What is the Push Sports Thumb Brace?

The new Push Thumb Brace is designed to relieve pain that occurs after thumb ligament injuries such as skier’s thumb or joint instability from overuse or trauma: overstretching, sprain, or (partial) ligament rupture, overstretching or dislocating the ligaments in the middle thumb joint or MCP-joint.

How does the thumb brace from Push Sports work?

The thumb support brace provides targeted stabilisation for the MCP-1 joint following injury, overstretching, or dislocation, allowing damaged ligaments to heal properly. Adjustable diagonal straps offer customisable movement restriction, lateral support, and exceptional position retention while keeping the palm and wrist unrestricted for normal movement.

The brace is easily worn under a glove.

Hand remains functioning

The Push Sports Thumb Brace delivers effective thumb support, while allowing the palm and the rest of the hand to remain fully active, so you can maintain daily activities and an effective grip without sacrificing protection.

This open-palm design ensures you can comfortably participate in sports and physical activities, as well as manage routine tasks, all while the injured thumb is stabilised and shielded during recovery.
