Thinvik [2 Pieces Plastic Mallet Dip Finger Support Brace Splint Joint Protection Injury -Size0 Knuckle 38-42mm

Perfect for my Mallet finger. Been two weeks and they still work fine and are comfortable and easy to wear. I switch them out when the velcro strap gets wet because it feels weird. NOTE: I ordered medium which would have worked fine on smaller fingers, but I need a large. I dipped it in boiling water for a sec and gave it a little stretch. Fits great

Buy the medium or large assortment so you can find your exact size. Then stick it your size. These work well! My trigger finger is well on the mend..

This is a great little splint for mallet finger. If you are new to this injury, please take the time to read this and you won't have to learn the hard way or make unnecessary trips to the doctor. The price, for what you get (2 splints per package), is affordable and reasonable. I recommend buying 2 packages so that you can switch them out when they get wet. I am a very active person: working in the kitchen, typing, and a lot of other activities that require my fingers. Plus, I'm left-handed and this injury is on my left hand. This splint does much better with detailed work, like typing, than others. However, I've found some things that make it work much better. The velcro strap is not totally trustworthy on its own, especially after wearing it for weeks or if it gets wet. It is only attached to the splint on one side (the right side), so as you go through the day and it gets wet or just doesn't stay tight as it did when it was new, the strap slips toward the tip of the finger and the hold loosens, allowing the finger to bend some. This is NOT good as it will delay or prevent healing. I've found my finger had been bending for undetermined amounts of time because of this and was quite alarmed. Since this kind of injury requires the finger to remain straight 24/7 for 8-12 weeks, you have to find a solution that makes this possible. Since I don't have the luxury of sitting around for 3 months doing nothing, finding a solution is mandatory. After wearing these 6 1/2 weeks and struggling with this (it's healed some but still has a long way to go), I decided to put a bead of hot glue on the right side (and the left for good measure) to better hold it in place. I actually put a second bead of glue atop the first layer so that it is above the strap and will prevent slippage. The second important thing, which I did in the first couple weeks and learned from another review, was I lined the splint with moleskin on the flaps that rest on top of the finger. That little finger joint is super tender, and the hard plastic directly on it can feel very uncomfortable, so adding a strip of moleskin is a very kind thing to do for your precious finger. Third, you can buy these little finger covers (and yes they look like miniature condoms!) and roll them over the splint to further keep it in place and prevent it from getting wet in the shower or washing dishes. It's not completely foolproof, but helps tremendously. Far too many times, I had the splint slip off in the shower, when drying hands or hair, reaching into my purse to get something, or at night when I'm sleeping. I let out an aaahhhhgghh each time as it terrifies me that I'll now have to start my 8-12 weeks over every freaking time my finger bends. The finger condom not only keeps the splint safer and dryer and prevents it from getting stained but provides me much-needed peace of mind. I can once again practice safe dishwashing and showering! Far fewer nasty surprises! The finger covers come in small, medium, and large. Since my injury is on my ring finger (and I have fairly small hands), size small is good for better protection from water, but is too tight to wear overnight. Size medium provides good protection for washing hands as needed throughout the day and peace of mind at night. I've attached pictures of one of my well-used splints with modifications. I'm hoping the four I have will last through the healing process. If not, the cost is low enough to buy another package. The manufacturer, however, would be wise to look at my modifications and modify this product as described. I'd gladly pay more to not have had to do all this myself. This is the most bizarre injury and it would have been nice to know all these things from the beginning and have a product that doesn't require customer modification. I'm sure I'd be farther along in my healing process if I'd made these modifications when I first started wearing the splint. It gets 4 stars because I can type almost as fast with it on as normal, it allows me to bend my second knuckle (which you don't appreciate until you can't bend it with certain splints), and it is light weight. 3 stars for comfort before I added the moleskin. If you have mallet finger, I greatly empathize with you and wish you a speedy recovery!

Did not really fit either of my problem fingers. It was too narrow in the swollen area and caused more swelling

little background. I severed my fingernail, half way down my middle finger. The nail was sewn back on so the nail bed could heal. My job requires me to keep any wound covered. I went every where looking for something that would allow the finger to be covered and allow some dexterity. Found this and ordered the multi pack. Ended up using the largest one for the finger, since it was fractured and had stitches I needed sturdy coverage. The top is open and with the large one on I was able to protect my finger. I placed a small bandaid over the top to protect from dust. Six weeks later, the nail has grown out and I am able to work unhindered. This is a great brace for fingertips, just order a size bigger than you think you need, the extra large gave my finger, which was swolled, the chance to sit comfortably. i would recommend this product.

These splints are not effective to immobilize a finger. They fit properly at the tip of my finger, but do not tighten or stay on. Any finger movement at all causes them to fall off.

I ordered these because I needed the middle sized one. The big one was too big. Unfortunately I went for a walk and the middle size slipped right off my f in Niger and was listening to forever.

I tore my pinky ligament and went to see about 4 doctors because my finger tip was drooping and would not go back up after having a tub of yogurt fall on my finger. They took x-rays and I was told i had Mallet finger. They sent me to a physical therapist office to cast my finger. I was told not to buy a splint that they were going to put a professional cast/splint on my finger. The lady took a piece of plastic board cut it warmed it up to slightly melt to fit my finger then put tape on it. It didn’t look professionally done at all, it did not fit my finger properly and it look like my 6 year old granddaughter could have made it for me and it was very uncomfortable. With that said i left it on for 4 weeks and it felt like my finger was getting worst. I had no pain with the initial accident but weeks later i was feeling alot of pain, i finally went online did some research and found this little finger splint and immediately putting it on I was in complete comfort. It came in 3 sizes but one of them fit my finger so perfectly as if it was made for me. I have really thin fingers, i wear a size 4 on my ring finger which is pretty small so my pinky is probably a 2 or 3Its my first time wearing it but so far so good thank you i love it. The doctors were a waste of time and money!! Their in the business of making money not healing. Im pretty sure they did a crummy job so that i can come back for physical therapy.Urgent care had me go to the hospital for X-rays ,then they had me go to another doctor to look at the x-rays, then they had another doctor put the crummy splint i wasn’t sure why one doctor couldn’t do everything in one facility i was billed 4 $40 copays completely ridiculous never again. Lesson learned
