Oval-8® Graduated Set

Purchased a size 6 and 7 for a mallet index finger. Because of the swelling those were too small but I exchanged them for the 8, 9 and 10 pack. Have started with the 10 and as swelling goes down will probably use others. The splints work as designed and, being winter, allows me to wear gloves where other splints would not.

Does exactly what they are designed to do - restrict movement to help reduce discomfort. I will be purchasing extra to have backups if they get lost.

So much better than taping or metal/foam splint. I'm able to (sort of) type and play the piano, cook, wash dishes, take a shower, all of which were almost impossible with the metal splint. Definitely spend more and buy a graduated set. You probably won't measure correctly the first time and you'll have a range to try, and if your finger swells at times you'll have another option

I bought this to immobilize my finger and it seems to be working well and I can type with it.

I got these for my pinky hammer DIP, and they have really increased my joint mobility. I'm sort of between sizes, but a little tape allows me to use the larger size. There is a reasonable amount of deformity, so I have to put on upside down, then rotate it into position, which isn't easy to do, but it "cracks" the joint and really helps remove the pressure from subluxation. If I wear it all night, the finger is a little tender for about an hour in the morning, but then it goes away and the rest of the day is great.

I have recently developed a trigger thumb and wanted a splint to keep it from popping and hurting. I am wearing this splint 24/7 and is so comfortable and has helped the inflammation. It is so great that I can wear while working in water (just make sure it doesn't slip off). I also appreciate that it is not so obvious in wearing it and blends quite well with my skin.

I am using this to help immobilize the DIP joint on one finger due to bone spurs. (The doctor recommended immobilization for 6-8 weeks,) After 4 days now, their is less discomfort from the spurs. #8 seems to be just the right size for me, but, it will work its way off if you catch it just the right way when using your finger. I tossed a brick with the affected hand and off it went. It will also come off if it gets wet, like when washing your hands. You do need to be continually cognizant of it.

OMA:  We're are glad to hear that the Oval-8 is helping to reduce your discomfort.  It sounds as if your Oval-8 may be too loose.  It should fit snugly but comfortably.  The angled band on the Oval-8 allows each splint to fit tighter or looser depending on which end you put on your finger first. For example a size 8 fits as either an 8 or 8 1/2. The end with the Plus+ sign is larger and will fit looser when put on the finger first.  Please contact our customer service team at [email protected] if we can assist in any way.

I was developing problems with typing. It felt like the keys were sticking and then my fingers hurt. The keys weren't actually sticking, my fingers were bending back and subluxing as I typed. These splints have completely fixed that problem. I can type with no trouble at all now. The splints seem to run a little small, so you may want to size up.

I have trigger thumb and it is impossible to find the old style aluminum thumb splints any more. The problem with most available "splints" in stores and online is that they do not immobilize your thumb which is what my trigger thumb needed to heal. I found the Oval-8 on OhMyArthritis.com and had high hopes. I was not disappointed. As noted in other reviews, it is a little trickier sizing for thumbs but since I bought the graduated size three pack, a found a splint size that is perfect for my thumb. The Oval-8 works exactly as advertised, perhaps better, and I don't need to take it off when it gets in way or gets wet. Excellent product.

Measured,Tried graduated oval set 10-11-12 to see how they fit and if i'd like them - All good - So ordered 2nd set. OT just suggested it - wish i'd had them before!

Very thorough sizing chart but wrong for trigger thumb. I just reordered the largest size and hope it is correct

These were ordered for my husband who has a trigger finger issue. The measurement that I took was inaccurate regarding the proper fit. Not only was the smallest of the three too large, but I spent the extra money to have it FedExed overnight.

Ordered my Oval 8 splint for my trigger thumb. It was shipped very quickly and works very well. I am extremely pleased!

These plastic finger splints are uncomfortable, make the knuckles swell up & get red after a few minutes, & don't really straighten the finger that much. I'm returning mine, & I'm gonna get the metal splints with the blue foam cushioning instead.

OMA: We are sorry to hear your Oval-8's were uncomfortable. Oval-8's should fit snugly, but comfortably and should not cause redness or swelling. It sounds as if the size you ordered may be too small. We want you to be happy with your purchase!

