Oval-8® Multi-Size Packs

I’ve been using these splints for years. I just ordered them for my thumb and felt immediate relief in the knuckle joint. I used their measuring guide and the size is perfect!

My thumbs were killing me from arthritis. I had this ache and burning sensation almost continuously. I thought I'd try this, and I'm really glad I did. I only bought one for my right thumb. I'll be getting another for the left. What a difference these make!

Another thank you to the Oh My Arthritis crew for getting my Oval-8 set of 3 in the mail right away. At 77 years old, and after playing flute since junior high school, you’ve made playing so much easier. I always had to use plugs for the left hand keys but didn’t realize my hitchhiker’s thumb was causing the problem until the condition worsened to the point I was afraid I’d have to give up playing my beloved flute. But before I set it aside, I set out on a search hoping for an answer. Thanks to OMA I have an effective, inexpensive solution! The naughty thumb's backward angle is far greater than 20 degrees but the Oval-8 Finger Splint holds it straight preventing it from collapsing backward when I play. You made this flute playing gal so happy and made playing fun again.

The 3 pack of oval 8 splints work great for my trigger thumb. They are comfortable, easy to wear, and don't disrupt my daily work. These allow pain free time for the tendon to hopefully heal. Great product.

While the splints themselves are affordable and very helpful, getting the right size is not easy. I had to send the splints back which cost me 7.10 to return and also paid for shipping intially. Definitely recommend but I think they could improve with shipping and returns.

Very happy with product. Good fit and can wear in the water.

I bought the pack of 5 graduated sizes of splints for my index finger injury. The splint does a good job of keeping my finger straight without being bulky like some splints. The splint stays in place and yet doesn't cut into my skin. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Immeasurable relief with Oval 8 splint for trigger thumb. Can't believe it. Feel like I have my finger back. Also bought gel tube in the event of blister but haven't needed it yet. Security knowing I can protect skin, if needed. Wonderful products!

Lucky me, I went in for a couple of fingers that were getting stuck and was diagnosed with 8 trigger fingers and 2 trigger thumbs. The occupational therapist fitted me early in the morning and said I needed size 5 and 8-10. I got two sets of 10-11-12 and the relief was immediate. The range of sizes and the one-end-larger-than-the-other design are wonderful and make it easy for me to adjust as my fingers swell during the day. I can wash dishes or myself while wearing them and just dry my fingers carefully -- SO much easier than other splints! Friends don't notice immediately that I'm wearing them. I accidentally dropped an 80-lb box on one that had fallen to the floor and it only cracked in one place, it's still useable. Waiting to find out if my fingers/thumbs will heal completely with splints or I'll need to get injections, but I'm very happy with these splints. I'm wearing them on the 3 worst fingers and the pain is much, much less after just a week. Five weeks to go.... I highly recommend them.

I followed the sizing recommendations exactly yet the ones I ordered for my pinky were too small! The plastic to me seems quite hard, thin and brittle. Very uncomfortable but mostly because they were not sized accurately. Was also not at all happy that I paid not only $8.50 shipping to get them but then had to pay over $5 shipping to return them. Would not recommend these!

OMA:  We are sorry to hear you are disappointed with your purchase.  While the majority of our customers are very happy with their Oval-8's - we understand everyone is different. Please reach out to our Customer Care team if we can help in any way [email protected]

I have searched (and tried) many different devices/bandages to help my trigger fingers and thumbs. These are the first I have found to actually work while also not getting in the way of my daily activities.

Excellent customer service Splints keep finger/ thumb straight and it's easy to was hands or get wet with no issues.

I thought I measured my thumb right but it's obvious I screwed up. "Measure twice, cut once." The principal of these is quite awesome.

This tiny Oval8 is a total brace for my thumb. All the others cover your whole hand. This Oval8 covers just my thumb & I can wear it 24/7. It’s very comfortable & I don’t have to take it off to wash dishes or shower. Thx ohmyarthritis you made my problem better!

OMA:  We are delighted to hear the Oval-8 is helping to make your thumb problem better!

Oval 8 splints were a blessed relief from the splints provided by my orthopedist. His splints raised the pain level in my fingers dramatically, but the Oval 8s bring very little discomfort. I could wish that the sizes that closely fit my knuckles also held my finger tips up in a straighter position. I wrapped some tape, several times, around the back loop of the splint to provide more lift for the finger tip. That seemed to help, because the orthopedist is very satisfied with how the reattachment is going. Even though he wants me to use his splints again, I'm sticking with the Oval 8s.

The guide made it easy to measure, and it was accurate. Received my product in a timely manner. Easy to use and very effective.

I have right middle finger mallet deformity due to cut over joint. Though completely healed cut, the Oval 8 splints pressed painfully over the joint (yes, I aligned the splint correctly!) I ordered the "8,9,10" combo. Only one fit correctly, and the other two were useless. I returned all as not the right splint for me; and the company was very kindly accommodating in refund. 

OMA:  We are sorry to hear the Oval-8 wasnt the right solution for you. Wearing a Gel Tube or band aid under an Oval-8 can provide extra protection and cushioning to make it more comfortable. While the majority of our customers are very happy with this splint- we understand everyone is different. Our customer support team is available through live chat or [email protected] to answer questions or offer suggestions on how to make the Oval-8 work for you. 

These are a nice minimalist alternative to braces that fit around the wrist for trigger thumb. (My issue) I measured for a 10 but found 11 with the slightly larger end up was most comfortable for me. Because it slips a little bit, I use a bandaid to hold it in place. (Careful - some bandaid adhesive bonds with the plastic and is very hard to remove - requiring scraping and Goo Gone. I suggest products using fabric rather than plastic - or for sensitive skin.) Every person is different so trial and error will be in order. The combo set is little more expensive but worth it.

