Gel Tubes

I wear Oval-8's on 8 fingers... in cooler weather, they sometimes slip or turn. But if I cover them with a gel tube, they stay comfortably in place. Also the tubes help with turning pages of music and books, an added benefit.

I am using these gel tubes on my arthritic fingers and thumbs. They have definitely reduced the pain and swelling of the afflicted joints, I'm very pleased.

I am so helped by gel tubes and also the oval-8 knuckle braces. At other times I have needed larger supports for healing. And I have friends who need braces. I cannot recommend the products and service more highly. Really EXCELLENT.

OMA:  Thank you so much for your review. We are always happy to hear that we have provided helpful products and a great shopping experience. 

I have sore toes that make walking painful. These sleeves help cushion them and makes walking easier. Company sent it out quickly and nicely packages

Help with the rubbing of splints Makes it more comfortable wearing under splints on fingers

I wear it on my pinky when it becomes stiff and painful. The warmth and compression is just enough that I can continue with daily activities. My son is using one in conjunction with icing and massage to reduce a calcium buildup from a skateboarding accident. He says it’s more comfortable than the one the occupational therapist gave him so he’s actually doing the treatment and exercises.

These gel tubes are very stretchable, fit easily and are super comforting and soothing! They will not straighten a crooked toe from R.A., but instead of wearing buddy-wrapping toe loops at night, I use a gel tube. Stops the uncomfortable feeling of 2nd toe rubbing slightly underneath big toe.

My mom used to use medical tape for her arthritic fingers, she loves these, more comfortable too

These should be good for protecting cuts and sores on the fingers and toes from other fingers and toes. But they do nothing for hammertoes because they aren’t strong enough to straighten the toe.

OMA:  Thank you for your feedback.  We are always happy to hear from our customers.  Yes, the Gel Tubes are not designed to straighten hammertoes, only to protect the top of the toe and the corns and calluses that may appear due to having a hammertoe.

Kind of on the expensive side. But they really do feel good on my toes.

I've been using the Oval 8 finger splints, but a couple of the joints started swelling and the splints rubbing against them was just too painful. Putting these gel tubes under the splint is amazing! Even using them alone, without the splint, still provides protection and a little support. (If you are going to combine the tubes with the splints, size up 2-3 sizes in the splints.)

These tubes really help my toes after wearing too tight of shoes.

This is my 2nd order of these tubes. They have been invaluable in treating my Rheumatoid Arthritis. My hands are most compromised and my finger edema fluctuates constantly. I use these gel tubes with your Oval 8 finger splints and they make a world of difference!! Using this combination, gel tubes with finger splints, is preventing deformity of my fingers/hands. Try them and I'm positive you'll love them, too!!

Love these! They work great for my fingers and toes!

I love, love, LOVE these gel tubes! They work great for your fingers or toes, I just re-ordered more!

My RA plays havoc with my fingers and thumbs. These gel sleeves have been worn under my OVAL 8 finger splints for cushioning and comfort. Due to my greatly variable level of edema in my fingers, I haven't been able to get "the perfect fit" but I am optimistic that they will ultimately be effective. I'll continue to work with them and let you know how it goes. They ARE soothing to my skin when worn without the splints so I remain very positive about success!

I have arthritis as well as a condition called Heberdens nodes which cause swelling and inflammation at the end joints of my fingers that are sometimes painful to the touch. The gel tubes keep the inflammation down and cushion the red and painful skin.

I had a blister on my big toe and couldnt wear the pair of open toed heels that I had planned to wear for a wedding reception.  A friend suggested the gel tube.  I put the gel tube over the blister and was able to wear my shoes all night without a problem.  It provided a comfortable cushion to protect my toe from my shoe & it was clear in color so you couldnt see it.  It was the perfect solution!

Too thin and did not do the job. Wanted omit to cushion and help straighten a hammer toe that I dislocated. Did not work

Easily trimmed to appropriate length for toe. I found it uncomfortable the first time I wore it but after that first time I don't notice it, and it keeps the swelling down on toe that had been broken and swells.

The products are great. I use the gel tube under my  Oval 8 finger splint every night on my index finger. I think it helps to keep it straight.

I have arthritis in my fingers and the gel tubes are great for adding support and for reducing inflamation. I like them because I can leave them on when I am doing dishes