Just received my Oval-8 finger splint for my little finger which is starting to curl due to Dupuytrin's contracture and after only 2 days of wearing it, the finger is much straighter! Unbelievable! I am a musician and my fingers are very important to me. I like the fact that it is unobtrusive in appearance and I can play my guitar with it on with no problems. My banjo player uses your thumb splint for her "clicking thumb" and she has seen much improvement as well. Thank you omyarthritis and also for all your help in getting me the right size. Great product and customer service.

I developed mallet finger on my right hand middle finger. As a trumpet player, Ineed the least obtrusive solution to allow me to perform. I measured as instructed, but ordered the graduated set to be sure. My original measurement fits great and I will be able to continue to play during the prescribed 6 week healing period. Thanks!!!

The product is AWSOME but the shipping is good I guess if you get the std shipping the two day air is not worth nothing it still takes 5-6 days to get here soooo...

This just started sort of out of the blue, and researching options I came upon this website. I ordered a package of 3. The largest one I the only one that fit. It works well, is fairly comfortable and does keep the thumb from "clicking." I'm hoping this immobilization works. Early days, so we will see. But the splint is unobtrusive and fairly comfortable.

The splint is comfortable, unobtrusive, effective as well as waterproof. I bought the package of three, but only one is the correct size. So, I have two that don’t fit. My trigger has always been painful in the morning, but wearing the splint has made a huge difference. It’s a very simple design but is very effective.

Wrong size so the sizing chart is wrong, but customer service very nice.

First order was too small, return was uncompleted. Talked with Jennifer in Customer Service with excellent results and ordered next size splints and added a #7 which I needed also. I am so pleased with the product that a fellow church goer tried my set and will be ordering his own to offset the pain of his trigger finger which is my problem as well. Wonderful product and service.

Have a severe trigger finger, which is very painful to put back in place. So glad I found the oval 8, I would recommend it to everyone who has a problem with their finders.

The oval-8 splints are so comfortable that the relief on my trigger thumb symptoms has been unbelievable. I ordered the graduated set of 3, one of which fits perfect and the next larger one is good if I've experienced swelling. Also, great that each split is actually 2 sizes depending on which end you put on first. They are so easy to slip on and off for hand lotion, and so much more sanitary than bandaging since you are able to wash your hands without removing. The web site is great with the video. Hope after 6 weeks of splinting that my thumb is rested and my trigger finger symptoms are gone.

I got the graduated set of 3 and one fits my thumb and one my finger. The first day, the one on my thumb fell off and I was lucky enough to find it and then went to the next size down. It is too early to know if it will help, but they are very comfortable to wear.

I about a set to try out for my trigger thumb. They are helping so much! I followed the sizing directions on the web site and they fit great! Thanks!

Was very reluctant to buy because it is a bit more expensive than drug store splints, but these are so comfortable and you don't have rewrap or replace them. Might as well invest the $25 or so in the graduated set and get the right match since you'll be wearing this for 6-8 weeks for a mallet finger!

I bought a set for my trigger thumb. My hands are in water most of the day both at home and on the job so I wanted a minimal amount of splinting. I wear one size during the day and the next size up at night. They work with my skin tone but would be more noticable on darker skin.

I haven't had the product long enough to know if it will have any lasting or beneficial effect however it feels like it's working. I'm relatively young and noticed a slight bend (knot) in my index finger joint. Not wanting "old lady crooked fingers" I purchased this product and am hoping to have positive results. It's not particularly comfortable, so I assume it's working. The purchase process was simple.

I like the finger guard and it keeps my finger immobile. However, having shorter fingers there needs to be shorter sizing for the oval side. It is too long for my finger.

Fit perfectly. It does not hinder my piano playing, very comfortable. I am very pleased, I am going to order one in medal too, for when I want to look a little dressier.

I developed a trigger thumb. Checked on line and used the sizing chart. I ended up ordering two different graduated sets. Usually I need the size 8, but if my hands are cold, I use the 7 and if they swell I have the 9. It is comfortable to wear and seems to be working, thumb is not "clicking" as much when I do take it off to check for improvement. It's very important to wear it at night, since most people complain about it being bad in the morning....probably because we sleep with our hands in fists with the thumb on the inside. Will have to give it more time to rest the tendon.

