Will this hold on a hand while playing basketball? I have a sprained thumb and every other bandage I've tried tends to unravel from dribbling.

it holds pretty good. I was really happy with it. I got bunions surgery on both feet and used these bandages for 3 months.

The bandage is "coadhesive" meaning that it sticks to itself but not really to you. As long as the bandage stays reasonably clean, it does pretty well. If you use it for basketball, make sure that you tuck the loose end under so that it isn't pulled away in play. Don't expect to take it off and reuse it. Once it gets anything on it, it won't re-stick well enough for this kind of activity. Be careful when you wrap it as it is easy to get it too tight. It is a delicate balance between tight enough to handle the play but loose enough that you don't lose some circulation.

I can't say for sure, bought it for our first aid locker at work and haven't used it yet, but it says it should stick. Sorry I can't be more definate.

it has the consistency and texture of a thick bandaid. So Yes, provided it's not a hard crease, you should be able to fold it or slightly roll it. I would recommend, if you're needing storage space, fold or roll it over a thick bandage to prevent hard creases.

I purchased this for my 2 daughters because they would twist their wrist when releasing the ball (it can lead to medical trouble for your are and elbow area doing so). Once they started using this brace, it was a wodnerful difference in how they release the ball (no more turning the wrist). Hopefully this helps.

Its not a high bounce like a super ball. If you bounce it hard enough, it will return to your hand.

I think it has helped me with my hand cramping. There is a holder for your index finder so it doesnt have to constantly rest on the L&R; top buttons. The grip is big and comfortable, but not hard. More like those therapy balls you can squeeze. In my opinion I think its better than no grip and any current grip out there.

There are three (3) adjustments. One is for the thumb. You will be able to set how tightly that you wish the wrap to be. I have found that this is much less binding than other braces. There are two stays alongside the thumb that provide moderate support, but do not bind as I have experienced. I use mine while I am working on the computer. I have had no circulation problem whatsoever.

Yes, and it is very elastic. It keeps your bandage in place much better than an Ace Bandage.

I agree with previous responders, this is very adjustable. It should fit just about any adult hand (even very petite)............with the possible exception of ginormous hands of say.... a professional basketball player like Yao Ming. :)

I use mine for racquetball after a torn rotator cuff. I like it. It seems to give the needed support.

Might--it's pretty sticky. I was using it to pad and adjust a splint for my healing broken arm, and it has stayed on well. Good luck!

I just tried to put on my brace without using my thumb on the other hand. I had no problem. I believe this will work for you.

I think the Slime would "work" if the leak is small. The slime never gets completely hard, so it could affect the way the ball bounces or perhaps cause a slight shift in the center of gravity so it might "wobble." If you are quite serious about such things, you may want to consider a new basketball...

Hola Dalia,I have used the Mueller Sports Medicine Reversible Thumb Stabilizer, Black, Measure Around Wrist- Fits 5.5 - 10.5 Inches and found that I can still use the computer. It immobilizes your thumb and it has helped relieve the pain I felt in my wrist. I have small hands as well. I recommend that you try it.

Yes, the product is hard enough to dribble basketball on. Pretty sturdy and easy to maintain. I recommend it.

I don't see why not. I play tennis with the brace and forget I am even wearing it (although it does get pretty warm in the summer). I also do a lot of running around on the tennis court with a lot of pretty fast starts and stops - I believe at least as much most anyone does on a basketball court. So, yes in my opinion no problem with the brace and a basketball court.

It goes to my wrist. I have a large hand and theMueller Sport support wrist does not go to or cover my wrist. However it does keep my thumb immobile. Which is a good thing. If you need a wrist. This is not the one you need.

It would work for a bandaged leg. The seal works great. Just pull it up to your thigh and then push the ring back down slightly to create the seal needed.
