Neo G Thumb Support
Suffering from injured, weak or arthritic thumbs can prevent you from enjoying sporting activities and performing well at work. The Neo G Thumb Support helps minimise repetitive thumb movements and strain, particularly as you type, write, and perform other occupational or sporting activities.
Some supports inhibit free movement in your fingers, but the Thumb Support only targets the thumb so your fingers are able to remain mobile. With its malleable metal splint, you can partially immobilise your thumb to stabilise and support the area more. Made with heat-therapeutic neoprene, the brace also helps alleviate aches and stiffness by warming your muscles and joints in the thumb and wrist.

Additional Information
The indications outlined may not be suitable for your condition, so always seek medical advice from your physician prior to use. Ensure the Thumb Support is not uncomfortably tight as this will restrict blood flow. Avoid wearing the wrap for prolonged periods (e.g. while sleeping) and only use on clean, intact skin.
Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the specified materials. Do not use the support if liniments, ointments, gels, creams or any other substances have been applied to the affected area. If a rash develops, pain is prolonged, or conditions worsen, discontinue use and consult a physician.
