Oval-8® Finger Splints

Works very well and built to last

I got this for my thumb that started snapping at the joint. Seems to be good at keeping it in place; however still not sure I’m wearing it right. Instructions are different on the website and the included instructions?? Ordered some sleeves to try on toes.

as soon as I put it on my finger the pain was gone and I've had it for years. could not believe how well it works can use my finger like normal now. told everyone at the ladies lucheon about it

OMA:  We are delighted to hear that the Oval-8 has helped to relieve your pain!

Works well in straightening trigger finger so that there is less pain from trigger finger cramping

These are perfect-This is my second order just in case i lose one--They are perfect!

I was recommended by my orthopedist to try the Oval-8 splints to possibly non-surgically correct a recent tendon injury. It is helping already and it has only been on a short time. These are easy to keep hands clean with, I am a nurse and wash my hands constantly. The materials used make it easy to keep good hand washing habits.

Momentum Physical Therapy was selected to help with my arthritic hands. I also was having a very aggravating trigger finger and a calcium particles near the large joint of another finger. My Occupational Therapist recommended the Oval 8 splints. These jewels have helped me to quicken on the road to recovery. When you are unable to use your hands and the aches and pains drive you crazy; the Oval 8 splints came to the Rescue.

Last summer I got a mrsa infection in the distal joint of my index finger. After surgery and months of IV antibiotics, I was left with a mallet finger. I go to occupational therapy and have had a dozen different splints to heal my flexor tendon but they slip, allow “dippage”, get wet, have to be changed etc. This splint holds it's position perfectly and doesn’t come off in the shower or while washing dishes. And I’m stoked that there’s no Velcro straps or rolls of bandages required because they get dirty, lose their grip and get expensive after awhile. I’ve been wearing clunky splints for months which often invites people to ask what happened (very sweet, but it’s an off putting story that I’ve had to tell a billion times)This splint leaves my finger visible and healthy looking. Not a scary mrsa, raging infectious, zombie looking finger as some might have imagined I was hiding under my other splints and bandages. I’m submitting this review in case there is someone in a similar situation and are discouraged because they haven’t found their solution yet. This splint can also be worn comfortably for an uninterrupted, extended period of time which is necessary for the tendon to heal. It’s been a long journey so I’m freakin grateful I found this product.

OMA:  Thank you for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that the Oval-8 Finger Splints have helped to contribute to a positive experience in your healing journey!

This works like a charm! I needed it for trigger finger to wear at night while sleeping and it has helped my issue tremendously! Not bulky at all so very comfortable

Although I'm not practicing now, I used to be a hand occupational therapist. I learned how great these splints work. Now aging, my first sign of joint shifting means these little splints go on my fingers to support them through changes. They are light weight, visually acceptable, and worth a lot!

I play the ukulele and this splint has enabled me make barre chords without pain. I'm so glad that my physical therapist recommended this.

I like the support and the low profile of this splint. SIze chart worked well Thank you!

This is my second order for finger splints. I tend to lose them, have ordered a smaller size due to it's stretching (also lost weight). I cannot manage w/o the splint even though it is my left hand and I am left handed - it all works !

I'm suffering from trigger thumb and this splint is just perfect. It solved all of the multitude of problems I had with the neoprene wrap-around splint that I tried first. In complete contrast, the Oval 8 works brilliantly to keep my thumb perfectly immobilized and concisely targets the problem in a highly effective way. I love that I'm able to perform normal activities, including washing my hands, without removing it. I don't even think about it being there. The neoprene brace style splint for trigger thumb that I used prior to the Oval 8 did a terrible job of keeping my thumb immobilized, it needed constant readjustment, the velcro kept catching on things, and I had to take it off while in the rain or whenever I needed to do anything involving water. I kept it off more than I should have because it was pretty inconvenient and did a very poor job of addressing the problem. Plus it was sweaty. The Oval 8 is a truly dramatic contrast and I'm thrilled with it.

OMA: Thank you for your feedback.  We are delighted to hear that the Oval-8 Finger Splint has been a good solution for treating your trigger thumb!