These splints work very well. I ordered a combo set of 5 with my measured size right in the middle of the combo sizes. That one fit just fine and is comfortable - a great upgrade from the foam/metal splints that irritate your thumb or finger. It may slip off if you do something like pull your hand out of your pocket, but I've gotten used to that. I plan to keep the splint on for about six weeks on my trigger thumb.

I was in between sizes and so I decided to purchase the COMBO Set. The set included sizes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Each Oval-8 if turned around will give you another smaller or larger fit. I am wearing them all day. No more pain while I am sleeping.

I'm sure these are very effective but the combo package that I purchased based on the measurement criteria were unusable as they were too small. And they are too expensive for me to go through a Trial and Error process.

OMA: We are sorry to hear your splints did not fit. We do offer a 30 day return policy. Our Customer Service team would be happy to assist you with determining the size most likely to fit your needs and with the return of the splints that did not fit.

I developed trigger thumb on my left hand over the last two months. When it triggers, it is painful. After watching a YouTube video, the therapist recommended Oval 8 splints. I am very active and wearing the splint stopped my thumb from triggering. Really clever engineering. Plastic is almost indestructible. I first purchased size 11, and then the 10,11,12 graduated set and both work great. A fine product for a reasonable price.

Though I measured my finger size VERY carefully before ordering my 3-pack of Oval-8’s, the ones I got were too large. The rep (Kaye) I spoke to at OhMyArthritis helped with the return and a second order of smaller sized splints. The credit was issued very quickly to my account after my return was received.

My graduated Oval 8's work perfectly to prevent my fingers from locking into trigger finger position. I use three on my right hand and one on the left. To easily identify which belongs on each finger I added a dot of different colored fingernail polish to the end that goes on each finger first.

SO SCARY! Woke up with trigger thumb. Couldn’t move my thumb w/out it getting stuck! Found the oval 8 thumb splints (YouTube vids- Virtual Hand Care she’s amazing, tells you everything you need to know & has great hand exercises too ). The website is fantastic. I printed all 3 pages out. Tells you everything you need to know & do. Very informative & the product comes with instructions. Got the graduated set of 3 sizes. I was a size 7 so I went up a size & got 8,9,10. So glad b/c all of the sizes fit perfectly! Just depends on the weather (hot or cold) & if you’re finger is swollen or not. (Btw-The 7 would’ve been too small). Literally saved me a trip to the hand doctor! I’ve been wearing my thumb splint for 2 weeks & my thumb has completely healed! I still wear it when I’m typing to avoid another injury. The best invention especially b/c I can get it wet! I’m able to do dishes, shower, wash my hands, etc. Good quality, sturdy & strong but also very comfortable to wear & function 24/7. The shipping & customer service was on point. I received new, clean, correct products. Extremely thankful & happy for this company & their amazing products & service 🙏♥️✨

OMA: Thank you for sharing your story with us! We are thrilled that the Oval-8 Finger Splint has helped with your trigger thumb and that you found our website and customer service team to be helpful. 

Very disappointed. I bought the sizes 6, 7, 8 on the advice of my hand therapist. The size 7 fit but wearing it in either directions it didn’t do what it should have. At times it came off too easily. The size 6 was way too small and the 8 too large. Total waste of money.

OMA: We are sorry to hear that you were not able to find the right fit for your finger. We suggest you speak with your hand therapist to confirm you are wearing as  recommended.  As fingers come in many different shapes and sizes, sometimes the Oval-8 may need to be professionally adjusted by your hand therapist. We do offer a 30 day return policy if the splints need to be returned.  Please email us at [email protected] or call 1-888-378-7763 so we may assist you with your exchange or refund. 

These were recommended for me by my P.T. Department. P.T. created several custom molded finger braces for me over many months to try and correct a mallet finger I received from a fall. They helped a lot however my finger still had a noticeable downward bend to it. P.T. thought that perhaps wearing these would help. I was VERY pleased with the results! They are comfortable and easy to use. I can type all day with it on, crochet all evening with it on, as well as many other tasks. I forget I have it on! As my finger heals and the swelling goes down, I'm able to choose a smaller size! The bend in my finger is definitely improving thanks to these small devices and they are hardly noticeable unlike the bulky custom made ones. I really love them and would highly recommend them!

I ordered sizes 8, 9, 10 in Oval-8 Trigger Thumb Splints. I usually wear #9 and it's easy to turn it to make it tighter or looser. Truthfully, I am getting 99% relief as compared to a stainless steel thumb splint that was given to me by a hands ortho surgeon that attached itself to me with tape! Oval-8 is perfect! I'm thrilled!

Ordered this product. The process was easy and arrived timely. Excellent experience

The splint does the job of preventing triggering. And it is comfortable to wear. My only complaint is that while I was pretty sure I needed a size 10, I wanted to compare with the sizes above and below. To do that I had to order two packages-sizes 8/9/10 and sizes 10/11/12. Why no option to get sizes 9/10/11?

OMA: We are happy to hear the Oval-8 is helping with your triggering! We are currently working on offering new packaging choices to include more sizes. We hope to have them available soon. 

I ordered these splints using the sizing guide you can print out to measure your finger correctly so glad I did. I ordered the set of 3 so when my swelling went down I would have the correct size. I need to wear this for 6 weeks due to an injury and it is perfect light weight and very comfy. I tried others but this one is perfect.

