3-Point Products Oval-8 Finger Splints, Sizes 6, 7, 8, Pack of 3, Beige

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.

I've worn this for a couple weeks now, after developing trigger thumb while helping to assemble a trampoline for my grandchildren. Since I would be immobilizing the distal joint for several weeks, I first tried a thumb brace that surrounded my hand with fabric and immobilized my thumb using an enclosed metal splint and Velcro straps. The brace worked very well, but quickly became dirty (very noticeable because I wrongly chose a pink color). It was also quite inconvenient. I am retired and spend a lot of time with gardening and backyard chicken keeping. Frequent handwashing is a must. I searched for a thumb stabilizer that could stay on during showering and hand washing. I found this, along with copycat versions. AIthough quite expensive, I chose the made in USA brand after reading many reviews. Here are a couple of good-to-knows I've learned. How you wear the brace depends on your condition. For trigger finger, the large oval is worn behind the joint that needs to be stablized. There is a video on the Amazon page for this product that describes an easy way to measure for the splint. I used that and ordered a set of 3 sizes to accommodate swelling. Unfortunately for me, my thumb size fell on 8. Ordering sizes 7/8/9 would have been optimal; however that choice was not available. I ordered 6/7/8, thinking that as swelling went down I could move to a smaller size. Each splint has a + sign that allows for a "half-size" vs full size, so I thought this would meet my needs. The company is not kidding when they indicate that the micro-swelling can result in an entirely different size. I found that I woke up every morning with a bit of swelling sufficient to cause the size 8 to be uncomfortable. I was relegated to the old cloth brace for a couple hours each morning. Eventually, I broke down and ordered the 9/10/11 splints. Size 9 is what I needed for morning. Size 8 works during the rest of the day. I wear the cloth brace at night for sleeping. When ordering, be careful to allow sizing for even minute swelling, which is likely why the company offers the varied sized packages. The splint does have a tendency to slip around when I work outside. I am careful to always wear a disposable glove on that hand to avoid accidental loss. The splint has fallen off twice while inside the house: once found inside my pocket when I had reached for a tissue and once under the comforter (lost while making the bed). Frantic searches resulted in successful location both times. I'm more careful now, but I did clip the end from an unused silicone toe protector to wear over the splint when I'm actively moving around inside with chores or crafts. This makes it less likely to slip off unnoticed, but still allows for getting my hands wet without removing the splint. The splint is, by its very definition, rigid. One of my sets is the beige color and one set is clear. Both are discreet when in use and I was not bothered that color choice was not an option when ordering from Amazon. If a specific color is important for you, ordering directly from the vendor is possible; however, a minimum is required to reach for free shipping. I did reorder and would definitely recommend this product. It does what it says it will do.

