Dr. Clarke's Original Wishbone Finger Splints - Size 9, 10, 11 - 3 Pack - Finger Splint, Thumb Splint, Trigger Finger Splint For Thumb, Middle, Pinky or Ring Finger - Finger Hand Brace for Arthritis,

I sprained my thumb doing a backbend like I used to do when I was 12... but it's been a minute. I'm 52. Enough said. Well, after suffering with homemade splints for a couple weeks, I broke down and purchased some immobilizing types to really protect it (and keep me from being an overachiever and re-injuring). The thumb was healing well and yet there was no way to take a shower, do dishes, etc, with ease because of the cloth or foam on other braces/splints getting wet... and then I found this! It has been a game-changer for the last leg of my healing journey. I, like others, used a larger to fit over a smaller one for extra support to start, and then "graduated" down to one. I like that it has three different sizes to adjust to the changes in swelling of my thumb. I even turned it slightly sideways to allow for typing or using a pen while still keeping my thumb from bending. It also worked both on or below my knuckle, so if it did get in the way or rub funny when wearing two, I could easily shift them around and were still effective. I found them comfortable enough although the sore thumb isn't truly comfy until totally healed. Anyway, very simple but good design and VERY VERSATILE. Sooo glad I purchased.

I ruptured the ligament on my right ring finger, and urgent care and the hand specialist (two different doctor visits) gave me a terrible "splint" to wear for 8 weeks. The thing barely lasted 8 hours. Thankfully, I found these and it saved the day. Just a couple of observations from the last 3 weeks: If you get the correct size (they fit pretty tight), and your hand/finger stay dry, these stay on great. They are made of a stiff plastic material, and don't interfere with daily tasks (I type a lot for work, and have no problems typing, but the doctor's splint I originally got prevented me from typing). And even if it gets SLIGHTLY wet during the day, it can be taken off to dry, then it goes right back on. BUT, if you wash your hands, do dishes, take a shower, ect..., anything that gets your hand/finger seriously wet, they will slip off, especially using soap, it becomes super slippery. So, if you are going to get these splints, MAKE SURE you order finger cots to put over your finger and the wishbone splint to keep it in place. My first shower had me getting out mid-way to scrounge up a cot to put on. With a cot, the finger stays dry and the splint stays in place. You can see in the picture, the splint is in place, with a cot over the top. Works GREAT! These are well worth the money.

had a hammer finger, this was good to support it

Very sturdy.. to firmly hold your dip joint. Once you have found the perfect size. There are many. You will be happily surprised at the perfect fit and support. I also bought the clothe, stretching mini leg warmer finger sleeves to cover up the disgusting drab skin tone that matches noones skin but a Ken doll or carry Gi Joe doll. Lol other than that. These are awesome im as big guy so i needed a number 9 for my first finger dip joint. You can sleeve over this is tape over, or Glover over very easily. It will allow some flexibility if you need to bend that finger.. but for the most part it's 70% solid hold and side support for tendonitis ifc the dip joint. Don't give up.. find the right size and you'll be happy.

Returned. It seems like a nice idea, but would not stay on.

First off, I don’t usually review products – but I was intrigued by the design - and ordered a set of these finger splints – Size 13, 14, 15 - based on the sizing chart. The package I received was marked "13" - but included one each of Size 12, 13, 14 - not 13, 14, 15 – so the packages are off one size. I'm glad the "12" was included - since the 13 and 14 were too big. I like the design - it immobilizes my "trigger thumb" nicely - but it slips off occasionally. I tried wearing the 12 with the band on top - and adding the 13 with the band on the bottom. The two seemed to work nicely together. The 13 was large enough to go over the 12 - but after a while my thumb would swell and they got tight. I know the sizing of these things is tricky – so when I mentioned to the seller (Alan) that I planned to order a pack with an 11 - to have a variety of sizes to use depending on the swelling of my thumb – he said that the factory sizes actually run 1 size down due to a misunderstanding that they are trying to clear up – and offered to send me a 10, 11, 12 set at no additional cost. The second order I received - Size 10, 11, 12 - was actually Size 9, 10, 11. I thought the 11 would fit - but the 10 fits much better. I also thought that it would be nice to be able to order a pack of three Size 10 - in case I lose the one that fits – but the 10 gets tight sometimes – and having multiple sizes handy lets me switch to a more comfortable one throughout the day. Would I recommend these? – YES!! They DO stand behind their sizing guarantee!!

It worked!! Helpful.

I gave these finger splints a four star rating because mine slips and slides when it gets wet, whether I'm washing my hands or from sweating. I'm not sure how people swim with them! I would lose mine for sure! And if I leave it on too long, my finger turns a little white under the plastic. Other than that, the splint is comfortable, and as long as it stays dry, it stays right in place. I had injured my finger badly, and after being in a big splint for three months, I wanted something small and less intrusive. I wanted to continue to support my finger, and this little guy is doing the job! I appreciated the sizing guide and the return policy, so I could get the right size. All in all, it's a good product!
