Ligaflex Rhizo right size 1

The static thumb orthosis for the right hand, Ligaflex Rhizo right size 1, is a custom-fitted orthosis that provides stability and relief for the joints of the thumb. It is designed to fix the thumb in an optimal position, minimizing stress on the trapeziometacarpal joint while maintaining hand functionality. Its anatomical design ensures that the orthosis provides correct support, making it suitable for both daily use and rehabilitation.

Function and use

This static thumb orthosis is used specifically to stabilize the base of the thumb in situations where relief and extra support are required. By restricting movements that may strain the joint, the Ligaflex Rhizo allows the user to perform other activities with the hand without discomfort. It is ideal for patients with basal joint osteoarthritis, peri-scaphoid osteoarthritis, mild sprains, as well as for post-operative conditions or following a trapeziectomy.

Stability and fit

The built-in resilient wire structure allows for individual adjustment of the orthosis to optimize fit and stability. This construction holds the thumb in a relieved position and helps reduce the pressure load on the joint. Ligaflex Rhizo right size 1 is specifically designed for the right hand and fits wrist circumferences between 13 and 17 cm.

Material and comfort

The product is made of high-quality materials such as Thermytex and textile, which have both breathable and antibacterial properties. The thin material ensures a low profile for excellent comfort, even during extended use. The interior of the orthosis is designed to promote good ventilation and prevent a stuffy feeling around the hand.

The orthosis is equipped with adjustable Velcro straps, providing an adaptable and secure fit for each individual. Its design makes it easy to put on and take off without compromising stability during use.

Ligaflex Rhizo right size 1 is recommended for support in managing thumb ailments where stabilization and relief are essential, but where hand functionality should not be fully restricted. The product should not be worn directly against damaged skin.
