Gel Thumb Support

Hands that have worked gardens and knit afghans for years sometimes need a bit of steadying at the base of the thumb. This flexible gel sleeve slides over the wrist and thumb to hug the joint through ordinary chores. Miles Kimball keeps it in stock for anyone who wants to keep peeling potatoes and writing letters.

Flexible gel material

Soft, stretchy gel conforms close to the skin without stiff stays or bulky straps. It bends naturally as fingers move to shell peas, turn door handles or hold a pen.

Worn on either hand

The reversible shape slips onto the left or right thumb with equal ease. Keep one by the kitchen sink and another on the bedside table for morning routines.

Stays out of the way

Thin construction fits right under household gloves or winter mittens. It adds gentle support through a morning of yard work or an afternoon spent at the sewing table.

Rinses clean with water

Wash the smooth surface with mild soap and warm water at the bathroom sink. It air dries quickly so it is ready to put back on before the next project begins.
