Is there any thumb icing or cooling for the lower joint portion of the thumb at the base of the palm, where it joins the wrist? Or any cooling packets to be adjusted or added to hand elastic support gloves?

The <a href="{{store direct_url='aircast-hand-and-wrist-cryo-cuff'}}">Cryo/Cuff hand and wrist cuff</a> can be used to ice the hand/thumb. Unfortunately we do not have anything that works in adjunct to our wrist braces.

I have the Aircast A2 wrist brace with spica. I would like to know how to clean this model without ruining it. It smells awful (probably bacteria/fungus) and is causing skin problems (fungus). We have to use it at least another four weeks during the day until a scaphoid fracture is fully healed.

We recommend Hand Washing the brace with water and a mild detergent/soap. Do not put in washing machine or dryer. Air dry the brace.

Do you recommend this brace to use after a cmc joint athroplasty surgery?
Question by: Barbara on Nov 16, 2013, 9:15 PM
This brace will work fine after the surgery you had. It will immobilize the thumb as well as the wrist.

Will this brace work with carpel tunnel syndrome pain to wear all the time and not just at night. All the others that I have tried do not relieve my pain, so I thought I would try a different type other than the cheap flimsy ones you buy at Walmart.

This will help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and you can wear it all the time. Did you have troubles with your thumb? This does immobilize your thumb as well. If you just need something for your wrist then you will need <a href="{{store direct_url='aircast-a2-wrist-brace'}}">this</a>.

I have tendentious in thumb, wrist and elbows. I've tried so many braces that put too much pressure on the thumb. Can the stabilizers be removed and are they bendable to to fit my thumbs.
Question by: Grace on Aug 7, 2015, 8:28 AM
The stays in the thumb on this brace cannot be removed but they are aluminum so they should be able to be molded.

I suffer from bursitis in multiple joints. It is in my wrist and thumb. I currently own a Procare Quick Fit WTO. I've never liked the fit. It's very bulky. I'm now needing a spica split for my left hand and was wondering if this air cast a2 model could replace what I have? If not what do you recommend?
Question by: Bev on Sep 23, 2015, 4:26 PM
The A2 Wrist brace with thumb spica is definitely going to be a little cooler than the WTO. Any brace that covers both the wrist and thumb is going to be a little bulky. It may be slightly less bulky than the WTO.

Is this brace suitable for Dequervain's Tenosynovitis? The others I found that said "thumb spica" haven't kept my thumb from moving very well and aren't tight enough to give the support I'm looking for.
Question by: Daisy on Oct 6, 2015, 8:57 AM
Yes the Aircast A2 Wrist Brace with Thumb Spica is indicated for Dequervain's

I have been told I have trigger finger and tendinitis of my thumb. I am in need of a brace that will totally immobilize my thumb Right now I am in a removable hard cast 1/2 side that is secured with an ace bandage. Will this brace provide complete support for my thumb and immobilize it from tip to wrist?

The A2 Wrist and thumb will immobilize the thumb completely.
