Bauerfeind ManuLoc® Rhizo Brace

Bauerfeind ManuLoc Rhizo Brace is a high quality brace designed to stabilize and support the wrist and thumb

In the case of irritation and combination injuries that affect the wrist as well as the thumb carpometacarpal joint and thumb CMC joint, the ManuLoc Rhizo immobilizes the wrist and holds the thumb securely in a relaxed position with a support.

The construction of the brace can be individually adjusted in line with the progress of treatment, whereby the mobility of the thumb (CMC) joint is gradually increased and eventually the thumb support can be removed.

• Stabilizes the wrist and supports the thumb
• Mobility can be adjusted as treatment progresses
• Easy to put on and take off with one hand

Complete therapeutic solution

The aluminum stays incorporated in the ManuLoc Rhizo wrist brace provide secure support for the wrist and thumb. These stays are already anatomically contoured, but they can also be individually adjusted by  a health professional to offer further optimal support.

Although immobilization of the joint is paramount at the start of treatment, it is also important to gradually move the joint and exercise the muscles around the joint to ensure long-term regeneration. The secure hold provided by the thumb support can be loosened using a

Velcro tab at the thumb, giving the thumb CMC joint greater freedom of movement in a controlled way. Once a sufficient degree of mobility has been restored, the thumb support can be completely removed. This makes it possible for you to grip objects with all of your fingers again, while your hand is still stabilized and the risk of further injuries is reduced.

Practical and comfortable

This brace is easy to put on and take off with one hand. The ManuLoc Rhizo can be opened completely along its length using large micro Velcro fastenings.

The ends of the fastening straps have an integrated pull-back stop device and allow the fastenings to be secured quickly and to the desired extent. The orthosis therefore fits like a glove, and the thumb support can be positioned individually.

Thanks to its breathable materials with additional air holes, the ManuLoc Rhizo wrist brace is extremely comfortable to wear. The orthosis has a flat design and is made of velour and micro Velcro, which enables it to be worn comfortably under your clothes, without pulling any threads, and also makes it particularly lightweight.
