Squeezing a handle, turning a key, or opening a jar often awakens pain at the base of the thumb. The RhizoLoc wraps around the thumb and rests on the hand with an aluminum splint that can be bent to precisely fit the hand's shape. The thumb remains held in the correct position, and the collateral ligaments are relieved, to alleviate pain and promote healing.

• The thumb's Velcro tab adjusts to fully immobilize the joint or allow more movement as healing progresses.
• The Velcro fasteners open and close with one hand, useful when the affected thumb is painful.
• The porous fabric allows air circulation and limits moisture under the brace.
