Chattanooga Exos Long Thumb Spica – Zero-Friction Reformable Immobilization
/
Exos Long Thumb Spica
The Exos Long Thumb Spica is a cutting-edge clinical orthosis that represents the future of orthopedic stabilization. Utilizing advanced thermoformable technology, this brace creates a Zero-Friction, custom-contoured fit that provides the rigid immobilization of a traditional plaster cast with none of the weight or hygiene limitations. Specifically designed to stabilize the wrist, the Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, and the Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint, the Exos Long Thumb Spica is the premier choice for treating scaphoid fractures, De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, and complex ligament injuries.

Clinical Features & Patient Benefits
- Thermoformable Custom Fit: The brace can be heated and molded directly to the patient’s anatomy, ensuring a "Zero-Friction" precision fit that can be re-formed as swelling decreases or the clinical protocol changes.
- Waterproof & Washable: Constructed from specialized materials that allow the patient to shower or even swim, maintaining "Zero-Friction" skin integrity and hygiene compared to traditional casting.
- BOA® Fit System: Features a micro-adjustable dial that allows for dynamic compression and a secure, "Zero-Friction" stabilized fit that the patient can easily manage with one hand.
- Radiolucent Material: The entire orthosis can remain in place during X-ray procedures, allowing for "Zero-Friction" clinical monitoring of bone healing without removing the support.
The Clinical Authority: Why Professionals Trust Exos Technology
Orthopedic surgeons and Hand Specialists specify the Exos Long Thumb Spica for its unique ability to bridge the gap between casting and bracing. Its "Zero-Friction" stabilized environment is particularly critical for scaphoid fractures, which require long-term, high-integrity immobilization. Because the material is antimicrobial and breathable, it significantly reduces the risk of skin maceration and odors associated with non-removable splints. This technology empowers clinicians to provide "cast-like" stability while allowing for wound inspection and progressive rehabilitation.
FAQ: Molding & Daily Use
How is the brace fitted?
The Exos brace is heated in a specialized clinical oven until pliable and then molded to your arm. This ensures a "Zero-Friction" custom anatomical fit that is unique to your injury.
Can I really get this brace wet?
Yes. The Exos system is fully waterproof. After getting it wet, we recommend a "Zero-Friction" drying process using a hairdryer on a cool setting to ensure the skin remains healthy.
Does this fit either hand?
No. The Exos Long Thumb Spica is anatomically designed for either the Left or Right hand to ensure the BOA® system and stays provide a "Zero-Friction" therapeutic result. Please ensure the correct side is selected.