These are great small braces for my trigger thumb, they work perfectly and help so much! I ordered the 10,11,12 sizes!

I measured as directed, but the product is too small. I can barely get the largest one on and quite frankly it’s causing more pain & blisters than before I used it. Maybe you should be able to pick three sizes, 5, 6, 7 for example.

OMA: We are sorry to hear that the Oval-8 Finger Splint did not work for you.  We have forwarded your suggestion about customizing the Graduated Set to our development team. Please contact us at [email protected] or through Live Chat if we can provide additional assistance.

This works well for my trigger thumb. Best part is that it is light, washable, and easy to put on and take off

I use the Oval 8 to prevent me from popping my left thumb. I can do anything I need to do as far as cleaning house, working cattle, etc. The splint is easy to put on, easy to clean, and almost invisible. Prior to using the Oval 8, I would be afraid to use my left hand because I knew it would hurt. The constant pain is no longer there and I'm not afraid to use my hand. The size 9 fits just right, I use the size 10 for sleeping at night. I use a little piece of tissue as a filler. Maybe I need a 9.5 size. I'm so glad I tried this product.

I have Trigger finger, and this appliance does help. However: I used your printable sizing guide, and clearly misjudged the amount of swelling I experience. My only complaint would be not getting a wide enough variety of sizes to get a gel sleeve under!

In a time when most items for sale are "junk", the Oval 8 is an exception. My order of a set of 8, 9, 10 was processed quickly. The sizing chart was simple and accurate. A finger on each hand was developing "trigger" finger. Have worn Oval 8 on each finger for a week now. I'm pleasantly surprised with the results already. My condition is noticeably improved. I'm performing the very same activities - yard & garden work - that caused the problem. I have no pain or discomfort. Also there has been no chafing or irritation to the fingers. I plan to wear each splint for at least several more weeks.

I ordered the set of 3 splints sizes 8,9, and 10. My measurements indicated size 9 and it fit perfectly. The package arrived sooner than expected. The splint immobilized my thumb and prevented the painful triggering. I like that I can keep it on when my hands are in water. Highly recommend this product

Recently, I developed a "catch" in my left thumb. I purchased a "finger splint" at a local drug store and it helped tremendously, but you can't wash dishes or bath with that type on. So I started looking for a "thumb specific brace and I found the Oval-8. I love it! I can wash dishes, bathe without have to take the brace off, which causes my thumb to hurt and throb badly. I ordered the set for sizes 8-10 based on my measurement saying I needed a 9. The 9 fits perfectly and I have the 10 when my thumb is swollen a little bit. Product was shipped quickly and as described. The Oval 8 is perfect. It holds my thumb in place and it is improving.

OMA: Thank you for your comments.  We are delighted to hear that the Oval-8 Finger Splint has helped to relieve your trigger thumb pain!

My consult with the ortho is 2 months out and I was told to wear a splint on my small finger until then. The big foam ones feel more stable for sleeping, but this one allow me to be more versatile during the day...writing, cooking, typing are all easier now. Love these!

OMA:  Thanks for sharing. We think the Oval-8 Splint's open air design and no messy tape or straps are great too!

So appreciate they come on packages to try different sizes. Arrived in a timely manner. Price is reasonable

I bought these for the trigger on my index finger. Products are easy to use. The sizing instructions are easy to follow and I suggest another set of hands for measuring your finger. It looks like I’m in between sizes, so I bought the set for sizes 8-10. They fit nicely and blend with my skin tone. I’ll probably another set as a spare.

I can now wash my hands without getting the sponge in the old-style splint wet. Also, my right index finger has arthritis so I am going to get one for that too--they are mostly invisible when in place. It took a little moisture and dish soap to slide it in place.

The sizing guide is clear and concise and WORKS! I ordered graduated sizes and all are great for my need. This Oval 8 splint set is #1 on my list. I hope it can help you as well!!

Helping to manage my trigger finger pain, while I wait for surgery date. Like that there are 3 consecutive sizes in the set, for when I have swelling.

The first thing that comes to mind is....WOW!! I got this for my trigger finger and I have had it only a week and I can see a little difference already. It is SOOOO comfortable, I wear it all the time. I don't even realize I have it on until I bend my finger and feel the resistance. I am so happy I found this site! THANK YOU!!

Exactly what I needed for my one trigger thumb and other sore thumb. Protects my ligaments perfectly, but I can still type, wash, do dishes, weed, etc without having to remove and replace a soggy brace or wrap. These are perfect. I wear an 11 on one, a 12 on the other. Your fit measure advice was accurate.

I carefully printed, cut and measured with the sizing tool provided, but the fit was not really close. Perhaps you need different instructions for trigger thumbs because they are shorter than other trigger fingers.

OMA:  Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve. Using a flexible measuring tape to measure around the joint of your affected finger/thumb is another sizing option. The Oval-8 ebook includes comprehensive information about choosing the correct size.  If we can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. They are always happy to assist with product or sizing questions.  

Am using it for my ring finger trigger finger. Wish I had known about it sooner. The problem was at its worst in the morning, but after wearing the splint at night it doesn't hurt at all in the morning. Was glad I bought the pack with three sizes. Some days I wear the 5 and some days the 6. Too bad that the hardest part of ordering is getting the size right. Luckily I remembered what my ring size used to be. Trying to measure with a string was too difficult and inaccurate. Wearing it is very comfortable. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it's overpriced for just a piece of plastic.

OMA: Thanks for your comments. We are happy to hear the Oval-8 is comfortable and helping your trigger finger. To determine your size, we suggest using a flexible measuring tape to measure around the affected finger joint. 