I recently developed a trigger finger in my ring finger. It happens mainly over night. So when I wake up in the morning the finger is stuck in a closed position. To prevent this from happening, I wear the Oval 8 at night. Along with physical therapy, the Oval 8 is helping to correct the problem.

This worked for my Pinkie. Took a while but trigger finger went away without surgery. I have had 4 trigger releases. Now my left thumb is triggering & spasming. Have used this 2 months, probably will take 2/3 more months

I ordered the graduated set of the Oval-8 for a trigger thumb. I received the product in the time promised. I opened the package with the three sizes. My thumb is swollen therefore I thought trying the three sizes would be best. The 8 was too small for my swollen thumb. The size 10 is a tad too big so I think the 9 might have been perfect however, the size 9 doesn't appear to be sized properly plus it wasn't formed properly. One side of it wasn't even molded all the way closed so I have no way of knowing if the 9 would be best. In that I am a little disappointed. I am wearing the 10 but it has slipped off several times. Luckily I was able to find it. It does appear to be helping - just wish I could have had the opportunity to at least try the 9. As far as ordering again... time will tell.

OMA:  We apologize that you received a defective Oval-8 Finger Splint. Our goal is to always provide our customers with quality products. Please contact our customer service team at [email protected] so that we can help resolve this issue for you.

When I called to order the oval 8, the representative told me I'd get better deals online than over the phone, so that's what I did & she was right! My order came in 2 days. I also used their finger sizing chart & it worked perfectly.

I recieved mine and its perfect. Ordered it for boutonniere finger. Okay going to put all the complaints I read about to rest. Oval 8's website has a finger sizing diagram & chart you can print out with instructions. To those who keep losing it paint it red or a color thats easily recognizable; or fashion a wrist lanyard to this device. For those who complain about $11, how much is the health of your finger really worth to you. Mine is worth way more than $11 bucks. Buy the pack of three that encompasses the size you measured from the "free" sizing chart from oval 8. It really works and is better than the smelly metal finger splint. People stop being lazy and do your own homework, and think outside of the box to solve your own complaints. This is the reason we are getting our butts kicked in education from other countries. Geez!

The splint works great and is very comfortable to wear. I would definitely recommend and order again!

the ones that I originally ordered were to small, but once I got the right size it worked great. I can get my hand wet without worrying, which is great because the splint needs to b on for 3 months!

Great little item! Perfect design! Comfortable and unobtrusive, can wear them all day and night letting my fingers heal without hampering my movement. Would highly recommend these!

I purchased this product for "trigger thumb," (which I don't even know how this occurred), and the treatment seems to be helping, but takes a long period of time for healing.  I'm sure it took a long time to develop, so it probably takes at least that long to heal. I'm sorry I can't give an instant review, therefore. I don't yet know, but can only assume I'm on the right track. Thank you for your products - I am appreciative of their availability!

Work well to help with trigger finger. I measured my fingers though and ordered according to the chart and they came smaller than they should have.

Amazingly comfortable, durable, and easy to use. I can sleep with it on, and it doesn't come off. These things really do the trick, and are worth every cent.

I watched the sizing video on the website and must not have done something right because my first order was way off on the size. Sent it back and got the right ones - 10, 11, 12. They do a pretty good job. Delivery was quick and so was refund for the return. Good packaging.

Ordered the 2 3 4 pkg. only the size 4 actually fits. Just wish it staightened my little finger more. Other than that, I am satisfied with the splint and will order another. It is so much more comfortable than the splint I've worn for 7 months from the doctor.

Mullet finger. Placed order for one size. Received order. Too small. Returned order and placed another order for Graduated set. Received new order. With some finger swelling, the largest size fit. And I'm sure as the swelling goes down, I'll be using the next size from the set to replace the one that is on right now. With that said, you might be wondering about the title of this review. Well, when I put this great product on my poor little finger, the first thought that came to mind was, "What Happened to the pain?" The pain was gone. That's...What Happened. Very good product. Thank you.

I ordered a set of oval 8 finger splints. I needed to exchange them for smaller sizes and was amazed at the prompt, efficient service. Within days I returned the one set and had the other. They were perfect! Your attention to detail and customer service is extraordinary. Thank you.

I would like to tell you that I am so happy that you make the fantastic oval 8 finger splint. Just yesterday I ordered my third one. The pattern for sizing was quite confusing but after first ordering the graduated ones I found the perfect one. It's a lifesaver!

