BioSkin Wrist Thumb Spica Brace | Support for Wrist, Thumb & Sprains
The BioSkin Wrist Thumb Spica is a lightweight, low-profile brace designed to provide essential support for both your thumb and wrist. This splint effectively immobilises the thumb joint while delivering comfortable compression to the wrist, which helps ease pain and speed recovery for a range of injuries and conditions.
A wrist thumb spica is worn for various hand and wrist conditions, including thumb sprains (like Skier’s thumb and Gamekeeper’s thumb), tendonitis (De Quervain’s syndrome), arthritis (at the thumb’s basal joint), and repetitive strain injury (RSI). It is also highly effective for post-traumatic or post-operative conditions, wrist sprains, and fractures. Whether you’re dealing with a sprain, arthritis, or another overuse injury, the Wrist Thumb Spica provides crucial support without restricting your hand’s function.
Its design allows for full use of your fingers and hand, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day. Made from BioSkin’s unique, proprietary materials, this brace is breathable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic, with four-way stretch fabrics that move with you. The soft, moisture-wicking microfleece keeps your skin cool and dry, ensuring all-day comfort. For a customised fit, the brace features lightweight aluminium stays that can be reshaped to the exact contour of your thumb and wrist, providing precise immobilisation. The inner sleeve delivers comfortable compression to the joints, which helps to increase blood flow and reduce pain during rehabilitation.
Indications for use:
- Arthritis and Joint Conditions: Especially for thumb basal joint arthritis (CMC arthritis) and instability.
- Thumb Injuries: Including Skier’s thumb, Gamekeeper’s thumb, and UCL injuries.
- Tendonitis and Overuse Injuries: Such as De Quervain’s syndrome and general tendonitis.

Not very comfortable for me, I seem to fall between sizes ,so perhaps not the correct splint for my condition.
However, very well made splint.