Have had RA for years and starting tto affect my fingers These splints were recommended by therapists Impressed with fast shipping. Are helping tremendously Thank you for great product and great customer service

this product doesn't meet my needs. It will be returned.

OMA: Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear the Oval-8 finger splint wasn't the right solution for you. Our customer support team is available at 1-888-378-7763 or [email protected] to assist with your return and offer possible alternatives.

I'm suffering from trigger thumb at the moment and these braces along with stretching and massaging are really saving my thumb. These specific ones were the wrong size for me but when I got the right size I was really pleased. I will say the bigger size can be worn over the smaller size in the opposite direction for added stability if you need it. So not a total loss even being the wrong size for me.

A friend told me about these. I suffer from recurring trigger finger in my left thumb. Doc says surgery on the horizon but using these keeps my thumb from reaching that "popping point" so i can functionally go about my day and not have any pain. I highly recommend these for trigger finger. I also like the fact that you can order them in radiant sizes just in case your hand shrinks or swells like mine do.

These are exactly what I wanted, but the sizing is hard to figure out. I ordered the 6-7-8 set, since the sizing guide says "Generally, sizes 5, 6 and 7 will fit most women’s middle joint (knuckle)." I have unremarkable hands, but even size 8 barely fits any of my fingers. Size 6 and 7 don't fit at all. I'll definitely order another graduated set to find a size that works.

OMA:  Thanks for your comments!  We are always happy to hear from our customers. Using a flexible measuring tape to measure around the joint of the affected finger or visiting your local jeweler and ask to have a ring sizer to measure the affected finger joint are good options for sizing. The Oval-8 Finger Splint Guide is also a helpful reference and has everything you need to know about how to choose the correct size, fit and wear the Oval-8.

Every now and then a product deserves a review. This is one of them. I am 71 and recently developed trigger thumb. Bought the 10,11,12 graduated set and ended up being a wide 12. Immediately re-ordered another 3 of # 12's to allow for the possibility of loss. Otherwise I am awed by the simplicity of their design and the precision of their functioning. Keep up the good work.

NEED SMALLER SIZE FOR BATHING, DOING DISHES, ETC.


OMA: We are sorry to hear your Oval-8's were not the correct size. Oval-8's should fit snugly, but comfortably. Please email us at [email protected] or call 1-888-378-7763 so we may assist you with your exchange or refund. 

Bought the 6-8 set when I typically wear a 7 comfortably on my ring finger. They fit great on index, middle, and ring fingers. Since they are plastic, it was a little itchy to wear for the first few days but after some gentle filing and wear, I barely notice them. It doesn't prevent my fingers from bending back but it prevents the most extreme bends and any swan neck issues.

Great product. Blends in with skin color. Supports thumb perfectly. Only issue , finding correct size a problem. The paper template isn't that accurate. Had to buy the three pack with different sizes to find the right one, and still the largest size is a bit small. so I did waste some money on two that don't fit.

OMA: Thank you for your comments. We're sorry to hear you found the paper guide to be inaccurate. Using a flexible measuring tape to measure around the joint of the affected finger or visiting your local jeweler and ask to have a ring sizer to measure the affected finger joint are other options for sizing.

I purchased these for trial wear and figuring out what size I would need for a more permanent option. And I really like them.

I ordered this and it came very fast what a lifesaver the pain in my thumb was unbearable and I wear this all the time until I can see my doctor in a couple weeks

I bought the 6, 7, 8 set and discovered that although my thumb is an 8, several of my “smaller” fingers are actually larger in diameter. I’m happy to have a second 8 in case I lose my first, and now I have braces for several other fingers when they act up. Great product, use it nightly and no more waking due to pain.

Recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my thumb and forefinger. I got my splints less than a week ago and the improvement was incredible. Swelling is down and pain is nearly gone. Thank you for a great product.

I love the graduated size options. I have one knuckle that needed flexibility of sizes and I got it! Oval 8 made a huge difference

Recently developed trigger thumb. Already had a wrist/thumb brace, which worked but was bulky and hot. Decided to try one of these and it’s perfect. Fits great, can wash up with it on, doesn’t slip off when wet, I even forget it’s there! Thanks for this brace!

Rheumatologist sent me to PT for swan-neck deformity due to R.A. PT fitted me in Oval 8, gave me only one! Knew in hot weather, going for walks my fingers swell! So, problem solved got the 3-pak 8, 9, 10. Give it time to accept the feel of plastic finger splint. You will soon realize that the awkward hyperextension of joint and poor slow bending of finger is being cured thanks to this miniature brace! Godsend!

The concept of the Oval 8 is ingenious and they are effective treatment. Much handier than a tape-on aluminum flat splint. Based on strictly following the sizing guide and measurements, I ordered a graduated 4-5-6 set for my ring finger mallet finger injury. Delivery was over a week. The size 6 just barely fits - uncomfortably. Now I’m facing additional expense and delay to get a larger single or set. Still, it seems to work well. I like that it immobilizes only one joint. On my right hand, that means it doesn’t hinder writing. Some problem typing but not like a full finger length splint. It’s also great for washing hands and showers.

Splints were delivered as promised, sizing work out accurately.  Use of size 14 is as yet undetermined but still some clicking of my right middle trigger finger.

Ordered the next larger 3-pak, since my little finger was swollen and painful with a size 10. I originally ordered the 8,9,10, since my ring finger is a 10 and a half and my bent pinkie seemed like a 10 with the swelling. But the 12 n my new packet seems like a much better fit, although still painful under the pressure band after a few minutes. I'm still excited to get the long term benefit, since even my hand surgeon said there is nothing he can do for me, My right pinkie finger is permanently bent after I dislocated it blocking a punt in football. Even though it was put back in place, it has become arthritic and stays in the bent position. I think gradually wearing it longer each time might work out ok.

