Is this suitable for finger splints?

Yes. I cut a piece off and used it to protect a finger injury from bumping. Worked very well, glad I had it on hand, ha ha. Actually this is probably the most likely use for this item. Go to Sam splint YouTube videos to see other uses.

I would say "no" because it's too big and you cant really cut it down to whatever size you want. However in a pinch you could just splint the whole hand with this. That's what I would do in an emergency.

I will go for NO. It's too big, but in an emergency, one could cut a piece and use it as finger splint.

Could work on the whole hand, but would probably be too big for a finger. Could be used immediately , until able to get to medical help.

Not trying to be funny. But it can be used on anyone that has a pulse. The opening will fit all finger sizes.

Yes I think so. It's design is geared to be used by both hands and it can be adjusted higher as the hand becomes stronger. You can also individually adjust for each finger. My doctor had recommended it to me because he uses it for himself. Hope that gives you the info you need.

Yes, as long as you don't use a lot of pressure. If you do, there's no problem... just smooth over with your finger.

It would not work for the index, there is to much rubber material that it would be an uncomfortable fit between the index and the middle finger. It may even hold the index finger in an awkward position making it cramp. I would not try it for that finger.

I ordered size 1 because it was the smallest size for my pinky. Usually finger splints sizes are equivalent to your ring size.

I don't think so. I have not tried this but it is not that long, so I believe you need something else. This one is good for daily activities, allows your hand a good deal of flexibility. Futuro carries a brace specially designed for that, though. My step mom has one and she really likes it. Hope this helps.

I bought this specifically for relief of diabetic neuropathy for feet & legs, but found that in using my hands to rub it in, it actually relieved the pain I was experiencing in my finger joints. Hope this helps.

It depends. This is a small size, so it wouldn't be ideal for more than an oz or so. Also, this is the regular (not wide mouth) stye, so getting your fingers in could be a problem (assuming you actually are big, Jake). If those two factors are fine by you, then yeah. LOL

You should buy with your actual ring size on such finger that U are going to wear the splint. The splint comes with your actual ring size on one end and the other end with be 1/2 size bigger than your ring size so it will fit anyway. You can try both ends to see which end fits perfectly than the other in order for it to stay on your finger when U sleep.

Yes. When I wear snow gloves I feel X-Large just fit me but XX-Large (If I can find them) fit nicely. So now you know how to compare my hand to yours. The strap that is located by your fingers is uncomfortable until your hand gets used to it. I had my first splint for about a week and I just ordered a second for my other hand.

I have only used it for trigger fingers. I'm sure it will work, the idea is to keep it straight, right? Then this should do it for you. It will keep that area straight. Good Luck!!

You use the ring size for the finger needing the splint; it would have to be sized for fitting the knuckle.

It could be but I am not sure, as both my husband and I have osteoarthritis in our thumbs and fingers and wrists. Very helpful for that pain but it may be similar to that with carpal tunnel.

Yes you could. It doesn't impede use of your hand as there isn't much padding. It's comfortable to wear. But I don't know how long the material will hold up if you are using it with dumb bells, bench presses and the like. After 1 year mine has shown some wear with some stitching coming loose. But I have used it a lot. It is an awesome product. I have used it primarily for my wrist but have also wrapped it around my elbow to ice the elbow.

I would take a gamble on it and try it. I am AMAZED at this little gadget. I just bought two more , one for me to keep at the shop and one for my assistant. She is freaked out by how well it works for her too. I get pain in my fingers and numbness in my hand. It totally relieves it all. Try it!

It is a single splint in the package. I ordered seveal at once, but if you don't lose them, they last a long time. If they are fitted properly, you don't need (or want) tape on them. These are not splints to hold a finger rigid, they allow normal movement while preventing the joint from hyperextending.
