ManuLoc Rhizo Long – Extended Wrist, Thumb & Forearm Orthosis

Product Overview

The ManuLoc Rhizo Long is a rigid wrist, thumb, and forearm support orthosis designed to immobilize the wrist, thumb carpometacarpal joint, and thumb basal joint while also extending support to the forearm. It is particularly effective for post-traumatic and post-operative care, providing stabilization while allowing for progressive mobility adjustments throughout the healing process. The thumb support can be gradually adjusted and eventually removed, ensuring a smooth transition to full hand function while maintaining wrist and forearm stability.