At first I ordered size 7, and although it fit fine but did swell a little. I decided to order the 3pack sizes 8 through 10. I’m currently using size 8, if any swelling occurs I switch to 9. I cannot stress enough how much the oval 8 splint has helped! I am going to get an appointment with a hand specialist, but until I can, the oval 8 has been a the best thing I came across that that has provided instant relief for a very painful affliction. I highly recommend this product, it is light and gives me the ability for full use of my thumb!

OMA: Thank you for your review.  We are delighted to hear the Oval-8 is helping to relieve your pain. 

A little tight; I might need the next size up. Also, the pressure band could be wider - cuts into my skin and is a little painful at night.

This was not as useful as I had hoped. The splint rotates no matter what size I wore. Even when it was a tight fit the splint still rotated both when doing dishes in soapy water and when my hands were dry. The rotation is mostly unnoticeable, until suddenly my finger locks without warning.

OMA:  Thank you for your feedback. Oval-8's should fit snugly, but comfortably. It may be the size you are wearing is too large? Our customer service team is available at 1-888-378-7763 or [email protected] to discuss your situation and offer possible suggestions or adjustments.

Thank you for the help with my hands!!!

Trigger thumb. This replaced a piece of adhesive tape I pasted on the top of the thumb to inhibit bending. It does make grasping things (cups, drinking glasses) tricky. Also, wearing it continuously for three days left my thumb very stiff, so now I wear it at night and only part of the day. You need to measure the joint and get the appropriate three-pack. It has fallen off a couple of times. I'm also continuing with cold pack daily.

I like this brace for trigger thumb. It prevents my thumb from bending at the joint without having to wear a large splint over my whole hand. It slips on and off easily if I need to do something messy with food, lotion, etc. It can get wet. Be careful, though--it's also easy to lose. My only other cautionary comment is that it's difficult to get the sizing right until you try it. I used the measuring cut-out, but found the real product a little too snug, so it was important that I bought the three-pack.

I have trigger thumb. I first bought the larger graduated size and it was too big. I was able to use them by taping my thumb first. It worked so well that I bought the next sizes down. I now have plenty to work with my thumb who seems to be a different size everyday. These will work better with my job as they do not impede working with my fingers .

Developed trigger finger from playing guitar.. Therapist recommended these splints. I ordered the 3 pack in case I might need different size later. Happy with the order

Helps me hold dishes without my fingers bending back too far as I am hypomobile. The only benefit of the silver ones is they are prettier. These aren't bad and I just take them off after the dishes. I can't believe my hand specialists never recommended anything like these, they do the job! Sizing is very accurate.

I have had trigger finger in the past, but the Oval-8 splint I had used during physical therapy treatment was too small for my middle finger. I purchased the graduated sizes starting one size larger than the splint I had. It worked well. In fact, when my fingers were less swollen I could flip the Oval-8 around or use the next smallest size. Within 10 days, I have not had an episode of trigger finger relieving my fears of having the finger suddenly freeze in the bent over position while using my hands. I will see a physician to make sure the condition is at bay, but the splint bought me time over the holidays.

I have trigger finger on my dominant right middle finger. I researched a splint after my orthopedic surgeon suggested it before I could get in to see him. I sized a 3 pack graduated set with a paper ruler. The two larger ones work well. I could not bend my finger without a big click and moderate to severe pain. As a dentist this was a problem. I wore the splint one night and had much better mobility with much less pain the next morning. It is now 10 days and my pain is greatly reduced. I don't click. I can work without pain. I will need definitive treatment but the splint allowed me to function and work. Highly recommended.

what a good gadget

I purchased these for my mother's trigger finger. It works very well keeping the finger from bending so much that the tendons catch. She hardly knows it's there. Neither does anyone else because the beige color blends well with her skin

Splint works great on disjointed thumb.

I have fairly severe arthritis in my hands. Flexing works during the day, but one trigger finger always woke me at night. Using size 9 or 10 (depending on swelling) from the graduated set lets me sleep through the night. It has been a godsend.

I have had no pain since I have been wearing my finger brace. No surgery no shots. I take it off long enough to exercise knuckle. Put it back on. Thanks

I have a mallet finger injury and need the splint to place the joint in slight hyperextension. The Oval-8 splint doesn't do this.

OMA: Thank you for your feedback.  We're sorry to hear the Oval-8 wasn't the right solution for you. With mallet finger, the longer the joint remains in the bent position, the harder it will be to fix. It’s important to treat a Mallet Finger as soon as possible. Wearing Oval-8 Splints on the end joint of your finger closest to the fingernail holds the DIP joint straight for 4 to 6 weeks to allow the tendon to heal.  

So glad I went with the graduated set instead of just one size. My trigger thumb swells sometimes in so I need the different sizes. They work!

This is a clever, unobtrusive splint that is great for frequent Pandemic hand-washing.I ordered the graduated sizes 7,8,9. The 7 was too small for me, the 8 too large, even when reversed.My surgeon husband cut a piece from a silicone finger cot and sewed it around the end of the oval of the size 8 to make it so that it wouldn't slip off. Works fine. May be a bit pricey for some, but it works well.I wear it at night too, so as to prevent " triggering" which will retard healing..Definitely worth a try if you have this problem.