Please read as many reviews as you can. All the stories seem to be true. The splint is great and my finger feels like it is normal again. A splint has already fallen off while I was carrying something but it is still worth it. The benefits are so much more than the inconvenience of losing it. So you can buy another one.....I did. It tends to slip off when your hands are in water. So just take it off during that time. It is the best invention ever!!!

The splints are great! I wear them 24 hrs, although they are fairly easy to lose when grabbing objects or even washing your hands. They'll get caught on something suddenly they're missing. Very comfortable to wear.

rcvd 3 wks ago & nothing like them for treger finger

They didn't remind that the finger ring size needs to be adjusted smaller to fit the end of the finger. Who knows the end of their finger ring size? When I did put it on, it didn't feel like it was supporting or straightening that area were it fit. Should have a print out of ring size holes where one can cut out the hole so one can place one's finger into the cutout to find out size needed.

OMA: We are sorry to hear your buying experience did not meet your expectations. The Oval-8's are similar to ring sizes but are not a direct match, as they are not worn the same way a ring is. The Oval-8 Finger Splint Guide (found on the"details tab" on the product page) has everything you need to know about how to choose and fit these finger splints. Please contact our customer service team at 1-888-378-7763 or [email protected] We would appreciate the opportunity to make this right and provide you with a resolution that meets your expectations and needs.

I love these easy finger splints. I started with my ring size for my first purchase. My next order was one size larger due to swelling. I was wearing this 24/7. After loosing a couple that caught on shopping bags, I now wear them while at home. The finger with the splint was noticeably getting crooked. Happy and thankful to say the crooked finger is not getting worse, maybe a tiny bit straighter!!!! Thank-You

Great splints! I wrap coban on top to secure it!

Sorry I forgot to write that I'm a Occupational Therapist. Coban might be hard to find for folks so the elastic tape stretch material in stores where ace bandages are found work well too. I use the 3 inch wide rolls and trim it to fit the length of the splint on the finger. The rolls come in various colors for fun as well. Good luck.

I suffered with "trigger thumb", very painful when my joint would get hooked up. I truly didn't want to have surgery, I faithfully wore this splint for 6 months. I loved that it wasn't a noticeable brace. It protected my thumb and kept it safe from getting out of joint. I lost it a few times and made everyone in the house look for it!!! My left "trigger thumb" is cured, I'm now dealing with the same issue with my right thumb! I recommend this item but you have to be patient, you can mend those tendons with this splint.

OMA: Thanks for the review Nat. So happy to hear the Oval-8's helped treat your trigger thumb! Yes, we agree healing doesn't always happen overnight. It can take a little time and patience. Glad your left thumb is now pain free!

I need to immobilize my thumb for 6 weeks in order to try to diminish my "trigger thumb." I was using a wrap-around splint but, boy, talk about uncomfortable! This little gizmo does the trick; my thumb is remaining in just the position the occupational therapist recommended. And, I am still able to use the majority of my hand easily, & massage the base of my thumb. Great thing!

my IP thumb joint is completely not working and I can't pinch or zip or snap is it in any capacity. It's so painful and if I bang it it triggers down and has to be manually picked up. I ordered the one with all three sizes and the size 9 works for me. It's snug but not cutting me off, fits like a ring and I do hair all day long and right now it's saving my career.

using after a torn tendon in my ring finger. comfortable and not bulky

It's a good product. Best I have found. Expensive for those with a progressive problem needing differing sizes. Service is very good. I'd rather pay a bit more than be billed so much for postage hen the marginal cost is so small.

OMA: Thank you for your feedback! We suggest choosing an Oval-8 Graduated Set of 3 consecutive sizes. This will  give you the extra splints needed for swelling and other changes in your finger size.

Oval eight splints give extra support to my arthritic fingers when I carve or knit. I wear them every day to protect my joints from the activities of daily living (house work). There is less pain at night because of this - thank you for this fine product.

My first experience with splints for trigger finger. They are very comfortable to wear, but so far after 2 weeks I've not noticed any improvement in my trigger symptoms, which isn't any fault of the splint. But the symptoms haven't gotten worse, which is probably credited to wearing the splint.

I have worn silver splints for years, but as a pianist, hated that they clicked on the keys. Oval 8s give the same support without noise: I even wear them to perform!

