Orficast Easy-Form Splinting Material Heat-Activated Thermoplastic Tape For Trigger Finger, Thumb, Arthritis Pain Relief, Hand Support 1” x 9’, Blue, One Roll

Worked exactly as described, was able to easily make a custom-sized finger cast

My PT was impressed I found this online, I couldn't get in to get a brace for an injury for weeks and I kept making it worse. I found this, made my own cast (you can even reheat it and hone your design) and it worked amazingly well! It hardens like a cast, but since there's no cotton inside you can get it wet. It takes a while to dry, but it still helped me a ton (I just made two braces so I could wash and air dry them in turns).

I'm an Occupational Therapist. This was the first time I had seen this and used it. I ordered it to make a splint/guard for my husband's finger to help protect him from hitting/bumping it after he had to have it surgically pinned for 6 weeks. This can be heated with a heat gun, molded, and cooled. It can be re-heated to make adjustments. You do need to make sure layers melt together and cool completely for curing/hardening to become fully effective. More layers makes it thicker and sturdier; however, you do NOT need more the 1-2 overlapping layers to make it harden and sturdy...just heat, hold/mild, and cool so that the fibers within the product melt together.

I wrapped it myself after receiving a botched cast from an OT. I used a candy thermometer to get the water to 165 degrees to get the Orficast material ready for application. The best part is that I the material is waterproof since I have to wash my hands a lot. Highly recommend!

My husband suffered a stroke this past year and developed spasticity in his left hand. His ring and little fingers would not stretch out and would remain in a claw-like posture and wouldn't move. I did some research regarding this problem and discovered Orficast tape on a popular video site. You know the one. While I don't endorse giving out medical advice, nor am I a certified health care provider or P.T., I can say in my husband's circumstance, his fingers work much better since applying this casting material. It's pretty easy to do if you have a helper like me doing it. We left the cast on for approximately 10 days with his fingers in as straight a position as possible. When we cut the cast free after that time, his fingers were pretty straight - not perfect - and after some exercise, he was able to open and close all the fingers on his hand. He can now squeeze a tennis ball with his entire hand, completely hold on to his walker handle and now can use that hand to grasp and open bottles. It has helped him tremendously and we're thinking of taking it the next step which is to cast all four fingers to straighten them out even more. Like I said, I am not a doctor or a therapist, just a caring wife who wishes to help. If you think you may want to try this therapy on your own, I suggest you consult your own physician and at the very least, do some research on the internet for more information pertaining to your own unique circumstance.

had to wear a splint to keep my pinky curved in place due to a flexor tendon injury, and this definitely does the trick. also allows much more mobility due to its smaller size etc. can heat with a heat gun if you don’t want to wet the material. much recommended!

I used it to allow my finger to heal after the sprain. The great thing about it it shapes itself into whatever you need it to be.

I'm trying to straighten a finger that was damaged in a fall. The joint splintered & my Physical Therapist used this, and straightened a tiny bit, but I waited too long. Search for boutonniere joint & you will find that one really needs to start straightening the joint ASAP, but I didn't know that & didn't go to a doctor because we were asked to stay away while the medical establishment attended to the first wave of of Covid-19 patients. However, I'm trying to keep it a bit straighter and I used it from time to time for that purpose.