I had EDS and my fingers bend constantly, and when I don't brace them and use my hands a lot, there's a lot of pain. these help so much, and work well even when I'm doing chores, and I can wash my hands and they still work great. I've had to wait and save up for it, because they aren't cheap, but they are worth it.

I purchased the plastic Oval-8 Graduated Set. The largest fit my thumb perfectly. I still have to be careful using my hand but I don't feel handicapped any more. The price was great the only problem was it took nearly a month to arrive.

OMA;  Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear the Oval-8's are helping. We apologize if you experienced a delay in receiving your order. Due to the impact of COVID-19, many carriers shipping times are slightly longer than usual.

Can sleep since my trigger finger with swollen tendon has been painful. I googled for a solution and found the Oval 8 Finger Splints as the solution. I ordered the graduated set 10,11,12 since I was not sure of the right size. I been using the size 12 for a week now and swelling of my tendon has already subsided. I intend to keep this device on longer to make sure that my finger is fully healed.

This little gadget works. Hard to believe the price tho for such a small piece of plastic! Quick delivery. I would definitely recommend the graduated sizes. 6, 7, 8 was right on target. I use 7 and 8. Giving 4 stars, because the price is too high :)

I according to the sizing protocol, I was an 8, but I'm glad I got the graduated set because I ended up being a 9. I like how it keeps me from bending my thumb, but after a few days, I developed a painful hotspot (pre-blister) where it is tight.

OMA:  Thank you for your feedback. Oval-8's should fit snugly, but comfortably and should not cause redness or swelling. It may be the size you are wearing is too small? If your thumb is sore we 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 cushioning.

i was having trouble with my finger joints locking and ordered the oval 8 finger splints. one of the very best things about them is you can wash your hands without removing them. after using them for a few months, i found my fingers had gotten better and stopped using them. about a year later one of my tax clients came in and had some big bulky finger splints for her rheumatoid arthritis. i told her about my splints and when i got home i mailed her my old ones. she started using them about 3 years ago and still uses them. she just loves them and has bought more in different sizes since. recently i got the locked fingers back and ordered another graduated set. i didn't measure well enough and needed one for my middle finger for the first time so i need larger ones but have no problem buying more for the wonderful relief i received from them and the smaller ones will work for other fingers. not giving them away this time... unless i order new ones immediately.

Same product I was given at the hand surgeon’s office. Simple and ingenious and inexpensive! I needed multiple sizes since my fingers are swelling and have changed diameter.

I am so thankful that I found this product online. While working in our garden I injured one finger, creating a Mallet Finger. I visited the local CVS and purchased an Aluminum/Foam & Velcro Splint that was ridiculous to work with, as you didn't want to get it wet, etc. Then, very quickly (1 week or so) the Velcro became too weak to function as new and the Aluminum cut another finger! This product is absolutely the PERFECT SOLUTION, easy to remove (if necessary) and re-install, does not impact adjoining fingers, is so comfortable and is sincerely helping my finger to heal. Note that I ordered a 3-Size Package (6,7 & 8) since my ring finger is 8. The 7 worked perfectly. So far, this is an OUTSTANDING PRODUCT and cannot believe this is not being offered in the various Pharmacies.

I had my fingers carefully measured by an OT friend, then ordered the multiple size package plus one additional larger spint. This was a "first timer" order. Each of my finger joints needed a larger size! Otherwise the splints are serving me well. .

Bought the graduated package since not sure of my size. Fast shipping. These splints help stabilize my mallet index finger, & support a crooked finger. Sturdy and don't have to take off when washing hands (but I do). This splint stays on my fingers better than the expensive one an OT made for me. Just need to size splint to finger issue. Good to have some different sizes in case finger swells, or if need one for a larger finger.

So far I like these splints. I like that they are small and it is worn on the only finger that needs it.

My order arrived quickly & fit perfectly. Have only been using them for about 1 week so I have only seen slight improvement. But happy w/this purchase!

I love the finger splints, they are almost invisible but they work like champs. I hurt some knuckles on my right hand training horses and sometimes they ache, I slip on an Oval 8 splint and in a couple of days my knuckle is better.

Received splints expeditiously. However, I erroneously ordered the wrong graduated sizes. I was able to chat on line with Rep, determined correct sizing, and received within two days. Very impressed!! Noticed a considerable difference after wearing the splint on my thumb. Definitely worth trying.

Splint is perfect to stabilize my trigger thumb.

I have trigger finger on my middle finger of my right hand. This is wonderful. It doesn't interfere with my daily routines and it is such a relief to not worry about my finger triggering.

Very fast delivery of finger splints. I have used one every day on my swollen, painful finger. The splints definitely help with supporting my finger. Very pleased with this purchase.

The Oval-8 finger splints graduated sizes are just what I need for my trigger fingers to allow for swelling.

I have nothing but praise for my Oval-8 finger splints and this company! I needed help for a trigger finger and this is the solution. The website was informative and easy to use. I love the whole concept of the splints. They are small and comfortable and I still have dexterity. I hardly know that I’m wearing them. And the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more efficient. This has been a wonderful buying experience and I’m confident that the splints will work!

This Oval 8 Graduated set is perfect, it allows you to change ring sizes when your finger swells and when swelling goes down. I have lost 2 oval 8's because the swelling went down and ring slipped off my finger. By being able to change sizes is so convenient and saves me money.

These fit very well. I purchases two sets of graduated sizes and they fit very well. I am wearing them now as two of my fingers are hurting and going crooked. I wish I had seen this when my pointer finger was hurting and fusing.

I love this nice little low profile splint! I was having painful problems with my thumb locking and purchased the graduated set. It’s so nice and slim fitted that I don’t notice I’m wearing it, and now it not longer hurts me, yet I can still use my thumb. Highly recommend.

