Sopito Finger Splint, 7PCS Finger Support Brace Stabilizer for Broken Straightening Arthritis Knuckle Immobilization

I tripped and hurt my pinky… I knew this would do the trick so I ordered it… It’s not the first time I’ve use this product but what I like is it comes in different sizes… Great to keep in the house for the unexpected. Highly recommend does what it’s intended to and does it well

Only bad thing is the Velcro but thats to be expected and its an easy fix. Stabilized and protected his finger till it healed. Price was great for a 3 pack definitely a good purchase

These are working very well. The plastic ones are much more ergonomic than the one my orthopedic surgeon gave me at the office. Comparing both size #4, these are slimmer and the plastic has a smooth finish so they don't scratch your finger at the second joint when flexing the finger. People are complaining about the velcro, I took the velcro off, it comes off very easily (including the little adhesive part that attaches to the plastic) and I'm using surgical tape to keep the splint on the finger as the doctor showed me. You have to split the surgical tape in half and use the two thin halves of the tape you split to secure where your nail is (By the way, when inserting the splint, the doctor lifted my finger by the fingernail using his fingernail to prevent my finger from bending, since I have mallet finger, I thought that was ingenious!) and the other half of the tape toward the second finger joint but keeping the joint free. According to the doctor you want to have that joint free to be able to flex. This is working wonderfully and the splint stays as long as I want.The aluminum one, I'm using whenever I have to take the plastic one off to wash. It's good but a bit bulkier. I also wouldn't sleep with the aluminum one on because it can just slip off your finger. The plastic one with surgical tape is much more secure and won't scratch your furniture if you forget you are wearing it, which does happen since they are very comfortable...I would wear the aluminum one when having to go to the doctor for an x-ray, for example, since it's much easier to take it off than taking the tapes off and putting them back on the plastic ones.The aluminum ones are almost perfect for short term use. I wish they were more ergonomic like the plastic ones though. If they could shave off one of the sides to accommodate the bending of the finger at the second joint they would be amazing (highlighted picture).

The beige plastic splints run small and the sharp edges cut into the skin on the top and near the nail, which is nasty on a tender injured finger. They also have a slight backwards curve, so not good for protecting a broken or sprained finger so it will heal straight.It does appear they would be good for protecting a cut on a thin lady's or men's pinky finger if was first wrapped with several layers of gauze to pad and protect it from the plastic splint itself.The metal splints are fairly standard, and good replacements for similar ones where the lightweight foam is getting too compressed or worn. They are also good to have on hand in a First Aid box, since sprained and cut fingers are common injuries and need immediate protection from mindless 'normal' activities to minimize pain or further injury.

Tried many. I put a thin gauze piece inside to absorb moisture,makes it comfy. I can bend mid knuckle and still use fingers. Yes as others said Velcro not so good, I agree. However, I just bought a roll of half inch velcro for cheap in anticipation of failure. Because after trying all those black velcro ones, this is way better. The black ones get wet. These do too but you can simply dry it off. I am in hopes it keeps my top knuckle from bending off to one side from arthritis.

I have a pinky healing from a roller skating fall injury, a compound fracture. The surgeon gave me a splint that was too large and didn’t support my finger’s healing well. It would slip and move around. What was the person who fitted me thinking??? Plus, I had to use tape to keep it in and that was not the best, it’d get wet and dirty and needed to be changed often. I found these splints and decided to give them a try. The small plastic one with Velcro closure has been perfect!! I am certain that it has helped my finger to heal as it should. It keeps my finger in a position that keeps the bones aligned in a natural position and keeps the top slightly lifted, the lift puts a light pressure that assists the bones and my nail and skin to grow back together in the best ways possible. I am so pleased!! I thought I would have a deformity, or the injury would be obvious in some way - the splint has prevented those things from happening. When I remove the splint to clean my finger, it looks like nothing happened! Crazy, since the entire top of my finger was severed off…. The splint has protected my finger while it has been healing as well. My finger was hit a couple times while healing, which could have reinjured it, but the splint absorbed the impact and the strong material worked like a shield. I only used one of the 8, but I sure am happy to have all of them in my first aid basket just in case!!! I might buy another set to keep in the first aid kit I have in my car. I will not stop skating and after this experience, I know that being prepared for anything is better than not being prepared!

Broke my ring finger at the top joint and wanted something I could wear while typing, driving, ect. at work.The metal braces feel lightweight but concerned about breaking at the bendable section; no issues so far.The plastic braces are the only reason I ordered and while using these experienced pinching of my skin at the top of the finger.I've used 2 layers of tape so it pinches the tape more than my skin but still very uncomfortable.
