Oval-8 Finger Splints, Support and Protection for Arthritis, Trigger Finger or Thumb, and Other Finger Conditions, 3-Pack, Size 5

My thumb is finally getting better wearing this brace for most of the day as it allows me to do most tasks, despite my thumb not being able to bend.

Great Product and the fit is right on so make sure you measure.

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.

It is comfortable and prevents finger from bending while healing from a trigger finger.

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.

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.

I purchased another brace before this one that is a wrap-type. I no longer wear that because even though it did the job of immobilizing my thumb, it did not allow my skin to breathe. Since the injury is on my dominant hand, I still use it a lot. I had to wash the other brace every 2-3 days of use. The open design of this brace allows my skin to breathe and it immobilizes the thumb. Having multiple braces included in the packaging ensures I have a brace available when I am cleaning a used one. The measuring guide helped me determine a perfect fit for my thumb. Pleased with this product.

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.

Very poor quality, if you don’t like it you need to pay for return. Very poor customer service.
