DJO Finger Splint Padded Strip Aluminum/Foam Left or Right Hand Silver/Gray (#79-72165, Sold Per Piece)

I’ve tried so many finger “fixes”without success. Delighted to find this exactly as described: moldable padded aluminum. I used it to make a fingertip splint that (A) actually fit my finger, (B) customized the bend and angle so it braces my finger properly, and (C) can get wet without falling apart.

This padded splint is just what I needed. I have arthritis in my fingers and sometimes I have to put them in "time out" with a splint until the joint pain decreases. Unfortunately, all I had on hand were the unbendable metal ones, which made the pain even worse. My fingers often need to be in a slightly curved position to feel comfortable, which I can do now with this kind of splint. If you want something that absolutely won't bend, get the metal ones with the blue lining, but this works better if you need a little flexibility!

Worked in Orthopedics for 12 years so I've been getting some medical supplies for simple problems. Only had that splinter about 3 weeks before having to use a piece on Hubby's finger. 😆 🤣 He was impressed with my skills in how I formfitted the splint to be comfortable. Still have about 2/3 left. His Dr said she couldn't have done anything differently.

There is nothing wrong with the item itself, it just shouldn't be advertised as a finger splint. It's about the size of a hot dog, maybe even a bratwurst.

This was perfect to splint a broken finger, and it can be cut to size easily. Just put some medical tape around it so that the skin is protected and you are good to go!

I should have paid attention to the length of it. I didn't know u have to cut it to the size u need. And then u have to fix the part u cut so it's not sharp. After that they seem to do the job. Has a nice thick padding to it.

I used this for my broke finger. Easy to cut and use

Worked okay, thinner and less cushion that I was expecting
