Oval-8 Finger Splints, Support and Protection for Arthritis, Trigger Finger or Thumb, and Other Finger Conditions, 3-Pack, Size 7

Helps for trigger finger. Great value

Very effective product. Get the right size. Otherwise tape it to secure it to your finger.

These work very well to keep my trigger finger straight and thus from locking up. You can get them wet, wear them day and/or night, and they are not very noticeable. They are lightweight and comfortable. I got a set of three sequential sizes so I could determine the best size and fit. I then ordered additional of the best size so I had extras.

I didn’t need a brace that covered my thumb down to my wrist and discovered these devices to brace my thumb from snapping when bending.Make sure you purchase the right size for your finger! I purchased Size 8 first, but when my thumb swelled while wearing it, I also purchased size 9. With the weather fluctuating from hot and humid to cool and dry in air conditioning, the two sizes became essential.Yes, they stabilized the finger and were light weight and hard plastic. You have to figure out how to use your thumb so the smooth plastic doesn’t get in the way.Not expensive as other products, but other cloth/brace short splints offer more support. Still, I switch off when using, depending on what I’m doing. And, I switch sizes.You don’t need the full thumb brace unless you have been given a medical recommendation, but this works great for trigger thumb.

I wear these on my thumbs, since I have trigger thumb in both hands, I like that I can wear them under gloves, and I don't have to take them off when I wash my hands or swim. The downside is that they are pricey, and because they are small, they are easily lost. It would be nice if they came in different colors.

They came in a clear bag with no label of any kind. No instructions or information not brand name.The plastic is harder (more brittle, less flex), with edges and outside surface that are not as smooth. If you have not experienced the original (copyrighted, BTW) Oval 8 splints, you might not notice—the differences are subtle. And they will probably work just as well. But the Oval 8 company should be on the phone to their attorney.

My husband has a hyperextension of his little finger. PT recommended this brand and they fit fine. A bit pricey for 3 small pieces of plastic.

These have really been helpful for my two trigger fingers. The sizes are pretty close to ring sizes, so if you have a ring of known size that just clears the knuckle, you can use that for starters. If you are one of the people whose fingers expand and contract due to fluid retention, amount of physical activity, or influence of mysterious ethers, you may need more than one size. I have four, from 10 to 13. Note that you can put them on in either direction, forward and backward, and get a half-size difference that way.These are not intended as finger supports for manual labor. I can't imagine someone breaking one, because if you try to make a fist it will definitely fight back. This can actually damage the knuckle, especially if you put the top band right on top of the knuckle, which I discourage (don't know what the manufacturer says). It works best with the top band behind the trigger knuckle, but can also be slipped in front, and it will help stabilize the joint.I use these when typing and using a pen. Typing is unaffected, but when writing I sometimes have to slip it off. Because this is easy, it's really not a problem. Your particular pen grip will probably make a difference.
