The Ottobock Rhizo Arexa Thumb Brace 50P22 is designed to stabilise your thumb and provide support, ensuring that you can continue your day-to-day life with your injured thumb well on the way to recovery.

Who Can Use the Ottobock Arexa Thumb Support?
The Ottobock Rhizo Arexa Thumb Brace works by stabilising the thumb using two individually formable aluminium splints. These splints place pressure on the back of the thumb, therefore preventing movement and allowing your thumb to recover. The brace can be used for the following:
- Overloading (tendinopathy)
- Ligament injury
- Thumb sprains
- Subluxation
- Dislocation
- Thumb instability
- Irritation
- Paralysis
- CMC joint osteoarthritis

How Do I Fit the Ottobock 50P22 Rhizo Arexa Brace?
Fitting the brace is designed to be easy, perfect for someone who's struggling with pain in their thumb. It features two hook-and-loop closures that allow you to simply fit the brace around your hand. Make sure your thumb is surrounded by the smaller end of the brace, and that all parts are securely attached.
How Comfortable Is the Ottobock Thumb Brace?
The Rhizo Arexa Brace is a comfortable thumb brace that works by exerting pressure on the back of the thumb with two aluminium splints. Despite this, it is comfortable, and won't cause discomfort during use. The lack of movement in your thumb will help to relieve pain and speed up the rate of recovery.
Can I Still Move My Hand When in Use?
The Rhizo Area Thumb Brace is designed in such a way that you get total movement of your four fingers and hand. Although you can't move your thumb, the rest of your hand is still completely free to move how you want it to move.