I have tried different splints, including the silver ones and nothing offered the support that these offer. I am an OT with IP deviation in the thumb and these work!

I like this splint because it keeps my thumb stable as I go about my day without too much interference. No problem getting it wet. Keeping it stable will help it heal since it protects from strain.

First time I had trigger finger I got a cortisone shot. When it happened a couple of years later I tried the finger splint for a month or two, and it was gone

Love the oval 8 finger splints. They are a great lifesaver for me. Comfortable to wear 24/7. I do have to use waterproof tape to keep on but that's okay. I can go for about 1 week before the tape needs to be changed. Thank you very much

I ordered this product for my trigger thumb and I love it...I bought 2 in case I lose one.....I sew a lot and this really has helped Arrived so fast..thanks

This product was recommended by my OT who said that it may help to keep my finger from turning in. So far, I have used it about a week. The only thing I was not happy with was the amount it cost for shipping, especially since it came in an envelope.

My current order was for 3 #10 finger splints. 3 because I tend to lose them and because I fear having the pain if I do not have one on. Since wearing the splint, Ihave not suffered once. I am left handed and still can write with the splint on and it does not keep me from doing my normal housework or activities

I've developed a trigger thumb and purchased a thick glove like thing with velcro to brace it but it was so cumbersome. Then I spotted this. It's exactly what I needed. I hardly notice I'm wearing it and never worry about getting it wet. It does just what I wanted and NOTHING MORE, it braces your joint. No long velcro tapes, no bulky glove, just an effective brace.

As sad as the pricing goes for Swan Neck deformities per Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.... $40 for 5 is a bit steep. I bought the graduated set on Amazon, and it didn't specify how many were inside. I kind of figured for little plastic pieces, that the set consisted of a decent amount of all 3 sizes!!! Not literally 3 splints!!! I am baffeled to say the least. I really can't understand why companies find it okay to price inflate because they usually have no competition, whatsoever, because Ehlers-Danlos and related conditions are rare. I am really upset, and I am currently scrambeling to learn 3D art myself so I can make my own splints. Because well, $500 out of pocket for Silver Ring Splints is out of the question... And sorry, sadly now so is $25 for 3 freaking splints on Amazon. When my fingers are 4 different sizes between both hands, only for bug joints! I can get Tupperware cheaper than that.

OMA: We are sorry to hear your buying experience on Amazon did not meet your expectations. The satisfaction of Oh My Arthritis customers is very important to us. We have several Oval-8 purchasing options that may be more economical for you, including our Oval-8 Sizing Set.

I’ve been wearing these splints for years. I love them. I wear three of them on one hand for overextension problems due to RA and they enable me to use those fingers. I also lose them a lot! Mostly when I haven’t changed the size to accommodate colder weather. Make a gesture and there goes a splint across the room. Or lawn. Or street. I finally got around to ordering replacements late one morning recently. Figured I’d have it next week. It was in my mailbox the next morning! I love these people!

Snapping of tendon in thumb for weeks. Painful trigger thumb when doing any activity. This splint enables me to do things without pain. It’s exceljent to help heal the nodule in the tendon sheath.

Timely shipment. I've used the Oval 8 for years for trigger finger. Basically it acts like a splint to relax the tendons. Oval 8 is generally not noticed. After a few weeks the tendons relax and I'm back to my usual movements without the joint's locking. I't been a few years, had total relief until this miserable cold wet season this year. Expect to get past all that with the help of Oval 8. ohmyarthritis.com did a great job!

I've been using an Oval 8 thumb splint for about a week and have felt welcome relief. I wear it at night and have avoided the painful locked joint upon awakening that usually takes a few hours to loosen up.

Fit and effect are exzcellent.

these were suggested by my physical therapist. I received the wrong item, and the company was quick to correct the mistake.

To correct a "mallet finger", I'm able to comfortably wear my finger splint with virtually no discomfort or loss of normal mobility. It's great.

Wearing the wrist/thumb guard was uncomfortable and bulky. My oval-8 is great! Compact and frees the rest of my hand to do what I need to do. Was recommended by a co-worker-glad I listened! Great product and I like all the available info/vidoes on the website!

After wearing silver ring splints for years and using tape when the silver was not appropriate, now I have the lower cost option of nearly invisible oval-8s! I can wear them while playing piano, too!

