Description
The ManuLoc Rhizo Wrist Brace is a highly specialized orthosis designed for the stabilization of the wrist and thumb, particularly in cases of irritation, injury, or combination injuries affecting both the wrist and the thumb's carpometacarpal and basal joints. It offers a solution that not only immobilizes these areas to facilitate healing but also adjusts in response to the patient's treatment progression. The brace features anatomically contoured aluminum stays that can be customized by an orthotist to ensure the optimal level of support. As recovery advances, the thumb support's stability can be lessened to incrementally increase the thumb basal joint's mobility, eventually allowing for complete removal of the thumb support. This adaptive approach enables patients to regain their grip function gradually while maintaining necessary support to mitigate the risk of further injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear a wrist brace while typing or working?
Yes — many wrist braces are designed for daytime use during work. Softer compression supports allow typing while providing light support. Rigid splints may restrict typing and are better suited for high-load activities or night use.
How do I clean a wrist brace?
Most fabric wrist braces can be hand-washed in cold water with mild soap and air dried. Remove any removable splints before washing. Check the specific care label — some rigid braces can only be wiped clean, not submerged.
Does Medibrace offer free shipping in Canada?
Yes. All orders ship free across Canada with tracked courier delivery in 1–2 business days.
What is Medibrace's return policy?
We offer 30-day hassle-free returns. If your brace doesn't fit or meet your expectations, return it for a full refund. Free return shipping is included.
Are Medibrace products covered by insurance in Canada?
Many extended health benefit plans cover orthopedic braces. Check with your insurer and ask your physician or physiotherapist for a prescription or letter of medical necessity to support your claim.
