Oval-8 Finger Splints

The Oval-8 finger splint is one of the most trusted tools for treating a range of finger conditions — trigger finger, swan neck and boutonniere deformities, mallet finger, arthritis, and hyperextended or lax joints. Its distinctive double-loop design gently guides the finger into proper alignment while still allowing the tip to move, so patients can keep using their hands throughout the day. That balance of correction and function is exactly why hand therapists reach for it.

Made from lightweight, durable plastic, these splints are low-profile enough to wear discreetly and comfortable enough for extended use, including overnight. They can be worn on any finger and are reversible for the left or right hand, which makes them practical for both clinicians building a fitting kit and individuals managing a specific joint at home.

Sizing is the question most buyers ask, and it matters: Oval-8 splints run in numbered sizes (roughly 3 through 15), and a correct fit should feel snug without pinching or restricting circulation. Because finger size varies from joint to joint — and can change with swelling throughout the day — many therapists recommend measuring with a sizing set before committing to a quantity. We carry individual sizes such as Size 3, Size 11, and Size 13 so you can match the exact joint you're treating rather than guessing.

For situations where two fingers simply need to be supported together, we also stock 3pp Buddy Loops — soft, wraparound hook-and-loop finger wraps that offer a gentler alternative for buddy-taping and minor sprains.
