Bauerfeind ManuLoc Rhizo Long Plus Wrist Brace

ManuLoc Rhizo Long Plus – Full Hand & Forearm Immobilization Orthosis

Product Overview

The ManuLoc Rhizo Long Plus is an advanced full-hand immobilization orthosis, designed to stabilize the wrist, thumb, long fingers, and forearm while providing progressive rehabilitation options. It offers immediate pain relief by restricting movement in the wrist, thumb carpometacarpal and basal joints, and long finger joints. The thumb brace and finger support are removable, allowing for a gradual increase in mobility as treatment progresses. This lightweight, breathable orthosis can be easily put on and removed with one hand.