This is what I been looking for and need! I been in so much pain with a trigger finger (ring) on my right hand, and very painful swollen pillows below finger joints and into palm of hand. Last year I managed a trigger finger (middle) on my left hand using tape, stretchable tape, finger braces and gritting my teeth, I spent a lot of money. I finally managed to calm all the every day pain down with finger sleeves. All the rest didn't work at all. The finger braces always slipped off my finger, the compression gloves and finger sleeves aggravated Raynaud's by swollen fingers causing numbness and cold finger tips. Eventually the combination of stretchy taping and finger sleeves has calmed down the constant pain to just the occasional trigger which is very painful. But it wasn't a good solution because both had to be changed many times a day as they got dirty and were a problem especially in the kitchen. But without taping the finger it would snap down every time I used my hand and not come back up on its own, and hurt like the dickens. But eventually, many months, this happened less and less frequently and stopped hurting all the time. But the taping was still needed and I couldn't accept the crapy solution to the trigger finger problem for the rest of my life. Eek! Then 6 weeks ago I got severe pain in my right hand, with the ring finger becoming a trigger finger and a very painful palm, shooting pain. Doctor put me on a high dose of anti-inflammatory, but it didn't do much, except upset my stomach. This drove me back online searching for better solution because what I been doing for a year now just wasn't working for me. This being the right hand presented some additional problems. This made me completely handicapped. Sounds crazy, it's just a trigger finger don't be such a baby, I mean it isn't a broken arm just a darn finger, that's going to totally handicap me? Crazy yea, it's what I been telling myself. But this really hurt even doing nothing with that hand, and I couldn't do the things I loved. Cooking became such a problem, like holding the large knives to cut veggies or meat, keeping the tape clean and sanitary. The finger sleeves and tape got wet, dirty or slipped off into the food, and became contaminated. I tried just about everything, even invented some solutions on my own, but non really solved all the problems and allowed me a normal life. It's a difficult retirement when you can't do things you love anymore, can't cook, garden, knit, play cards, draw or even play computer games, even writing was difficult. I can't believe how much money I spent trying different things, braces and supports, I even bought a full brace for people who had a stroke to wear at night. Some things did help some of the time but all had problems which made life difficult. Then I finally seen these Oval-8 Finger Splints mentioned and well explained on some website, and I could immediately see that if this works then it will solve all the problems I had with the different aids. I'm glad that Amazon carries these at a better price and as prime member no shipping costs. I immediately ordered a set of three which makes sense. Measurements suggested and what you actually need are interpreted differently. So I got one size bigger, one smaller and one what I need, and I still have the trigger finger on the left hand too. I been wearing one on each trigger finger now for two days and nights (am still wearing the full stroke brace at night) and I have my life back, I been cooking without any problems, yea! It's important to know though that these splints are stiff and hard and it will take some time to get used to them, to the pressure from something I am not used to have on my fingers. Yea, it's a bit uncomfortable. Make sure you get the correct size, because if it's too big or too small they will really dig into the finger and the palm ( I'm wearing mine over the middle joint) and hurt. I got the the middle finger correct and this one feels so comfortable I don't even notice I have it on. Now the ring finger splint is a size too big, this will work when my finger is swollen, but not for right now. Not only does it slip off when wet but it does also really dig into the base of the finger, very uncomfortable. So ordered a smaller size as well. It's a bit of a trial and error. Since I have Raynaud's as well, and probably some arthritis, I have to wear gloves most of the time to keep the fingers warm, or it will trigger bad symptoms. I have to keep my fingers warm all the time. I got stretchy knit gloves and also a pair of mittens, both fit loosely over the splints. If they are too snug there will be pressure, swelling, numbness and pain. Taking the swelling into consideration I have two different sizes of splints for each trigger finger. I think this is going to work real well. And if I'm lucky the ring finger trigger will also simmer down and not trigger every time I fold the fingers, just like the middle finger on my left hand, and I may not need the splints all the time. But for now I'm wearing them 24/7. Important, check the size you need, or better buy the three pack with one size larger, one correct and one size smaller, 10/11/12 is what I got. I wish it came in 9/10/11. I highly recommend these splints.

Works okay for the joint, but the shape is problematic in that instead of lying flat-ish against the skin, it's curved inward so that the sharp edge instead of the flat side of the plastic is against the skin. Since it's intended to (and does) keep the joint under slight pressure, that sharp edge against the skin is under pressure, which is painful. Doesn't cut deep enough to draw blood in my case, so it's tolerable but wouldn't be safe to wear overnight. I would absolutely not put this on an elderly patient without close monitoring.

Trigger thumb life saver. Both my thumbs get stuck at the top joint and boy does that hurt. I tried finger splints or sports tape but it gets wet and my hand would itch. So I just thought I would try this. I actually wear it upside down from what the directions say to do. It keeps my thumb straight and doesn’t allow it to bend and get stuck. Plus it’s plastic. I can wash my hands no problem. I measured around the middle part of the thumb using a piece of painters tape and then layed it on the measuring tape to get my size. I had to google the size chart. Perfect fit. At first it was sliding and falling off. But after about a day of using it and pushing it down, it stays on and fits snug and not too tight. I love it. I can do things now without accidentally bending it and being in terrible pain. Update: After Wearing a week it has actually formed to my thumb like it was made for it. If u put a new one on it falls off doesn’t fit but the one I’ve been wearing perfect and stays on all day and night. Don’t even notice it’s there but again it took about a week of wearing it, getting it wet, pushing it back down on the thumb. Thank God.

i didn't even know this product existed. and let me just say, i know as much about the pain of trigger finger as anyone could. currently i have SIX fingers with the ailment and nowhere near the money for surgery. i have been taping splints on the 4 worst fingers for a few years now. without insurance you do what you have to do. I've been wearing 2 of these so far as a test. i feel like this is the first time my fingers might actually heal instead of just mask the issue. I'm a network engineer and i type probably 17 hours per day, 7 days a week. I think anyone with this problem needs to try these, just one thing to remember, order 1 size up from what you think you need. EDIT: Update. after wearing these for 2 weeks. Unbelievably they have all but fixed my trigger finger. I used to tape my knuckles to keep them from bending too far, but these splints are superior in every way. After 15 days of wearing them on the ring finger on both my left and right hand (i have a total of 6 fingers with the problem) it has all but healed. I can bend both fingers 100% now without the splint and they don't feel tight or swollen at all. As for dexterity, I was a little suprised. Now granted, you don't use your ring finger for everything, but you certainly do to type, and that's what I do. All day, every day. It doesn't slow me down qt all. but it surprised me how I would forget it was even on my right hand. The one on the left is a tiny problem because the splint is 1/2 size too big wearing correctly and 1/2 size too small wearing backwards. but I live with it. To give you an idea on dexterity, I can play my Xbox with the controller which requires very good mobility, and I can even shuffle poker chips. I play poker and I have a habit of shuffling 20 chips. two stacks of 10. Paulson, expensive chips. And even with the splint on it doesn't slow me down a bit. it really does surprise me. So after wearing for a bit i thought I should come amend my post, because I'm flat out sold on these things BIG time.