Mayo Clinic fitted me with the Oval 8 for trigger finger on my right ring finger. It's very effective. I wear it 24 hours a day. It's comfortable if you have the right size and most people don't notice it. I ordered extra because I have pain without it.

I am having difficulty with the perfect fit. None of the sizes fit in my first order. In the second order, 8 was too tight, 9 was about right but slipped off in the pool. Ten is too loose but I have it taped on. My thumb partially triggers at times even with the oval-8 on. I hesitate to order only the 9's. I'm trying a larger splint for awhile. It would be so helpful to try oval-8's in a drugstore, but none carry them in my neighborhood.

Only had it a couple of days, so we'll have to see. So far, it seems to work, although feels a little loose, so orthopod will have to check and maybe change size in a couple of weeks. You can shower with it on, but not a bad idea to cover it with surgical-type adhesive tape for ordinary wear if it feels a little slippy.

I have arthritis in DIP joint of little finger. Whenever I move or bump it....OWW! Oval 8 is a blessing, I would give it more stars if I could! This splint is designed to increase by a half size just by turning the splint around!! Ingenious! I am glad I bought the 3-size pkg because some days my joint is inflamed and needs the larger size. This is inconspicuous, comfortable to wear all the time and made to last. I wash the dishes, do housework, drive the car and even forget I have it on! I recommend it enthusiastically!

My husband is very happy with this product. It is much sturdier than I thought. We are using this for a mallet finger it's been a week and so far so good.

After trying everything under the sun to immobilize my trigger finger, I found these Fabulous Braces! Thank you!

Bought a variety pack. I bought a different product before, but this one is much better. You never have to take it off, wash you hands when necessary with it on. It is virtually invisible. Perfect

I had to purchase a larger size because my finger was swollen. It feels comfortable. Not Bulky like other splints. Being waterproof helps with me being a nurse and I need to wash my hands a lot.

This is a must for me. When I where it during the day I am able to use my hand much easier than with the bulky braces. I wear it at night so my thumb doesn't freeze in a bent position. Sizing is very accurate. Speedy Delivery too.

Measured carefully. Ordered 3 size 5's that were too small. returned them and ordered set of 3, sizes 6, 7, and 8. I got 2 to work, sort of. I find them uncomfortable for any length of time, getting aching in my finger joints. also, they don't stay on very well. Service was very prompt and accurate.

I bought two other supports for my trigger thumb before finding Oval8. One was too soft, the other one did not cover the joint needing stabilization - and with both, I was removing them and putting back on constantly when I washed my hands, used the PC, etc. I tried the Oval8 pack with graduated sizes, found the correct size, and just ordered more. For me, they are the perfect solution.Thank you!

Ordered two packs-different sizes. Was able to find one that fit. Am using it to protect fractured knuckle. Wish I had seen these earlier in the process. Super speedy delivery.

Sadly, these did not work for me for my mallet finger on my baby finger. My fingers are short and hands very small and the bottom loop prevented me from bending my second joint, which was becoming very stiff from lack of mobility due to other splints. I bought the small graduated set. The concept is wonderful, but just not made for small hands, sadly.

My mother said she does not have any pain.

How often can any of us find reasonably priced, well designed, functional, long lasting medical devices? Well, the Oval 8 and related products show that it is possible. It would be nice if others followed their example.

I'm still experimenting with various splint devices in stabilizing my trigger thumb and alleviating discomfort. I ordered the graduated size selection and the size 12 works well. Nice design. Good product.

Awaiting surgery to correct painful trigger thumb and considered cancelling my vacation. Instead tried Oval 8 and had instant relief from the pain. Was able to wear it all day and night. Often I forgot I had it on . Thank you for an easy to use, comfortable solution to trigger thumb

I ordered a graduated size set to ensure I'd get the right size. I'm treating trigger thumb. The splint is very comfortable, light, not bulky, hardly noticeable to others. When my hand got cold, and the split started to slip easily, I turned it around as suggested, but my thumb is so tender, I couldn't handle the additional pressure it puts on top of the joint, so if I know I'm going to get cold hands, I just use a bandaid around the base. So glad I found this product!

