This brace is made from a perforated Neoprene fabric that's wonderfully breathable, with a terry cloth inner lining that feels luxurious against your skin.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Provides exceptional support for CMC joint injuries and conditions
  • Ideal for treating arthritis, osteoarthritis and tendonitis
  • Anatomically shaped strap wraps around the joint for excellent support and protection

  • High quality Neoprene material offers excellent stability and breathability without bulk
  • Comes in a range of sizes to suit the majority of users, with infant and child models available

Does This Splint Provide Support Without Impacting Mobility?

The Procool Thumb Restriction Splint features an anatomically shaped strap which wraps around the CMC thumb joint and the first metacarpal for targeted CMC joint support. This makes it perfect for the treatment of osteoarthritis and tendonitis in the thumb, while still allowing full finger function.

What is the CMC Joint and Where is it Located?

As you can see in the image below, the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is located at the base of your thumb, where the thumb metacarpal joins the wrist bones.

What Makes the Procool Range So Exceptional?

 The secret of what makes the Procool range of lightweight and breathable splints so extraordinary is the intelligent design and uncompromising quality of the materials used. The neoprene fabric is made with tiny perforations for remarkable breathability that keeps your skin feeling fresh all day long while the inner lining is a fluffy and soft terry cloth lining that feels fantastic against the skin. 

How Effective are Splints for Treating CMC Osteoarthritis Pain?

A meta-study by the School of Physiotherapy, University of Otago found that the most recent evidence shows appropriate thumb splinting results in a notable reduction in pain for the vast majority of people. This study also showed that there was a marked improvement in wrist and thumb function when the splint was worn for several weeks.

6 weeks post a thumb joint replacement this product gave me the protection I needed. Very comfortable to wear and not having the the metal strip in the thumb section allows the thumb to move freely. Only drawback is the price, it’s horrendously expensive with no competition in the market.

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for leaving a review with us and for letting us know how you're getting on with your purchase.

Compared with other, cheaper supports, the Procool Restriction Splint is manufactured using premium-quality neoprene and highly breathable membrane fabric, which gives it that ultra-flexible feel. It is also specifically tailored to target CMC osteoarthritic pain, which is something you just don't get with cheaper, "catch all" braces.

We're really glad to hear your Procool Support is working for you and we hope to hear from you again soon!

Kind regards,

Seth at Health and Care

I have found the splint very comfortable and supportive although I only have to wear it to carry heavy bags or for heavy jobs indoors.

Having developed painful tendonitis in my thumb as a result of too much keyboard work, I started to use this splint to help relieve the symptoms. Early days yet, but it does provide effective support and protection without being too bulky. It's perfectly possible to continue using a keyboard but still benefit from the support.

This is a great product if you suffer problems with your CMC joint and it offers real support and relief when doing every day things. This was recommended by my Occupational Therapist.
The service I received from Health & Care from my initial phone call to place my order, and the very quick despatch and receipt of my product, was first class. Would definitely recommend them.
