Developed to relieve the joint pain caused by thumb osteoarthritis, this flexible orthotic allows you to perform tasks of daily life while restricting traumatic micro-movements. It can be worn during the day, as often as you like…
Informations
Wearing the EPITACT® proprioceptive orthotic on a daily basis helps to relieve the joint pain caused by osteoarthritis of the base of the thumb. It restricts traumatic micro-movements (moving hands in mid-air while walking or talking etc.), holds the thumb in a resting position, and retains heat locally to the joint. Flexible, thin and discreet, this orthotic allows you to retain the full functionality of your hand: you can drive, write, use your phone… and wear your watch or jewellery!
INDICATIONS
Helps to relieve articular arthrosis pain at the root of the thumb by restricting microinstability.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
- Do not use on an open wound.
- In the event of severe oedema: look closely at the splint during use. Remove the splint if it is too tight and impedes circulation. When in doubt seek advice from your GP or your pharmacist.
- Do not use near a flame or incandescent body.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This product is a day use splint.
Two versions are available: right hand and left hand splints (stitching is inside the hand splint).
WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The EPITACT® flexible proprioceptive splint (orthosis) enables maintaining full function of the hand throughout the day. It is used as a complement to rigid splints which are more suitable for nocturnal use.
WEARING THE SPLINT
Attach the splint to your hand by sliding your thumb into the thumb section. Stitching must be inside the splint. For optimal comfort, adjust the position of the splint by slightly moving the stitching one way or another in the centre of the splint.

Me convient totalement
Facile à porter, souple, lavable, efficace, le soir devant la télé, en voiture.... la nuit.
Je le recommande
Le soutien du pouce me permet de travailler sur un clavier et surtout avec une souris d'ordinateur avec beaucoup moins de douleur. Bon produit, je le recommande.
Parfait
Très utile lorsque l'on a une crise de rhumatisme, cela évite de lâcher l'objet que l'on vient de saisir.
Soulage la journée
Je la mets dans la journée quand j'ai vraiment trop mal, elle me soulage dans les mouvements quotidiens. La nuit j'ai une orthèse rigide.
Efficace
Evite de faire trop de mouvements en mobilisant le pouce et permet à celui-ci de ne pas trop servir et apaise les douleurs.
Très Bien
tres adaptée et discrète , en possède 2 pour pouvoir la nettoyer régulièrement
