3-Point Products Oval-8 Finger Splint Size 7 (1 Splint)

I would give this TEN stars! I have arthritis in my thumb from crocheting. This is a lightweight, heavy duty plastic that I am able to wear comfortably and does not affect my crocheting, while still staying securely in place. My PT recommended it, and I told her it's my "bionic thumb". Honestly the difference is like night and day! I am completely satisfied, and the seller is FANTASTIC, plus it was delivered to me a week earlier than expected! :)

This is an excellent product to alleviate pain from trigger finger. I wear this product every night to prevent my fingers from flexing and causing extreme pain. This definitely has been a game-changer for me. I've purchased three packages, so I have one available to me at all times. They appear to be very durable, yet flexible and strong enough to keep my finger from bending.

Great for freeing up my finger to type. Two issues: it didn’t quite make my finger straight enough to correct mallet finger and it actually began cutting off circulation and my finger started swelling. Had to continually remove it, and finally had to go back to my old splint overnight with a little diy padding to cause the finger to be bent a little back at the tip. Lot of trial and error. Then my finger was locked from bending no less than a 90 degree angle, but over time with movement, alternating hot water and cold water while moving it, and the use is about 95% bendable. This splint is a good idea and probably works well for various issues, but for mallet finger you will need it to bend the tip back a little more. I would recommend it as an option for some conditions. Also, for the record it is taking about 5-6 months for full healing of mallet finger, and now it bends not only straight, but I can hyper extend it like before the injury. Long healing though, especially while moving, lifting, packing boxes.

This finger splint works so well! I’m taking the time to review as I saw a review where the buyer was wearing the splint backwards, so of course that doesn’t work. Wear it properly and it will prevent your finger from bending. I purposely bought from this company and paid more as it’s made in the USA! Buy the other ones and you get 5 or 6, but notice they are all different sizes. It’s important to measure your finger at the knuckle to get the right size for you. I will say the packaging is a little misleading as there are TWO in the picture but you only get one. I think the seller should consider putting two in the package, considering both the package picture as well as the price.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! I used the sizing guide to determine the size I ordered. The product was way too large. In order to return it I am being charged $4.54 postage which was not apparent on the product description. Seller was contacted and said that was an Amazon policy and could not do anything about it. Amazon says it is the seller’s policy. Just don’t buy it.

Oh, these are very good. They fit well, they hold the finger as straight as needed for pretty much whatever ails you. They are not as obtrusive as many of the other types. But they have a problem with falling off. Looking at it, I can see that there isn't any place to put something to hold it on; the design is very simple, and any sort of fastening would complicate things. The odd thing about their falling off, at least for me, is that they Are Never Heard From Again. There must be seven or eight of the things lurking somewhere in the obscure recesses of my house. I am tempted to blame the washing machine; I know for sure that it steals handkerchiefs. In any case, you have to use a piece of tape if you have any hope of keeping them. I'm looking for tape that is good for the purpose. I've been using Micropore surgical tape, which has a lot of good uses; this is not one of them, because it leaves a gummy residue. The only Band-Aids that stay on wet or dry are the fabric ones, and within an hour or so, you have ratty raveled edges there. I'm thinking about those Velcro ties I use to group my computer wires. Ah, well, my problem. Anyway, the splint is worth five stars. The constant falling off is the reason for the down-tick.

Helped immensely with my trigger finger. Had surgery on another finger and didn't want to go through that again. This guard helped my tendon rest and I avoided another surgery.

I have mallet finger, which is a jammed finger. It was caused by too much bending over a period of time of the first joint from the tip of my middle right finger. I managed to do it a little at a time (by knitting, if you can believe that) rather than getting hit hard on the end of my finger and getting it all at once. Don't keep doing something if it hurts! It tore the ligament between the first two joints on that finger on the top of my finger (the part that's outside when you make a fist). This splint can be worn for a lot of different problems in a lot of different positions. If yours doesn't come with a paper diagramming how to wear it for different problems, check on the internet. My comments are about mallet finger, but might also apply generally. My splint is very tight on my finger, but even so, I've found some situations where I'm doing something that catches in the splint, and it gets pulled off. I've usually solved this by putting a bit of medical adhesive tape over the single center spot of it. The splint is small, and hard to see, so if you take one off for any reason, it's hard to find. I lost one that way, and ordered another to replace it, but was lucky enough to find the original before the replacement even arrived). I've since lost the original one while I was trying to pull something out of a package. I pulled, and the stuff came out and yanked the splint off my finger along with the package. I haven't found it this time, but still might. My advice, if you have to wear it for a long time is to get an extra or two. It seems to take about 6 weeks for a ligament to heal, so I'm still going to be wearing one for a while. Plus, I keep trying to do things, and making it worse in spite of the splint, although the splint makes it hard to hurt it. The splint that I bought for at night arrived today, and they come in sets of three, so you can rotate splints. Having several splints seems like a good idea. It seems like it's going to be a good one to use at night to sleep in, but I've only had it for a few hours. It's an Auerbach Mallet Splint, and Amazon has them. But I like the plastic splint for during the day. You can do more with it without further injuring you finger, and it's waterproof. The aluminum with foam one I bought at the drugstore is good for sleeping in, except that it tends to slide off if I move in my sleep. The Auerbach splint doesn't seem like it could be pulled off easily. It's tight enough that I want to take it off at night because it's hard and the center section presses hard against that joint and makes it hurt if I wear it for an extended period of time. I've been using a more conventional splint to sleep in, but that wants to slide off. I just got a different splint to wear at night, but I'm going to continue to wear this during the day. It's convenient that you can wash your hands, and get it wet without hurting it. I can even still knit with it on, but am trying not to knit much. Anyway, this is an excellent splint for mallet finger, and it allows you to use the finger and do things, for the most part.
