Thinvik 2x Plastic Mallet DIP Finger Support Brace Splint Joint Protection Injury - Size3 Knuckle 53-55mm

The Thinvik 2x Plastic Mallet DIP Finger Support Brace Splint offers joint protection and is specifically designed for mallet finger injuries. It keeps the finger in place and helps with the healing process. The brace has a unique design and comes with a velcro strap to secure it in place. However, some customers have mentioned that the velcro strap is not strong enough and does not hold the brace securely on the finger. They have instead used medical tape or durable cloth tape for a more secure fit. The splint is made in China. The sizing of the splint is important for a proper fit. Customers have mentioned that the product image provides a guide for measuring the finger and selecting the correct size. It is recommended to measure the circumference of the first finger joint to determine the appropriate size. The available sizes range from 1.5 to 2.56 inches in circumference. The splint is suitable for everyday activities, including washing hands and showering. However, it is important to avoid bending the finger joint too much to prevent undoing any healing progress. While some customers have found the Thinvik Finger Support Brace effective in keeping the finger straight and aiding in healing, others have experienced swelling and discomfort due to the design of the splint, particularly where the pieces meet. It is advisable to be mindful of individual body reactions and adjust or seek alternative options if necessary. Overall, the Thinvik 2x Plastic Mallet DIP Finger Support Brace Splint provides joint protection and aids in healing mallet finger injuries. It may not be suitable for everyone due to potential comfort issues, but it has received positive feedback on its ability to keep the finger straight and provide a secure attachment.