Best place to buy oval-8

So easy to use. I can wash my hands while wearing it, cook, do laundry, etc. Nearly full utilization of my hand while wearing this on my THUMB (trigger thumb). I did find that to get it comfortable, the sizing did not work for me. I ended up 2 sizes higher than the sizing guide suggested to be comfortable.

Product is great! Works as advertised, discretely keeps my trigger finger straightened. Price, measurement and delivery all went well. My only suggestion is to make the printing ON the splint larger, so it's easier to read size and positioning without glasses and a bright light!

OMA:  Thanks so much for the feedback!  We love hearing from our customers and appreciate your suggestion.

One of my fingers have been locking up. I needed something that offers good support but still flexible and waterproof. Your product has literally changed my life. I can keep my finger protected and still take a shower, do dishes and take care of the kids. Super fast shipping and quality product makes one happy consumer!

OMA: Thank you for your comments!  We are always happy to hear from our customers and are delighted that the Oval-8 has made such a positive difference in your life!

Highly suggest the graduated sizes, when my thumb was swollen, I wore the largest size & when swelling went down the next size down was perfect. Doesn't interfere with most activities & comfortable. Really helped to prevent my thumb from snapping.

I love my new oval 8 it fits my little finger perfectly. I am no longer losing it all the time.

I’ve tried a couple other things for my trigger thumb but these splints are by far the best!

I have a trigger finger issue on each hand and, based on the good OhMyArthritis reviews, decided to try the Oval 8 Graduated Finger Splints Set. I've been wearing on each of my sore fingers at night and decided to try on my sorer finger during the day. I'm actually wearing on my right hand now, so no interference while I'm typing, which is great. I know I can't avoid seeing a hand specialist for much longer, but until then, the Oval 8 set is really making things more bearable. The splints are comfortable, easy on and off, and they don't really get in the way. Most importantly, they do relieve the pain/discomfort. Thank you, OhMyArthritis for another great product!

OMA:  We are thrilled to hear the Oval-8's are helping to relieve your pain and discomfort!  Thanks for sharing your story!

I like the graduated set because I am not sure what size I need. Do you have anything that will ease the pain of the Oval-*8 on my thumb?

OMA: Thank you for your comment. If your thumb is sore we 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 cushioning.

Between all the aches & pains or Arthritic Hands including trigger finger, the highly recommended Oval 8 proved to be of great value with super pain relief.

Exactly what I wanted, I should have bought these months ago. I have trigger finger and they are perfect. Great service from "Ohmyarthiritis". I will order other items as needed.

Definitely immobilized the IP joint to prevent the thumb from snapping and hurting. Sizing a bit tricky, thought I measured as a size 6 but when 6,7,8 size package came, only size 8 fit over the joint. Would order again.

Seems to work well except for the swelling I have in the finger at times but since I have 3 sizes to select from this is not a major issue. Find plastic is a little rough in areas. Much better than anything I have seen before. I like the idea I can wash my hand easily, too - as Carol H, mentioned. Very versatile.

I work in healthcare. Before I got this amazing device I had trouble washing my hands, working with a computer, etc. this device is great for mallet finger. So glad I found it.

I am double jointed and my fingers have started locking up while playing piano and organ. I got the figure 8 graduated set and with one on each of my worst fingers I can play again! As soon as I put them in it was noticabkl how comfortable they are and I find myself just wearing them around.

Purchased for my thumb to support an overly mobile joint. Finding the correct size was easy, and the splint fits comfortably. I can wear it all day without irritation or discomfort.

Mom - who is 92 - says they help to straighten her fingers that makes it easier for her to grip things.

These splints showed me how much my thumbs are constantly getting stressed during daily tasks. Wearing them has reduced my pain significantly. I wear them with the bar on the underside, and the two loops going across back of thumb, protecting the joint. Wear 9, but need the 10 for when I've used my hands a lot (swelling). These are a game changer. I wear them cycling, at the gym, working with my horse, gardening, cooking, washing dishes, folding laundry.... Basically any tasks with my hands.

I'm 58 and I have had R.A. for more than 15yrs. My right fingers have already swayed outwards. My left fingers are just starting to. I started wearing the oval 8's and immediately they started straightening my fingers back out. I'm not sure how long they have been making these but I sure wish I knew about them along time ago.

Works well for my thumb trigger ailment.

This product is “ok” does not completely keep the finger extended.

OMA: We are sorry to hear that the Oval-8 did not work out for you. The design of the Oval-8 Finger Splint is based on an orthopedic principle that it takes three points of pressure to stabilize or support a joint. Using this principle, the Oval-8 effectively treats many finger problems and can be worn in different ways on your finger to treat different problems. The e-book "7 Common Finger Conditions Treated by the Oval-8"  provides great information on how to wear the Oval-8 for your particular condition. With that said, the Oval-8 is eligible for return and our customer service team will be happy to assist you.

Finger splints are all i dreamed. I am a hairdresser. My hands are in water and slippery hair products all day. I am able to handle clippers and scissors with comfort. Also sleep in it.

I have a trigger thumb. I ordered the set of 8, 9, 10. The 10 is about the perfect size, however, it only keeps my thumb from triggering if I wear it backwards, with the narrow band over the front of my thumb. If I follow the accompanying instructions re wear, my thumb triggers

OMA:  Oval-8 Finger Splints can be worn in different ways on your finger to treat different problems. The pictures above show the 6 different ways. You are actually wearing it correctly for trigger finger. (not backwards)  "To limit triggering, the narrow band should be worn on the top side of your finger or end knuckle and the oval(open side) on the palm side".  Please contact customer service at service@ohmyarthritis if we can help in any way.

