Oval-8 Multi-Size Pack of 3 Sizes 2,3,4

I bought a multi-pack of 3 sizes for my thumb. The measured size was the smallest but all will work. It immobilizes my thumb and with an anti inflammatory is giving it time to heal. Easy on and off when needed although getting it wet doesn’t affect anything. It seemed a bit expensive but is well worth it. I’m glad I got it for my trigger thumb. I wish I had known about it when I had trouble with a finger years ago

The price seems so high for little pieces of plastic, but they are worth every penny. I developed trigger thumb in both hands 3 months ago and used full splints, KT tape, wraps, and several topical anti-inflammatory creams, all with very little improvement. Ordered these Monday and they were at my doorstep Tuesday morning. My thumbs were swollen so at first I thought sizes 7 and 8 were a bit too small (my right thumb has an old joint injury so the knuckle is a bit thicker than the left), so I wore them turned to the side a bit and ordered a size 9... which I will be returning since the pain relief was so immediate that the swelling was gone by end of day, and I was able to turn them around to fit as intended. These completely immobilize the joint while allowing me to use my hands as I normally would. I love I can wash my hands, wash dishes etc. The only reason I gave them 4 stars for comfort is that the bottom edge on the size 8 hits right at the base of my thumb where the tendon still gets a bit sore and swollen by the end of the day. This is easily addressed with a little piece of KT tape wrapped around the edge of the splint. SIZE HELP: I am a woman with medium sized hands, thin but with thicker knuckles, and sizes 7 and 8 fit perfectly. Keep in mind the bigger sizes are not just wider at the joint but also longer - which is why the bigger size hits the base of my thumb. Still they work great - I would have saved myself so much money and pain had I found these sooner. Highly recommended!

I measured 2-3/4" around my thumb knuckle but so far, the 'larger' end of size 13 is the best fit. That said, this is very effective - my trigger thumb is fully supported with zero chance of bending/locking. I wish the hand surgeon that is about to take my money had told me about these 6 weeks ago. Also, these are higher quality than the photos show.Until now, I've been using a velcro brace which gets the job done but is awkward to wear and gets stuck on everything.

Product good, Amazon sucks.

Like the actual product, but tried twice to get a set of sizes 6,7,8. Both times received open packages with 2-size 6 and one other. First was 6,6,7, and 7 seemed a little small, wanted 8, though 7 might have been ok. Replacement was 6,6,8 with obviously opened and taped up package. Returning for refund. Will try going straight the manufacturer

Just what was needed for my mallet finger! I measured per the recommendations and decided that one of these, 6/7/8 set would likely fit my injured finger. Sure enough, size seven was just right. It immobilized the DIP and still allowed me to move the middle joint, mostly. The mostly is where it gets interesting.While the movement allowed at the middle joint was enough, I have short fingers and play the guitar finger style and I did not want to irritate the skin that close to the middle joint. (YES! I can still finger pick while wearing this splint, a huge advantage over a stax, let alone a full finger splint which immobilizes the full finger.) It turns out there is a fix(instructions) to deal with my short fingers too!By reading the instructions on the their site, it is clear these splints are adjustable and though it is recommended this be left to a professional, instructions are provided and it is really quite straight forward as long as you have a suitable heat gun (which I do). The instructions are quite explicit and there was a specific recommendation for my case, short finger: Find the size that fits, then select one size smaller and adjust it to the right height and width. I took the size 6, also included in the set and carefully adjusted per the instruction and BINGO, perfect fit with plenty of clearance to provide no restriction at all to the middle joint while still keeping tip joint (DIP) fully immobilized and slightly hyperextended which is the recommended treatment for a mallet finger.To be clear, this is great but not magic. For a mallet finger you need to wear the splint for a long time, 3-4 weeks if the bone broke, or 6-8 weeks if just the tendon was injured as it was in my case. (Orthopedists indicate it takes 12 weeks for a tendon to heal, twice as long a bone fracture!) 8 weeks is a long time and wearing a splint that long is not the most comfortable thing. Even though this is better than most. It takes a while to get used to it. For me it took about a week and a half. It never gets completely comfortable, but it is certainly unobtrusive visually and a lot more comfortable than any other option I tried or have used in the past for other finger injuries.Where it gets most irritating is over the joint where the ring sits. The company recommends a small gel pad to prevent irritation, but what I found works even better is Dr. Scholl Moleskin! It is very soft, and available in different thicknesses. If you are a hiker or climber you may be familiar with this product as it is typically used to created a pad on a part of the foot the might be irritated by a rubbing shoe or boot. I used the thinnest version and cut a small strip to go over the joint under the ring on the splint. With this in place much of the time I hardly noticed I was wearing the splint and there was no irritation at all.The other big plus is it (the Oval 8 splint) is easy to keep clean, unlike other splints. It is also completely open so the finger gets plenty of air. Most other splint types enclose the finger, must be kept completely dry, and somehow still must be cleaned regularly to prevent your finger from smelling like a dirty foot.I hope some find this review useful or even helpful. I strongly recommend this splint for any of the various (and there are several) injuries it is intended to help.About the only thing it wouldn't be good for is where there is serious damage, crushing or laceration, to the tip of the finger which therefore needs to be protected from bumping; i.e., something better protected by a hard finger cot. full splint, or other hard fingertip protection device.
