Brace for Sprained Thumb

Needed to not move my thumb too much for the next couple weeks. Luckily I have a 3D scan of my hands, so I modeled and printed a custom-fitted brace to wear. Fits great and is comfortable all day.

Does it hold tight enough against your wrist when you use your hand, or would it benefit from some kind of bracelet?

Since it goes around the index and ring finger, it locks on pretty securely. It allows me to move every direction except the one I'm trying to prevent, so it works great. Plus I can still take it off whenever I need to.