My 15 yr old is hyper flexible. She did not think the splints would help her but as soon as she tried them on she realized the support they would give. She has a summer job bussing tables and without the splints her fingers would go in and out of joint. The first set I ordered was way off on sizing but I had no problem with the return.

I'd ordered the wrong size Oval 8 set and had to return it. Got my refund the same day they received the return, and the correct ones were here in just a couple of days. Have worn it this week and already notice a difference in my trigger finger.

OMA :  Thanks so much for the feedback!  Always great to hear from our customers about our awesome customer service team!

Hyper extended a ligament in my ring finger. Probably while golfing. My finger was swollen and it hurt for up to two weeks after playing. Went to a Hand Specialist (MD). He diagnosed the problem and sent mt to a Hand Physical Therapist to have a splint made. It worked but felt very bulky. Got on the internet and found OVAL-8. Asked the Therapist about them and he said he had good results with them. I ordered a graduated set based on measurements, found the correct size for me, and bought a 5 pack of size 9. They can be worn under a golf glove and I no longer have any swelling or pain! Golfing again!

So happy to find this Oval-8 splint. for my thumb. It is small, water proof and it works. Keeps my thumb from popping. I do keep more than one size for water retention changes in my fingers. Sometimes I cover it with 2 band aids when I am out. They make sure I do not loose it accidently and they also reinforce the splint to keep the thumb nice and straight.. I would be lost without this splint - just ordered an extra set to be sure I am never without it.

OMA: Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that the Oval-8 Finger Splint has helped your trigger thumb!

This is my second purchase of the size 6,7,8 graduating finger splints I have purchased in last couple month. I got them for arthritis in 2 fingers that are showing signs of disfigurement. They help support and protect, and I believe they help prevent further crookedness. I wear them day and night, but not to go out since they sometimes fall off.

Wow have four mallet fingers and a thumb on right hand after a severe stroke 21 mos ago. Put them on first thing in the morning for the day and mallet fingers gone!

Not only did I get one for the troubled finger, but 2 of the 3 fit so now i have support for the secondary finger!

I am being trained on a very grip intensive task at work and thought I would have to stop because my hyper mobile thumbs would be bending backwards all day and would be throbbing intensely for days after, but the braces prevent my thumbs from bending so I can continue working towards the certification for this task .(I'm only 1 cert from promotion) I measured size 9 but my thumbs were swollen so the 8 and 7 work well (one thumb is more slender)

purchased assorted size pack for use on thump. joint is popping. it stabilizes the finger so I hoping with time the tendons will heal. I feel product did what was advertised. have placed another order for assorted sizes for future use.

Measurements matched size 8. Size 9 fit better. Size 10 fits with gel tub under and more comfortable than just splint.

I took my chances and ordered one because it hurt to bend my finger at the first joint from my fingernail. I crochet and someone recommended this product. It comes in three sizes that can be flipped to handle six sizes. One fit perfectly. I was still able to use all my fingers. You can get it wet. You can hardly tell that I am wearing it because of the color. A bit pricey but worth it.

I fractured my middle finger at the joint near the tip in a recent fall. At the urgent care center they said this is a "mallet finger" injury and gave me a metal splint wrapped in an Ace bandage that extended from the tip of my finger to the edge of my palm. They told me I'd need to wear it at all times for 8 to 12 weeks, and referred me to a hand specialist for further evaluation. The splint almost completely deprived me of the use of my hand. Writing and typing were impossible, and washing was very difficult. I did a bit of online research and discovered the Oval 8 splint, which I was able to find at a surgical supply store. It's far less restrictive than the one I had been given. It allows you to move the next joint (the one closer to the knuckle) and since it's plastic it can be left on when washing. I'm now able to do almost everything with my injured hand. The hand specialist was unfamiliar with it but said it should provide enough immobilization for my injury to heal. He said the thimble-type splint he was prepared to give me might immobilize my hand even more but would be likely to cause skin irritation as well as make my life more difficult so he was fine with my using the Oval 8. Because the inflammation I developed after my injury is subsiding I've had to move down to a smaller size Oval 8 than I used initially, and may have to go to an even smaller size soon. So I recommend buying a few sizes, or even the entire 14-size assortment, for anyone in a similar situation. Bottom line, I think this is a terrific product.

I have a trigger thumb and used this to immobilize the joint. It was all I had hoped because it allowed me to work (nurse) comfortably, wash/dry my hands without difficulty and was not very visible. I have average size hands for a woman, but my thumb was swollen so I'm glad I initially purchased the graduated set because I needed a 10, not the 9 my thumb measured. I just placed another order of all size 10s because I don't want to be without one.

Bought for my wife's mallet finger injury prior to Dr appt with hand specialist. Dr wasn't too impressed and it doesn't want to stay on without tape. More i tried returning the other set we didn't use but not response from this company.

Oh My Arthritis strives to provide an excellent customer experience and your satisfaction is very important to us.  One of our team members will be reaching out shortly to help resolve your issue.

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 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.

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.

OMA: We are sorry to hear that you were not able to find the right fit for your finger. As fingers come in many different shapes and sizes, sometimes the Oval-8 may need to be adjusted by a healthcare professional trained in customizing splints to get an exact fit.

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.

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.

Most splints are big and unsightly. These are easy to use and hardly noticeable.Sizing chart is easy to use. Waterproof. Graduated sizes makes it easy to find what works for you.

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.
