3-Point Products Oval-8 Finger Splint Graduated Set - Sizes 8, 9, 10

Great for my finger

Nice

Using it for trigger thumb. Different sizes are useful. At night I change it out for one of the larger sizes.

This little splint is a vast improvement over a cumbersome thumb/wrist wrap I was using to stabilize a jammed thumb that kept bending backwards. It is lightweight and visually blends into my hand. I love that I don't have to remove it when getting my hand wet. I followed the web site's video demonstrating how to measure my joint and found that one of the splints in the set fits my finger perfectly.

THEY WORK VERY WELL BUT I AGREE THAT THEY ARE OVERPRICED AND THE COMPANY IS MAKING HUGE PROFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF A PERSONS NEED TO HAVE PROPER USE OF THEIR FINGERS

After researching trigger thumb issues for about a week, I came across a great YouTube video with advice to heal a trigger thumb (or finger) without the cortisone shot or surgery. It takes 6 weeks and I'm about halfway there. It's truly working. Every time you pop the thumb or finger, it becomes a little worse, so don't let it pop! I wear a full on brace at night and I wear this Oval-8 splint during the day. I remove it periodically and bend the thumb around at the joints using my opposite hand. For some reason, if the good hand moves the injured thumb, it won't pop. The idea is to keep it loose. Also there are exercises you can do to keep the muscles in the injured hand good. You can find those online. Just don't let the thumb pop. As for this Oval 8 guard, it's the best! I love that I can get it wet, but the thumb never pops. Showering and working in the kitchen had been a challenge since wearing a brace there was impossible. I do turn the Oval-8 slightly numerous times throughout the day, just to make sure I don't wear a callous or blister. That's no big deal. Also, the package with 3 sizes has been great. There have been times when my thumb felt a bit swollen and having the next size up was convenient. I almost feel like I could use my thumb, but the video warned against being tempted to test it out. Popping it can set back your progress. I don't plan to try it out til the 6 week mark. By the way, in case anyone is interesting, the name of the video I watched is - Trigger Thumb Tips + Tricks: Home Exercises, Splinting, and Massage. She specifically mentions this Oval 8 splint, which is how I came to try it out. She also explains the stretches much better than I did.