Customer service has been very prompt! So far I have had no improvement in my finger, although I have only been using product for a couple of weeks

After I found my size, it arrived broken, and your customer service was terrific. It was replaced immediately and arrived promptly. I am very happy with it, and hopefully it will cure my trigger finger!!

I think this product is the best out there. Most splints completely hinder any kind of use of finger and make your issue noticeable to everyone. Oval 8 is the innovative fix! My only trouble was sizing and that I was unable to locate a distributor other than online. But rest assured online I did!

I use the Oval-8 finger splint to keep my painful "trigger finger" from clamping tight while I sleep (and having to "crack" it back straight). The splint works quite well. The best part of buying from "OhMyArthritis" is the helpful, friendly staff that have taken my calls over the years when I need to re-order.

I've been wearing the splint on my thumb for only 4 days and I'm happy with the comfort and it keeps my thumb from bending to the point of that painful locking up. Much nicer to use than retaping it daily and more effective. I hope wearing it for a few weeks will clear up the problem. GW. 65

I love your size 12 finger splint for my trigger finger except it's too comfortable.  It lasted only 2 days before it slipped off unnoticed while I was grocery shopping.  I'll be immediately be buying a new one.  Good product.

This was my second time to order. The splints make such a difference. I've been dealing with my little finger for nearly a year now and I'm so thankful I found this company. Orders have come very quickly each time too!

I absolutely LOVE these splints. They are preventing deformity of my hands, both of which are compromised by Rheumatoid Arthritis. I use the splints along with the gel tubes (also sold on this site) due to the constant changes in the amount of edema in my hands. My fingers are ALWAYS swollen to some extent and these splints have reduced the severity of pain in the effected joints. If you haven't tried them you need to. You'll love them, too!!

Would be nice not to have to wear a "flesh" colour splint that doesn't match my brown skin. Additional colours or a clear option would be my preference.

oval 8 works great for splint to prevent locking joint. The size 9 is my everyday splint, but every now and then at night or when my finger is more swollen I use a size 10. My mom uses them too, but we both could use a size 9 1/2. We try both sides of the 9 and 10 and find that at times, both sides of 9 are too tight and both sides of 10 are too loose. PLEASE make some half sizes!!!!

Love love love these. Great for keeping my fingers straight but still able to bend. Wish I had discovered them last year after my first hand surgery. I bought extra in case I swell. With RA, every day is different. Thank you.

The oval 8 finger splint works exactly as it is designed for. As an elderly person, it is hard to judge which is the full side, and which is the plus 1/2 side ( the bend is too slight to tell). If there were a way to distinguish ( by color code or marking) it would be very helpful.

OMA: You asked and we listened! We're happy to announce we have added a plus+ mark to the Oval-8's. The new + sign on the end marks the end that will fit looser (1/2 size larger) when put on the finger first.

Thanks to the start of osteoarthritis, I've developed Heberden's nodes, primarily on my right little finger, but also now developing on my left little finger. Measured my upper joint with both a ring sizer and the measuring method. As a result, I ordered a size 5 and a size 6, which are working fine. After a couple weeks, the inward curve is noticeably improved and I am comfortable using the Oval-8.

My occupational therapist recommended the oval 8 finger splint for my trigger finger. I mostly use it at night to help ease pain and swelling and it keeps my finger from locking in bent position. I am unable to use it in my daytime activities.

Just what I was looking for! Can use my thumb again while it heals. Provides great strength and support for every task. Forget it's even there. My thumb doesn't accidentally "pop" anymore. And don't have to worry about them getting wet or anything. Can even sleep with them. Would definitely recommend to anyone with problem finger joints.

The splints work well, for trigger and hold up under use.

I agonized each time my finger got stuck in the flexed position. Having to 'pop' it free hurt a Lot! This device provides wonderful support, is almost invisible, and can be reversed easily to allow needed flexibility, such as when typing this review! Get it; you'll love it!

These are great for my trigger thumb. Much better than the type that need to be removed for hand washing. They are so much less bulky also. I used it years ago to heal a trigger finger. Hope it works for the thumb also.

