Finger Splints, 7pcs Thumb Splints Bandages for Broken Fingers Straightening Arthritis Knuckle Immobilization for Adults and Children, 7 Different Sizes

Great product, worked well

I needed a cast for a trigger finger condition developed only recently.So I was cluelessabout what to use,I bought many different options .This is well made but I found it too big and " clattering" .It seems more suitable if one has an injury,maybe a broken finger .But ,the lining is soft and the all object seems has good materials.

I was told by Dr I had mallet finger on my little finger after a small injury and required a splint but they didn’t have them in surgery. I didn’t want to waste A&E’s time plus was going away the same day. Boots didn’t have any (right size) so found these and had them delivered to the hotel I was staying in the next day, I liked that they had the 2 different styles to choose from in multiple sizes, which is why I paid that little bit extra. I wanted to use the plastic one as not so bulky but the smallest one dug into the top of the finger where I had a sore lump, so this made it sting. I tried the next size up, but because it was a little bigger, I worried it wasn’t going to give the support I needed to straighten it, plus the hard plastic was still a little uncomfortable on the edges. I opted for the smallest metal one which although a bit bulky, is much more comfortable due the foam inside. If the Velcro starts to give as others have said, I’ll just use surgical tape. Have given 4 stars just because the hardness of the plastic ones. Didn’t suit me but may suit others if they fit.

Too small for me. Even the large ones. Is lot of sprains, staved fingers get swollen. They don’t fit, the sponge one was a bit better but slides off too easily.

I managed to get my fingers caught up in my dogs lead when she lunged to get to my daughter...Having worked in a fracture clinic as a nurse for 10 years I knew I had done something to my middle finger by the way it swelled up & bruised. I figured I'd strained the ligaments & so didn't go to A&E & just buddy strapped it to my ring finger, but I soon realised that it was my DIP joint {Distal {furthest away} InterPhalangeal joint {joint in between the bones of the finger}} I had damaged & that buddy strapping wasn't going to help it because that doesn't actually provide any support to the DIP joint... The pictures with the arrows point to areas of tenderness. So I knew I needed a mallet splint to rest my DIP joint & allow it to heal ~ I also spoke to an orthopaedic consultant friend & he looked at my finger & reckons that the tendon has pulled off a piece of bone {see picture of the lump on my finger ~ this is where the piece of bone has been pulled off & bony healing is taking place}. I will need to immobilise my DIP joint for 4 weeks to allow it to heal.The good thing about a splint like this for an injury to the distal part of your finger is that it keeps that section of finger immobilised but allows you to keep the rest of your finger moving ~ which prevents stiffness in unaffected joints & helps you shift swelling by being able to exercise the rest of the finger.I ordered this set as it would come next day, was a good price & offered 4 sizes. The sizes are a 1 {smallest}, 2, 4 & 5 ~ I actually think a size 3 would be ideal for my middle finger but a 4 is ok while it's still quite swollen.What I don't like about these are the velcro straps that they come with as I do not feel they hold them onto the finger securely enough, so I removed all of it. I tape twice round one section that is above the PIP joint {Proximal {closest} InterPhalangeal joint {joint in between the bones of the finger}} to allow that joint to still bend ~ see picture ~ making sure the tape is not to tight ~ zinc oxide is the best tape to use as there is no stretch to it.Note: I've seen a couple of videos that show taping that goes right over the PIP joint & right up to the bottom of the opening of the splint ~ for the injury I have this is unnecessary & would cause more issues with circulation, swelling & interfering with the movement of the PIP joint. If you also need your PIP joint immobilised then a full finger splint, such as the metal ones provided here, or similar, is what you need.Overall this splint does exactly what it is supposed to do x

Wore one of the plastic splints on damaged finger - did the job but after just one day the velcro strip no longer effective and keeps coming undone, so useless

It helped a lot to protect my (ligament + tendon) injured fingers. Great splint. However, I could not use throughout the day because my fingers had swelling that incresed from time to time. Great that it arrived in mulriple sizes.

Really helps strengthen fingers