I absolutely LOVE these things! I dislocated my pinkie two weeks ago, and for the first week I used those typical bulky splints that you find at the store. I hated them: they are big, uncomfortable, ugly and worst of all, you can't wet them so everytime I took a shower or washed my hands I had to change the splint, which hurt my pinkie and I'm sure delayed the healing process. The Oval-8 splints, however, which I got over a week ago, only have advantages!! They're's tiny, therefore comfortable (I mostly forget I have it on, and I can wear gloves again!!), discreet (most people won't even notice you have it—unless you have darker skin that is, because it comes in a white-person sort of color, but even though it's still a lot more discreet than the typical splint), and it's 100% plastic, so I can shower with it on, and wash my hands to my heart content, without having to worry about it!, which is so much better for the healing process and also has reduced the pain almost completely. The only inconvenient is that plastic is hard, so the splint gets stuck on my flesh a bit, leaving a mark there. But this is only a minor issue for me, and it doesn't really bother me. I just take it off for 5 minutes every other day "to let it breathe", but otherwise I have it on 24/7. Another advantage of these splints, is that they come in a pack of 3, which means you'll have SIX different sixes (as each splint has two sizes depending on which end you put on first). I am a 33yo, average-sized woman, and I got sizes 2-3-4 for my pinkie. The 4 one is too big, but size 3 is perfect, and I have still two more sizes down if I need them. By the way, my pinkie was super swollen the first week (while I used the typical splints), and the moment I changed to these ones, the inflammation went down significantly in 12 hours. So that says a lot! Buy this. Period.

I just received these and I am already disappointed. I ordered 10, 11, 12 but what I received was 11, 12, 13. They don't even sell that size range and the label for this showed the correct sizing, just the products placed in the bag was wrong. Definitely a QC issue. The 11 does fit as does the 12, though it is a little loose. The 13 is useless for me. If this were winter then the 11 might not fit due to the cold weather shrinking my fingers. It does keep me from bending my finger which is what I need for my trigger finger and it's more comfortable than the metal splint I was using. This also allows me to type on my keyboard. I would have given it 5 stars if I what I ordered and I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'm going to return it. At this price for plastic you would think they would at least get the sizes correct. I've read another review where they got the wrong sizes as well, they received the 11,12, and 13 as well.

456 is the best 3 works with the smallest finger if you have thin fingers. It’s working 👍

These splints have been very effective at treating trigger thumb and finger for both my husband and myself. I have been able to able to avoid cortisone treatments after just two weeks of use. After several physio appointments, and dry needling, the physiotherapist and I agreed to try splinting for my thumb. I am thrilled to say the trigging is gone. My husband is now using the splints for his finger and hopes to have the same results.

As described. But I can’t see how it can help my situation. Same thoughts by my consultant so I just returned the item. I measured and all but still was a size that was too small. Another reason of my return !

To measure the thumb joint, wrapped a 1/2" wide strip of paper around the joint marking the circumference with a pencil. The paper wrap was not very tight. Did this three times then took measurements with a ruler. With an average measurement of 2 12/16" ordered three splint sizes 10, 11 & 12 which cover a range of 2 11/16" - 2 15/16". Checked the fit of each splint both ways. The size 10 splint was too small. The size 11 splint fits but was found to be uncomfortable for long term use. The size 12 splint is the best fit, not too tight, allowing some movement but preventing the joint from clicking. I have no problem wearing the size 12 splint at night to prevent previous occurrences of the thumb joint locking in a bent position. Based on my experience care should be taken not to order a splint that will be too tight. The package of three sizes provides the best chance of getting a good fit.

Buenos días! Desde que lo pedí me di cuenta que no había medidas específicas así que pensé que vendrían 3 diferentes tamaño adulto pero me llegaron 3 para niños supongo, muy pequeños, así que no me sirvió.
