The Oval-8 is the finger splint that doesn't need tape. A seamless band of moulded plastic slips over the joint and holds it in position — for trigger finger, mallet finger, swan-neck and boutonnière deformities, hypermobility, arthritis and fracture protection. Worn seven different ways depending on the condition, it is so light most people forget it's there.
Why therapists specify it
- Stays in place without straps or tape; you can wash your hands, swim and work in water without removing it.
- Open design keeps the skin dry; broad, flat bands spread pressure so it can be worn full time.
- Slips on and off in seconds when it's only needed for certain tasks.
Getting the size right
Fit is everything with an Oval-8, and a healthcare provider will get the best result. To size at home: with a flexible tape, measure the circumference around the joint you're treating and match it to the table below. If the measurement falls between sizes, order both adjacent sizes — a snug fit in the morning can be loose by evening, and many wearers keep two.
