Can I use this product for mallet finger on a pinky?
what is the best mallet finger splint for work thank you
Hello. The sizing pdf not found. Can you please help
My thumb triggerred last month due to arthritis and injury pulling a suitcase from overhead bin of an airplane. You said to wear for 4-6 weeks doing the three exercises, which I have been doing for three weeks. My thumb is stiff, as I assume it should be. When do I try to bend it again? It is the joint closest to the nail that was triggering.
How do you heat treat the Oval 8 to keep the finger in hyper extension to treat mallet finger?
Just ordered these! Got a mallet finger playing basketball 3 days ago, essentially no pain after it happened aside from minor pain from swelling. When ive jammed a finger in the past, it typically happens around the base of my finger, but that’s essentially the same level of pain I’ve got now. I’ve tried using an aluminum one the last couple days but don’t like what it’s doing to my skin. Hoping to have a bit more normalcy in these, if only a little. Thank you so much for these videos
What is the DIP thing supposed to help with?
The pdf link doesn't seem to be working anymore...might there be another link you could share with us? I have to order online and they have no guide. thanks
Try this one- www.3pointproducts.com/hs-fs/hub/30688/file-25672588-pdf/docs/oval8_sizing_guide_final_web.pdf
Did not find link to print for the template? You would think the product would offer that with the oval eight. Liked your video. The manufacturer should be as thorough to offer the customer a template. Any suggestions? Thanks 😊
Here is their guide from the Oval 8 website- chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/www.3pointproducts.com/hs-fs/hub/30688/file-25672588-pdf/docs/oval8_sizing_guide_final_web.pdf

@@VirtualHandCare thanks for your help
Are the finger splints and the thumb splints, the same splints?
Yes they are 👍
I thought it was in sixteenths of an inch which I guess is equivalent to a centemeter
If you pause the video at 4:26 you will see the chart is inches and then centimeters in parentheses.
Can you please send printout directions to my e-mail? Thank you, sg
Sweet heart. Just use a string, mark it, then spread it out on a tape measure, no template no scissor cutting, Done deal. Or white tape, go around knuckle, mark, spread out n measure. EZY breezy
Yes you can do it that way however I have had several people do that. But they pull the string too tight and then the ring they order is too tight.
@@VirtualHandCare Ok ya that could be a thing for sure. LOL us bachelors dont have scissors in paper.. Thanks!! lol
