BioSkin Thumb Spica
The thumb is an integral part of the body as it helps you pick up and hold items. As such, thumb complaints and injuries can be both frustrating and painful. The BioSkin Thumb Spica is a low-profile thumb brace designed to minimise thumb movement following injuries like sprains or breaks.
As you recover from an injury, it is important that the affected area is protected but your fingers' movement is not impeded so you can carry out tasks unhindered. The BioSkin Spica keeps your thumb immobilised in a supported position so you can recover from injury without running the risk of suffering further. The support has also been created so your fingers have a full range of motion.
