Push Metagrip Sizing

The thumb Push brace must be correctly SIZED and SQUEEZED to work. To ensure proper sizing, watch the sizing video and read the instructions:

• Use a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of your hand just below the knuckles of all fingers, excluding the thumb. This indicates hand size but not necessarily thumb size. Please take this into consideration when choosing your Push MetaGrip size. If your measurement is near the size break point, only trying on both sizes can allow you to determine the best fit.
• Trying on the Push MetaGrip accomplishes an ideal fit around the thumb. For optimal results, professional measurement and fitting by a therapist/physician are suggested.
• Be sure to follow instructions for squeezing the metal insert to fit snugly around your thumb.

	Size	MCP Circumference
	Size 0	5-7/8 to 6-7/8 inches
	Size 1	6-7/8 to 7-3/4 inches
	Size 2	7-3/4 to 8-7/8 inches
	Size 3	8-7/8 to 10-5/8 inches

Conditions to use

• Pain from osteoarthritis at the CMC joint
• Instability of the CMC joint
• Post-operative care after CMC surgery

Contraindications:

• Thumb CMC osteoarthritis, which has progressed to significant subluxation with a "shoulder sign," will not allow the MetaGrip thumb splint to fit properly.
• Those lacking normal thenar muscle bulk may experience inadequate stabilization, as normal thenar muscle bulk is required for optimal fit and function.

How does Push MetaGrip help with Thumb Arthritis?

The Push MetaGrip CMC Thumb Brace is specifically designed to provide support and relief for individuals with joint issues with thumb CMC (Carpometacarpal). It helps in the following ways:

1. Stabilization: The brace offers stability to the thumb CMC joint, which can be affected by conditions like osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, or hypermobility. Providing support reduces excessive movement and prevents painful or damaging joint motions.
2. Pain Reduction: The brace's compression and support help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with thumb CMC joint conditions. It provides targeted pressure to the affected area, reducing inflammation and promoting pain relief.
3. Improved Function: The brace enhances thumb function by stabilizing the CMC joint. It allows for better grip strength, improved range of motion, and increased confidence in performing daily activities that involve thumb movements, such as grasping or pinching.
4. Customizable Fit: The Push MetaGrip Thumb Brace features an adjustable strap system that allows for a personalized and secure fit. This ensures optimal comfort and effectiveness for individual needs.
5. Unobtrusive Design: The brace has a low-profile design, making it discreet and easy to wear throughout the day. Its streamlined construction allows unrestricted thumb movement while providing the necessary support and stabilization.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do you measure for a Push MetaGrip thumb brace?

Professional measurement and fitting by a therapist will help in getting optimal results.
