How does it work?

The Push CMC stabilises the basal joint of the thumb (CMC-1) and places the thumb's metacarpal (metacarpal 1) in a functional position. This creates a functional thumb arc, which remains stable while the hand is used. It relieves the pain when the thumb is under stress.

This method of stabilisation leaves the MCP-1 joint and the wrist free, to allow maximum functioning of the hand. For optimal performance, the aluminium core needs to fit closely to the thumb.
