Sopito Finger Splint, 7 Pack Finger Brace for Knuckle Immobilization

I have a pinky healing from a roller skating fall injury, a compound fracture. The surgeon gave me a splint that was too large and didn’t support my finger’s healing well. It would slip and move around. What was the person who fitted me thinking??? Plus, I had to use tape to keep it in and that was not the best, it’d get wet and dirty and needed to be changed often. I found these splints and decided to give them a try. The small plastic one with Velcro closure has been perfect!! I am certain that it has helped my finger to heal as it should. It keeps my finger in a position that keeps the bones aligned in a natural position and keeps the top slightly lifted, the lift puts a light pressure that assists the bones and my nail and skin to grow back together in the best ways possible. I am so pleased!! I thought I would have a deformity, or the injury would be obvious in some way - the splint has prevented those things from happening. When I remove the splint to clean my finger, it looks like nothing happened! Crazy, since the entire top of my finger was severed off…. The splint has protected my finger while it has been healing as well. My finger was hit a couple times while healing, which could have reinjured it, but the splint absorbed the impact and the strong material worked like a shield. I only used one of the 8, but I sure am happy to have all of them in my first aid basket just in case!!! I might buy another set to keep in the first aid kit I have in my car. I will not stop skating and after this experience, I know that being prepared for anything is better than not being prepared!

OK, you bashed a finger, or maybe a thumb. You need some sort of protection to prevent banging it even more as it heals. Well, which finger did you smash? This set gives you alternatives, from plastic splints for your pinkie, to larger metal splints to fin your thumb. Just slip on a splint of the right size, and sleep like a baby. Slip it off easily when needed. This Sopito set should be part of your first aid kit, and the price is reasonable.

I had broke the tip of my finger. These work but Velcro is weak and makes it a pain to keep splint on. Needs better Velcro or something else to keep splint on. I have to tape them on.

The beige plastic splints run small and the sharp edges cut into the skin on the top and near the nail, which is nasty on a tender injured finger. They also have a slight backwards curve, so not good for protecting a broken or sprained finger so it will heal straight. It does appear they would be good for protecting a cut on a thin lady's or men's pinky finger if was first wrapped with several layers of gauze to pad and protect it from the plastic splint itself. The metal splints are fairly standard, and good replacements for similar ones where the lightweight foam is getting too compressed or worn. They are also good to have on hand in a First Aid box, since sprained and cut fingers are common injuries and need immediate protection from mindless 'normal' activities to minimize pain or further injury.

OMG! I have been dealing with an extremely painful split onmy thumb at the corner of the top of the nail. I've been wrapping it up with everything under the sink yet nothing protected the fingertip so during daily chores it was constantly getting bumped. Plus being so wrapped out it wasn't getting any air which prevents healing. These came today & the plastic protector with the open nail bed area is just what I needed! Now I can leave it unwrapped! I never had such a bad split like this one but healing was prevented by a 2 day marathon of wrapping/taping/boxing glass items during a move. You never realize how much you use your thumbs until you get what you think is a simple cut or split on a thumb tip! Wish I'd had one of these protectors during that packing extravaganza! Nothing can bump it now.

Honestly I didn’t expect much from these. The ones they give at urgent care are ATROCIOUS. These are not only far more supportive but also quite comfortable. I tore the tendon in my pinky and it has kept it flat and incapable of moving. I use the plastic one when I shower. Both are great!

Cheap, don't work right. None of them were usable.

The Natural Skin colored one works perfect for my middle finger. There are four, one for each size finger. Only one of the four fit my middle finger yet keeps it in great position. The plastic part I will be able to use over and over with new Velcro once the provided, glued on piece wears out. The metal ones are for maybe a broken finger. I have the Mallet Finger tip bent down and this plastic one works great

Permet de pouvoir avoir tout ce qu’il faut sous la main sans avoir à retourner en pharmacie ou autre pour avoir la bonnne taille . Idéal pour toute la famille ou pour mes sportif de petit gars . Pour ceux en métal à voir à terme à force d’ecarter pour y mettre un doigt mais fait parfaitement le job surtout vu le prix

Insgesamt gut. Nur eine negative Anmerkung: Die Klettverschlüsse leiern etwas schnell aus und schließen dann nicht mehr richtig.

Molto più economiche rispetto a quelle che si possono troin farmacia o nei negozi specializzati. Mio figlio ha sostituito la stecca messa in ospedale con questa, molto meno fastidiosa e ugualmente utile per il riscaldamento della falange fratturata. Inoltre si può igienizzare e togliere per consentire a chi ha necessità di lavarsi senza problemi. Utile anche nel periodo post stecca, in cui comunque va osservata una certa attenzione e prudenza per non creare danni .utilizzate durante lo sport e a scuola.

I managed to get my fingers caught up in my dogs lead when she lunged to get to my daughter... Having worked in a fracture clinic as a nurse for 10 years I knew I had done something to my middle finger by the way it swelled up & bruised. I figured I'd strained the ligaments & so didn't go to A&E & just buddy strapped it to my ring finger, but I soon realised that it was my DIP joint {Distal {furthest away} InterPhalangeal joint {joint in between the bones of the finger}} I had damaged & that buddy strapping wasn't going to help it because that doesn't actually provide any support to the DIP joint... The pictures with the arrows point to areas of tenderness. So I knew I needed a mallet splint to rest my DIP joint & allow it to heal ~ I also spoke to an orthopaedic consultant friend & he looked at my finger & reckons that the tendon has pulled off a piece of bone {see picture of the lump on my finger ~ this is where the piece of bone has been pulled off & bony healing is taking place}. I will need to immobilise my DIP joint for 4 weeks to allow it to heal. The good thing about a splint like this for an injury to the distal part of your finger is that it keeps that section of finger immobilised but allows you to keep the rest of your finger moving ~ which prevents stiffness in unaffected joints & helps you shift swelling by being able to exercise the rest of the finger. I ordered this set as it would come next day, was a good price & offered 4 sizes. The sizes are a 1 {smallest}, 2, 4 & 5 ~ I actually think a size 3 would be ideal for my middle finger but a 4 is ok while it's still quite swollen. What I don't like about these are the velcro straps that they come with as I do not feel they hold them onto the finger securely enough, so I removed all of it. I tape twice round one section that is above the PIP joint {Proximal {closest} InterPhalangeal joint {joint in between the bones of the finger}} to allow that joint to still bend ~ see picture ~ making sure the tape is not to tight ~ zinc oxide is the best tape to use as there is no stretch to it. Note: I've seen a couple of videos that show taping that goes right over the PIP joint & right up to the bottom of the opening of the splint ~ for the injury I have this is unnecessary & would cause more issues with circulation, swelling & interfering with the movement of the PIP joint. If you also need your PIP joint immobilised then a full finger splint, such as the metal ones provided here, or similar, is what you need. Overall this splint does exactly what it is supposed to do x