I bought this product for a trigger thumb. It allows me to do almost everything I normally do but protects the joint in my thumb. Urgent care referred me to an ortho but I'm hoping to alleviate the problem on my own if I can. Only been a week, too soon to tell if it works.

Love these little ingenious devices. They're easy on-easy off and I pretty much forget about them once they are on and leave them on all day. My therapist recommended them for my arthritic thumbs to keep them from going into hyperextension. Interestingly, they also seem to alleviate some of the arthritic pain. Bought these for my mom for her arthritic thumbs and trigger fingers.

My therapist recommended this product to me for a trigger thumb. It allows me to do almost everything I normally do but protects the joint in my thumb. It is a bit awkward sometimes, but all in all, it still allows me to finish my daily tasks.

Being a seamstress by trade, this spint is great for my work. I can wear it and sew. If I need to remove it for a task, it slips right off and easily slips back on. I have RA and suffer from chronic trigger fingers.

I have osteoarthritis and RA. The OA has affected my index fingers causing the the top joints to bend outward (towards the thumbs). When I use the fingers and press or twist the wrong way the sharp pain can be quite a surprise. The splints straighten the fingers to almost normal and helps prevent using the fingers incorrectly. The splints are being used to permanently straighten the fingers (I don't believe this is possible) but it definitely helps me to function better. It does take some getting used to but getting used to them and it's only been a week since put the on. I also sleep with them on. Can do dishes, wash hands etc without too much trouble keeping them on. I do take a break every so often during the day and remove them. The natural color of the splints make it so they are not terribly noticeable so I'm not self conscience wearing them in public.

We ordered this Oval 8 splint for my right pinky finger and carefully measured the circumference of that finger per the firm's size chart. at 1-3/4", the chart indicated a Size 2. Which turned out to be quite tight and painful. The company has since replaced (and sold me) this with a more expensive graduated splint set (sizes 2,3 and 4). As it turns out, Sizes 3 and 4 fit my 1-3/4" circumference finger. Apart from the erroneous sizing chart, the product is great, light and wonderful--a real game-chager (and the customer service rep helpful). Wish I did not have to go through that first step and bear the expense of S&H.

An occupational therapist suggested I try this type of splint to align finger joints. The splints' silver material was difficult to adjust for a comfortable fit and quite expensive ($100 ea). Attempts to correct the fit became exasperating, and the splits were returned. A next-step google search led me to ohmyarthritis. The splints I ordered were wearable right out of the packet. The graduated sizing trio is brilliant and the price point is lovely. Great product!

I ordered these splints for a patient with multiple digit swan neck deformity. They came within 2 business days and she had them at her next visit. All with regular shipping. Everything came as ordered and they fit and work perfectly.

I have osteoarthritis that includes my fingers and I am a piano player. I wear these splints around the clock on the two fingers most affected and I notice a big difference. I think the splints protect these joints from further damage by bring them. I have much less pain in them. To me, the cherry on the cake is that they are so unnoticeable! The expensive ones I had made by hand therapists looked quite ugly. Thank you for this product!

After an arthritis flare-up at the base of my thumb, I developed trigger thumb. Since I type and use my hands all day, a normal splint would get in the way. I got an Oval-8 splint online after carefully measuring my thumb. It was such a relief! It completely supported my joint without getting in the way, and allowed the problem to resolve itself without getting in the way of my work. It's hard to notice, too.

Works great to immobilize the thumb joint. comfortable and allows the thumb to be used while wearing the device. It will come off when working in the garden so a small piece of tape will keep it in place. I almost lost it. This device is very tough and will stand up to heavy use.

I used the Oval-8 for a trigger thumb and have been able to avoid surgery! I can do almost anything with the Oval=8 on and that includes gardening and household chores. It is far better than surgery, being in a cast for 6 weeks, and relearning how to use my thumb! Thanks for a great appliance.

A good idea, but the one I ordered wouldn't fit over my finger any more, after a very slight swelling was caused after first use. I have ordered a larger size. I did carefully measure before ordering, so I woiuld recommend ordering a little larger than you expect.

OMA: As swelling or temperature changes can affect your finger size we suggest ordering the Oval-8 Graduated Set of 3 consecutive sizes.  The Graduated Set makes choosing the correct size easier by giving you the extra splints needed for changes in your finger size.

