Oval-8 Finger Splint Graduated Set - Sizes 8, 9, 10

I have Trigger Thumb on my RIGHT hand. My hands are small, but my fingers are short and stubby and tend to swell depending on the amount of salty foods I consume. As instructed, I measured around the joint of my thumb. My left thumb knuckle measured 2.5" around. I should have measured my RIGHT thumb, but I'm RIGHT handed and trying to do it with my left hand didn't work out and I had no one to help my out. Anyway, according to their chart, I should wear a size 9. I decided to order the 8,9,10 package "just in case". I'm glad I did. The size 8 was way too small. The size 9 was on the tight side, but wearable. The Size 10 was much better, but a tiny bit loose. What I intend to do is wear the tighter size 9 at night so it won't come off as easily and the size 10 during the day or when my thumb swell up.What I like about it is...…. My hands tend to be in and out of water all day long. A regular brace was a PIA taking it on and off each time I was by the kitchen sink, bathroom or laundry room. This is water proof is easy on and off when necessary. Washes up nicely..... use soap and water or even an hand sanitizer with no problem. Doesn't interfere with using my laptop or phone. MUCH LESS BULKY.For proper fitting onto your hand, LOOK FOR THE "+" SIGN on one of the ends of one of the loop and slip that end on FIRST. it's a little wider to enable it to slip over your knuckle. See instructions that come with it.I think it's priced a little steep for a few rings of hard plastic. but if it works......that's all I care about. Will post a follow up in a few weeks. I hope to avoid having to get another steroid injection into the base of my thumb.....not a fun procedure.

Finger splints can be a game-changer for those suffering from finger injuries or conditions such as arthritis. I recently purchased a set of finger splints and was pleasantly surprised by how effective they were in reducing pain and improving mobility. The splints were easy to apply and adjust, and the lightweight material made them comfortable to wear throughout the day. I also appreciated the different sizes included in the set, allowing me to find the perfect fit for each finger. Overall, I highly recommend finger splints to anyone looking for relief from finger pain or injuries. They are an affordable and non-invasive solution that can make a significant difference in everyday life.

I bought this for my trigger thumb. I like this - it works and it is small. I would love it to be sized between 9 and 10 as the size 10 is a little big and slips around, 9 is too small - also for my thumb it is a little long and digs into my lower thumb (might not happen if used on a finger). Aside from these inconveniences - I am grateful for it, need it, and it is far better than anything else.

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.

I developed trigger thumb and had a bit of pain. I started wearing a big brace that was awkward and bulky. I found mention of this product on a physical therapy site. I ordered and it is wonderful. The sizing chart is accurate. The brace is small and comfortable. I can sleep in the brace with no problem. Due to the size and design of the brace I can still use my thumb and I can wash my hands with it on. It will be so much easier to wear this brace for the recommended 6 to 8 weeks! The pain is pretty much resolved. I would recommend for anyone looking for a brace for trigger thumb.
