Our Top Pick For Rhizoathrosis
The Air X Wrist and Thumb Brace is our top pick for treating rhizoarthrosis. Unlike many thumb and wrist supports, it features a two-piece wrist and thumb brace with longitudinal seam that effectively stabilises all areas affected by rhizoarthrosis.
What Is Rhizoarthrosis?
Rhizoarthrosis is a mild form of osteoarthritis that affects the joint in the thumb between the fist metacarpal and the wrist bone. This joint is involved in many of the thumb's movements, like moving it up and down.
Sizing of the Air X Wrist and Thumb Brace
The Wrist and Thumb Brace comes in sizes from extra small to extra large, based on wrist circumference. Please consult the table below to see which size is best for you.

How Comfortable Is This Brace?
To help you feel as comfortable as possible while wearing the Air X brace, its soft and lightweight material enables it to perfectly conform to the contours of your hand and wrist. This gives a perfect fit, making the brace exceptionally comfortable to wear over longer periods.
How Much Support Does This Brace Offer?
This brace offers maximum support, effective enough to relieve symptoms of rhizoarthrosis. The thumb stay can be easily adjusted for the required degree of abduction and the thumb fastening can be easily altered for a more tailored fit.
Will This Brace Make My Wrist Sweat?
This brace is made of AirX fabric which is specially formulated to wick moisture away from the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and dry at all times and helping it to breathe. Not only does this maximise comfort, it also helps to keep skin healthy and clean.
Washing Instructions
To keep your support feeling fresh and clean, you can wash it regularly by hand, or in a machine on a gentle wash. Avoid bleaching agents or heat sources.
