Hands that work all day
Opening a jar, turning a key, typing, shaking hands… Our hands work all day, and many people feel them tired or stiff in the morning or at the end of the day.
Also for the knee and the base of the thumb
Hands are not the only joints that work all day. Quantic has taken the same idea of warmth and micro-pulses to two other hard-working areas.
Knee
K0 knee wrap: a break for your knees
Climbing stairs, long walks, kneeling or sport can leave the knee tired and overloaded. The K0 fits around the knee and combines controlled heat, LED light (880 nm infrared plus 660, 630 and 520 nm) and joint micro-pulses, for a feeling of relief and relaxation while you rest on the sofa.
Sessions of 20 to 30 minutes, once or twice a day. Touch panel with session time and a rechargeable battery, no cables.
Thumb base
R0 thumb unit: comfort for your hardest-working finger
The thumb is in almost everything: pinching, opening jars, turning keys, typing on your phone. Its base is often the first part of the hand to feel stiff or overloaded. The R0 wraps the base of the thumb and applies heat, light and joint micro-pulses in a small, light format, for a moment of relief and relaxation.
Sessions of about 20 minutes. Strap it on in seconds and run it with one button.
Like the Q1 gloves, these are wellness devices for comfort and relaxation; they do not replace medical advice or any treatment.
How it works: four sensations, one session at the push of a button
Controlled dry heat
Sensors watch the temperature for steady, pleasant warmth in the fingers.
Mechanical micro-stimulation
Small mechanical impulses gently move the fingers, giving a feeling of light stretching.
Joint micro-pulses
Gentle, low-intensity micro-pulses over the joints, massage-like, that help the area relax.
LED light (K0 knee wrap, R0 thumb unit)
The K0 has 210 LEDs (880 nm infrared plus 660, 630 and 520 nm).

What has been studied?
Studies and published papers
1 · Clinical guidelines and systematic reviews: local heat
The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guideline, updated in September 2026, conditionally recommends local heat or cold for hand, knee and hip osteoarthritis, paraffin baths for the hands and, also conditionally, arthritis gloves for hand osteoarthritis (with "very low" certainty of evidence; the summary does not say which type of glove). The European EULAR guidance (2018) puts education, exercise and splints first. A review of 9 controlled trials (627 people, 2026) found that heat on the hands may help with short-term discomfort and grip strength; combined approaches did better than heat alone.
2 · Reviews and controlled trials: light and vibration
For the knee, a 2019 review of 22 trials found benefits from low-level laser (not LED) at specific doses. For the hand, a laser trial showed no difference from placebo. There are very few studies on local vibration for the hands.
3 · Pilot studies with Quantic gloves
Rheumatologists in Madrid followed people with finger osteoarthritis who used the gloves for 15 minutes twice a day for 60 days. In the first 30 participants of the study by Dr José Félix Solano Fernández and his team, given as an oral presentation at the 26th Madrid Society of Rheumatology congress (SORCOM, 2022) and published in the journal Anales de Reumatología, self-reported pain and morning stiffness were lower at the end; follow-up extended to 42 people (2023 abstract) pointed the same way. In a group of 40, in the work of Dr José de la Mata Llord and his team at the Instituto de Salud Osteoarticular ARI (Madrid), published at the 50th Spanish Society of Rheumatology congress (2024), self-reported pain also fell; hand function and grip improved slightly but not significantly. No side effects were reported.
Limits: small groups, no comparison group, company-funded, and published only as congress abstracts. The authors themselves call for better studies.
4 · At a patient congress
At the 8th OAFI Osteoarthritis Patients World Congress (Auditorio AXA, Barcelona, 23–25 October 2024), rheumatologist Dr Ingrid Möller, director of the Instituto Poal de Reumatología, gave a talk titled "Hand osteoarthritis: therapeutic gloves" presenting the Quantic gloves. It was an educational talk for patients, not a scientific study.
Bottom line: Quantic gloves are a comfortable way to enjoy warmth and gentle massage at home. Many people find warmth on the hands pleasant and there is science supporting it in the short term, but studies with this device are still preliminary. So we promise no results: try it with the 30-day guarantee and decide for yourself.

Use it wisely
Quantic devices are wellness devices. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease and do not replace medical advice. Read the instruction manual first, and ask your doctor before use if you have a pacemaker or other electronic implant, are pregnant, have wounds or skin conditions, reduced sensitivity to heat or micro-pulses (e.g. diabetes), circulation problems, take anticoagulants, or are allergic to plastic, leather or metal. Do not sleep in the gloves, do not use them while charging, keep them dry, and do not look straight into the LEDs.
