Which Size Is Right for Me?

To find your perfect size, please measure the circumference of your wrist as seen in the image below. Match your measurement to the sizing table below that to find the best size for you. If your measurement falls on a sizing boundary, we would recommend choosing the smaller size for a greater level of support.

Our sizing information includes the minimum and maximum circumference measurement for each size brace.

What Is the Air X Thumb Support Made With?

The Thumb Spica Support is manufactured using patented Air X fabric, which has the ability to transport moisture efficiently away from the body, drawing sweat and perspiration outward and minimising irritation in the process. Perfect for wear all year round, Air X fabric has tiny stippled holes that give your skin room to breathe, preventing the build up of odour and smell when used throughout the day. The Air X Support is 100% neoprene-free.

How Comfortable Is the Air X Thumb Spica Brace?

Unlike other supports, the Air X is designed to be worn for long periods thanks to its flexible Air X foundation. The Thumb Spica Brace is able follow the natural contours of the hand and wrist, making for a lightweight and soft brace that uses unique material to enhance breathability and comfort.

  • Breathable materials allow for air circulation
  • Reduces the risk of skin maceration
  • Soft and conformable material follows the contours of the body
  • Can be worn for long periods of time without issue

What Are the Benefits of a Thumb Spica Splint?

Splinting facilitates the immobilisation and stabilisation of the joint in question, helping to protect from further injury. One advantage of using a thumb spica splint instead of a cast or brace is that spica splints accommodate swelling thanks to their elasticity.

Additionally, elasticated splints also provide compression that helps increase circulation which helps reduce swelling and assists healing. 

What Makes Air X Fabric Better Than Other Materials?

The unique Air X fabric has the ability to transport moisture efficiently away from the body thanks to the layered fibre structures, which help promote moisture wicking. This results in a dry, comfortable feeling on the surface of the skin, helping your hand to feel fresh throughout the day.

Air X fabric is also a soft, lightweight material that perfectly follows the contours of the body. This means the Air X adapts and shapes itself to the individual wearing it providing exceptional comfort, even for extended periods of a time.

When measuring my wrist (which is easy enough). The problem arose when trying to decide what size I needed, as the sizes were confusing when the sizes on the main page did not equate to those sizes on the measuring page, hence although my actual wrist size measured 20cms the size available was 19cms (extra large), came out as being too big. Confusing!!

Hi Terry,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review with us. We always appreciate hearing the thoughts of our customers.

As the Air X Splint is attached via a hook and loop fastening, it has a wide fitting range. As we have personally measured the minimum and maximum circumference of this splint by hand, we are confident that our measurements accurately reflect the correct fit of each size. As this splint is designed to provide stability and support, the minimum measurement for each size is what we found to be the most compressive and supportive possible fit for that size.

We hope this information has been helpful and that we hear from you again soon.

Kind regards,

Seth at Health and Care

It feels so comfortable and the material does not irritate the skin. The length of the splint is also just right as others I bought weren't quite long enough. It seems to be doing the job, my thumb feels better after 1 week.

Black colour discreet and suitable for gardening. Washes easily and dries overnight if rolled in a towel to take excess moisture out first.Easy to put on, very comfortable against my sensitive skin.
Why the wrist strap is so long amazes me. I have had to cut inches off- waste of a synthetic material as well as not looking as smart.

I bought this for RSI due to my job although I have not worn it at work yet, I have worn it at night time and have already found a difference in pain during the day. So far I am impressed with the pain reduction by wearing it albeit for a short while. I would recommend this product.