Works well for my trigger thumb...lite weight, flesh toned, easy to take off when washing hands. I sometimes loose it when doing things and have to go search for it, but any tighter would be uncomfortable.

6 of my 10 fingers are triggers and I had never been able to find relief before coming upon Oval 8s. I purchased several graduated size sets. Now, regardless of how swollen my fingers are from arthritis, weather or diet, I always have the right size available, for instant relief. I use them nightly, and find they're so comfortable, I don't even realize I'm wearing them! Oval 8s have eliminated the need for painful and costly corticosteroid injections. I just can't commend this product enough. I highly recommend you try them for yourself.

Real relief from trigger thumb! Highly recommend this!

These offer great support in a concealing way. I had been wearing finger braces, but was always embarrassed when they would draw the attention of others. These help the locking issues and pain in my middle finger- in a way that is not so obvious to others. I fluctuate between a size 9 and 10. I would definitely recommend a set of different sizes. These have been a blessing to me since I swell differently at different times of the day. Thank you!

Works well for mallet finger. Sometimes it hurts a bit but it has to be stiff to keep the finger straight. I'm at the end of my injury so I don't wear it all the time but of the various splints I used for this condition, this one worked best because it didn't get the way of typing or doing chores.

I had to buy two sets to find the correct size. Have to take them off at night because of swelling of my fingers. Wonder whether the splints could be made with a more flexible material?

I measured my injured finger with the sizing method they prescribed. I was a size 6. Because my finger was swollen and I anticipated the swelling going down I got the 4,5,6 set. The 6 fit fine until my finger swelled further. I had to take it off and use a trough type splint they made for me at the doctors office. It would be really nice if a 5,6,7 set were available. Really stupid that it is not. I'm now using a topical anti inflammatory and back to using the size 6 splint. Don't forget to account for nighttime swelling when you size.

Glad I purchased the graduated sizes...as I needed a larger size than I thought I would. These are great to wear when doing house hold projects to avoid triggering. So much more comfortable than the neoprene finger sleeve I had been wearing. Also like that it is discreet in appearance.

Awesome product! I have been having issues with trigger finger and this product helped with the pain in just 2 days!! I took a guess on what size I would need. I wear a size 7 ring, so I chose the 8, 9, 10 package. Perfect fit! I can use the 8 and 9 on the fingers that are hurting and the 10 on my thumb if needed. Well made product and I can wear it under gloves at work without issue.

I have a trigger finger. I have tried therapy, hand exercises, perafin treatments to no avail. I bought the graduated splints they arrived in a couple of days. The middle size fit the best which I thought was a good thing so I have the other two if my finger swells or shrinks in size. I turned the splint around so the oval was on the bottom. I've been wearing it for about 3 hours and already it feels so much better. I am shocked that something so simple and inexpensive compared to everything else is amazing. I hope in time it will be cured.

I'm using these for trigger finger. I bought the 8,9,10 set first then bought the 6,7,8 set. I do believe these are helping and would help more if I wore them more. I'm a baker and find I fight against them trying to knead dough. I do recommend these splints. I find they run pretty close to ring size. I bought the second set after the 8 came off my ring finger. I now wear them snug and switch sizes depending on what I'm doing and if I'm outside in the heat or in AC

 I use as a thumb splint. Bought a three sizes pack and 2 of the 3 will work. These work far better than anything else I've tried and don't get hot like a wrap around brace

Got these to treat a Mallet finger. Getting a multiple pack, allows me to switch them on days of extra swelling.
The side that goes closer to the hand sometimes digs into my finger, when I type on the keyboard for long hours. I taped some cushion underneath, and wore the bigger one of the pack on top of the cushion, and it worked great. By the time I went to see the hand surgeon, they didn't feel like I needed a custom splint, because this was working fine.

These splints are simply great. I got them to treat Trigger Finger. I recommend getting the 3 size pack if you can't actually try one on. I bought them for my pinkie finger. Got the 6-7-8 pack. The 6 is to small for the knuckle, but the 7 is good for day use, the 8 for sleeping when the finger seems to swell a bit.

This is an ingenious invention for fractured finger! The other splints get wet and water-log my finger. Only thing is it can decrease the circulation a bit, so need to re-adjust to make sure not swelling. Recommend the multiple sizing, as the size changes as healing and swelling decreases.
