Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is actually a decent brace for basal joint arthritis (I have basal joint arthritis in my right thumb which has progressively gotten worse over the years), but the velcro straps make it almost unusable unless you don't do anything at all with your hand. I had the original one which had velcro attachment straps that become like two pieces of silk after just weeks of use. I mean they wouldn't stay together at all, not even for a second, so the brace was completely worthless in less than a couple of months. To the company's credit, they sent me a replacement which had "new and improved straps" since they say they had a bad batch of straps during the manufacturing process of my original brace. Well, the new straps were an improvement, but they probably lasted twice as long before they became worthless, in other words, about 4 months. For such an expensive brace, you would appropriately expect that they are using the highest quality products available to manufacture their brace, but the fact that such a fundamental and easy thing to fix like a velcro strap would elude this company for years is just bizarre. During the third month of the SECOND brace, I noticed that the velcro straps would pop off occasionally (meaning they just came apart when you reached for something, not because something pulled on the top part of the velcro). This started to occur more often, then it became common and now I pretty much don't use the brace since the straps just constantly fail. Even though the brace itself works well for basal joint arthritis, and is better than the dozen plus other braces I have used, I would definitely NOT recommend this product since they apparently haven't gotten velcro figured out yet, and are content selling braces they know will fail in a short period of time. If you have cash for a disposable brace that lasts 4-5 months, then I probably would recommend it.