Love-love-love my Oval 8. It's an excellent product that does exactly what I need it to do. It's super light, comfortable to wear, totally inconspicuous, and inexpensive to boot!

The first one was too small so I sent it back and got the next size up. It seemed to fit but after a few hours it had rubbed a blister on both sides of my thumb. I am going to try one more time with the next size up, because it did make my thumb feel better at first, before the rubbing started. If the next one does not work I am giving up and going to the doctor.

OMA:  We're very sorry to hear that you are having difficulty finding the right size Oval-8 finger splint. Because fingers come in different shapes and sizes, sometimes the Oval-8 may need to be adjusted by a healthcare provider trained in customizing splints to get an exact fit. To find a certified hand therapist in your area, visit www.htcc.org.

If your finger or thumb is sore we also suggest using a Gel Tube, a piece of Gel Mate silicone gel, or a gel lined bandage to cushion the joint for comfort. You may require a larger size to fit over any cushion. Please feel free to contact our customer service team if we can be of assistance in any way.

I have an extremely large, arthritic joint, the second on my middle finger. I tried a graduated set first, found my exact size, then ordered more, a set of three in my size. I am able to play my piano, open jars, etc., and have support for that joint. it's better than the ones I had made in a therapist's office, and much more sightly. Thank you for making these!

My hand therapist recommended this for my very swollen thumb joint due to osteoarthritis. Works great! I use it as work and can type with it all day - pain free. It is lightweight and extremely comfortable.

The Oval 8 finger splints are great. I've graduated to smaller sizes for my little fingers. Correction takes time (like with anything worth while).

Simple effective fix for straightening finger joints after stroke.

I have Lupus and my fingers have developed a "Swan Neck". The splints help keep my fingers straight so the function better! This is a great product, I highly recommend the Oval 8 finger splints!

It keeps my 'swan neck' little finger straight and easy to bend. And hardly anyone even notices it because it blends so well with my skin. The only problem I seem to have is losing them and having to order them again!

I found your Oval 8 searching the internet to see what exactly a mallet finger is. I was astonished to see that it would not heal on its own. I wore a finger sleeve for a few days and it was more comfortable than using nothing at all, but not very practical with the moisture and also my finger kept bending. Figured out my size and am waiting for the six to eight weeks to pass to see if it is healed. Keeping my fingers crossed, its been two weeks now and works absolutely great so far.

Trigger thumb had gotten so painful 6 mos. ago I searched internet & found this. I ordered, slipped it on, and it solved the problem instantly. MD told me the only solution was surgery, but if this alternative works, I'll use it forever.

It does what I expect it to do. Thanks for a great product.

I ordered 2 of them for my thumbs which have trigger finger. I wasn't sure if they would need adjusting? I got them a couple hours ago and think I got the correct size after all. They feel snug, but comfortable. Thank you for the excellent product, instructions and follow up. I won't hesitate to recommend your company.

It started out the day fine, but then it tightened on my finger, so I'm returning it for a larger size. It did what I expected it to do. Thanks fro a great product.

I just happened to find these while searching the internet for more splint options to help with trigger finger. I gambled, ordered through Amazon, then re-ordered through the manufacturer. Orthopedic doctors, pharmacists, and medical suppliers have never heard of them. These are really ingenious, effective solutions to my trigger finger, and are barely noticeable.

I have been suffering with trigger thumb for several weeks now. Just got my Oval-8 this morning and have been wearing it all day and what a relief! I had been wearing a thumb spica brace, which was uncomfortable and didn't really keep me from bending my thumb. This is so much better!

Really great product. Always wore tape around my finger before I found this little gem.

After trying several types of devices including some patent pending expensive HandFixes, I tried the Oval 8 because if it worked, I like the open air feature versus taping my finger, getting it wet, etc. This little miracle totally stabilizes your finger. Once you determine your finger size watch the videos to see how many different finger issues this will help along with how to wear it for different conditions. You can wash your hands without removing it, shower, swim, etc. I can't find any negatives to share! I ordered a spare after wearing the first one for two days because there is no doubt that this is the best there is.

