AKSO MEDICOS CMC Thumb Brace Left Hand for Arthritis Pain, Light Brown, M

I had a pair of the expensive Push brand. I got those through my insurance provider, but I still paid retail for them. I lost one of the expensive ones recently so I looked them up on Amazon. I found these. They’re a little bit different but still very effective. I’m an outdoor construction worker and I use these every day on the job site. I burn through them pretty fast. So I can go through three sets of these, almost 4 at the same cost of a set of the expensive ones.

This one works as well as the very expensive one. I would only have two complaints against it one is the velcro already not working as well as it should it does come with the replacement which is good however I haven't even been using it that long and I don't take it in the shower so it should last longer. The second thing is the metal that they use to go around the thumb joint needs to be stronger it really doesn't have a lot of strength when you try to compress it around your thumb. For someone like me who has severe arthritis that's necessary but if you just have mild it's not such a big deal. I like that I can wear these also while I work out they help when I lift weights because they don't put the pressure on my thumb. I would recommend these just as much as I would recommend the ones that cost $100

Helps a great deal with preventing over extending my thumb. Well made with many adjustments.

The brace helps stabilize my CMC, but it gets uncomfortable after an hour or so. The stiff plastic piece rubs, even when worn over a cotton liner, and the strap started peeling as soon as it got wet, so it's not machine washable, as stated. I missed the return window so trimmed the top section and covered with moleskin to rub less.

These braces were amazing so much better than the expensive ones that are like $130 for this brace that these do the same thing I think these are better quality they’re more comfortable and way way cheaper

I’m returning this product. It did work keeping my thumb stable but the material was very uncomfortable.

I have CMC osteoarthritis pain and now have a collection of CMC thumb braces. Akso is one of the brands I prefer. The Velpeau has enough rigidity to provide support -- and the style allows the user to still pinch their thumb and first finger. Maintaining the ability to pinch is important because it means you can wear the brace all the time. I tried other style braces like thumb splints and end up taking them off a lot because of the low mobility. I also have tried more neoprene-style braces/wraps but like braces like Akso style because the plastic is much easier and faster to clean, and can be quickly dried if I get it wet while doing something like washing my hands. The straps are easy to clean as well and can be switched out easily. So far the best brands I've found are Velpeau, Fortemotus, and Akso. I considered the Push Metagrip brand which is supposedly the gold standard for CMC braces. My research showed it has the most inflexible plastic and has more structure than I need. Plus it's 3x more expensive than the brands I listed. I also tried the KD brand and it has the opposite issue in that the plastic is too pliable and fails to provide good support. One additional suggestion. Pairing the CMC brace with a liner will make the brace be more comfortable to wear, especially in the summer. I really like the "3-Point Products CMCcare Brace Accessories Kit, Straps, Tabs & Cozy Liners" on Amazon. They're expensive if you just need the liner but are worth it. They're also more useful than most of the thumb compression sleeves so many brands offer. If you have osteoarthritis, you don't need compression sleeves or gloves (those are intended for rheumatoid issues). If you're getting a brace, also consider getting replacement straps, especially if you just have 1 brace. Then you can switch out straps to wash them. Velpeau has straps that will work with Fortemotus and Akso.

I have advanced issues in my thumb joint - so far it has helped and is comfortable. I have worn it a week. My only complaint in the strap is starting to peel on the edges. I have put a question in to seller how to get another one. I may just return it if I don’t hear back. I think if I coated the edges with something it may keep it from peeling further.
