred size from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

How Does the MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace Work?

The CMC-X Thumb Brace provides pain relief while allowing you to continue with the activities you enjoy. The X-Strap can be easily adjusted to position the first metacarpal joint (base of the thumb) in the desired degree of abduction to help stabilise the CMC joint, while still allowing the thumb to have functional mobility.

Moreover, the adjustable Stay Pod works together with the X-Strap to provide gentle pressure, and help stabilise the CMC joint. The pod contains a malleable aluminium stay, and is easily bent and re-positioned by a medical professional to provide a more customised fit.

Is This Brace Suitable for Either Hand?

No, to ensure the best possible fit, the MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace is available separately for either the Left or the Right hand. You can select the preferred option from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

The CMC-X Thumb Brace is also available with a speed lacing system for faster and easier application. This version of the brace is bilateral, which means that it will fit both your left or your right hand.

What Materials Is the CMC-X Thumb Brace Made From?

This state-of-the-art thumb support is made from CoolFlex material, which is a breathable, hypoallergenic material that provides comfort and compression. The CMC-X brace does not contain any natural latex rubber or neoprene.

Can I Wash It?

Yes, you can machine wash the MedSpec CMC-X Thumb Brace using a gentle cycle, then air dry it. Do not bleach, iron or tumble dry the brace.