I received my Oval 8 rings today and could not be more happy. I love them. I hardly notice I have them on and my thumb is stationary so it will heal better and faster, and can't flex and snap.
Thank you so much.

Have an untreated mallet finger that turned into a swan neck deformity (think)...went to Hand Therapist yesterday (1st time) and she introduced your Oval-8 splints to me: THANK YOU!!! First relief from throbbing (sometimes awful, always there) for first time in 16 years."

My finger even "feels" better already!!!! I have had two trigger finger problems for a few years now. I was using an elastic band to try to keep my middle finger from bending at night while I slept Now with this oval 8 splint, my finger actually feels better!!. I highly recommend this splint. I even think I won't need any surgery. I can "hope", can't I???

I have Multiple Sclerosis. My fingers are starting to curl. In the evening I can wear Resting Hand Splints but during the day, while propelling my manual wheelchair, I am active and need the use of my hands. The Oval-8 finger splints enable me to continue my activities of daily living with greater ease. I wear 3 splints on my right hand. It does not interfere. The cost of the splints are very reasonable. I strongly recommend Oval-8 Splints

The surgeon told me the only way to fix my trigger finger was an operation, but her intern told me about these. LOVE them!!!!!!”

This product didn't work because my finger still has swelling from the initial injury, and the plastic ring was too constricting and dug in. Might be good later on after injuiry is better healed, but not working for me right now. I am 5 weeks out from injury and still have alot of swelling.

With mallet injury one is not supposed to bend the first finger joint but keep it splinted all the time for many months. I thought this would be better than the tape and flat finger splint my doctor recommended because I could get my hand wet which I could not do with the other splint. Only problem was that in trying to put it on my finger joint kept getting bent because the splint has to fit snugly.

Great products, I just wish the numbers for the sizes were easier to read

They can come off your fingers quickly when you're washing your hands...... be careful.....

I love, love, love my Oval-8 splints. I have them for every finger, because typing without them is very painful. I wish I could do everything in my Oval-8s, but they are a bit bulky so I can't write or crochet with them on.. I use mine to correct the hypermobility in my fingers caused by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. They are very supportive, but they can slip off your fingers easily if your hands get cold. I've lost a few that way. My Oval-8s were fairly inexpensive, compared to other finger splints,. I really can't recommend them enough.

My son has joint hypermobility syndrome.The splint prevents him from hyperextending his thumb when he holds a pencil.

 It helped a lot to stabilize my very hyper flexible thumb joint. I would give it more stars but bc I'm female and have a small thumb I was constantly adjusting it to stay where it needed to be. However I don't really need it right now bc the major pain was eleviated by resting it with this. I had a jewelry lady size my thumb so the fit was pretty good.

I injured my finger (mallet finger injury) and was looking at 6 weeks in a splint. Every other splint I could find had some major drawback. This splint is genius. I can wear it 24/7, it's waterproof, supports my finger, I can type with it on, shower, basically anything... love it.

I was prescribed ring splint to help keep my fingers from deforming due to arthritis. I find that they are comfortable, easy to wear, and accomplish the purpose. I was surprised to find that they also helped to ease the pain from arthritis in the fingers with the splint - much better than needing to rely on drugs to handle the pain.

These are lightweight and give me good support. I do have multiple sizes in these--rather short, arthritic fingers that sometimes are more swollen with fluid retention--thus the need of varying sizes. Wearing these intermittently gives my fingers good support and helps keep the inflammation down.

I use these because my fingers fold down and stay that way until morning. It is very painful to unfold them, even under warm water. These splints keep my fingers in a natural position and helps me to avoid the painful routine of having to unfold arthritic fingers.

I was suffering from severe trigger finger and a doctor recommended the Oval 8 splint. I wear it every night in bed and the pain is gone and I rarely lock up any more. I highly recommend trying this before surgery.

This is the second oval 8 splint that I purchased After wearing the oval 8 finger splint I noticed that the swelling was going down. After one month of wearing the finger splint the swelling had gone down so much that I had to purchase another one in a size 8. This product is great, it keeps your finger immobile to allow it to heal.

It's a life saver does just what they said it would. I can work again and not drop stuff.

All I can say this splint is a great idea but don't buy it until you're sure about the correct size.. It's pretty useless if it doesn't fit snug.
