Tikaton Trigger Finger Splint, Adjustable Support, Finger Brace for Alleviating Finger Locking, Popping, Bending, Tendonitis, Stiffness, Pain Relief - Left or Right Hand

The media could not be loaded. Overall, it’s doing a great job of limiting motion at the MCP joint of my index finger. It’s not perfect, but once I adjusted it a bit more it is working and relatively comfortable.As other reviews mentioned, this isn’t the best or most stable splint, and can slip side to side a bit in your palm. that’s less of a problem if you are splinting the whole finger. I only wanted to splint the MCP joint, where my index finger connects to the palm of my hand, and that’s a bit less stable in terms of splint positioning.I found a few ways to stabilize this brace that aren’t obvious in the instructions or tiny diagrams:Hidden feature: the brand label peels up and has Velcro underneath. That secures the wrapped strap so it can’t slide around.It also works better if you curve the wider end of the splint around the base of the finger and place the narrow end in the palm. (That's the opposite of what I assumed.) It keeps the splint aligned and hugs my finger much better.I ordered this splint because it would arrive sooner and was inexpensive. I was getting so annoyed with kinesthesia tape (especially the sticky residue it leaves on the skin), buddy taping my fingers, and the difficulty in washing my hands without re-taping! the removable splint is much easier, especially once you get it adjusted right. It just takes a little more patience.

I sprained my middle finger really, really bad and I needed some support. It worked and it's presence was a constant reminder to take it easy on that hand - my dominant hand. I only needed it for a few weeks and that's a good thing because the Velcro started to lose its grip by the end.

I find this to be helpful. The pain has subsided some. I just can't do anything while wearing it. Makes sense because I need to rest the hand while wearing the brace.

Uncomfortable, itchy around velcro wrap

This brace didn’t stay on for the night. I found it in my bed under the pillow. The strap is too stretchy to keep it secure. Good idea though.

I have suffered with trigger fingers for decades. I have had 3 surgeries which worked. Multiple steroid injections (max is 2/digit) About half the injections worked. I decided to try a brace or nonsurgical, non medical approach for the first time, before getting the 2nd shot in that finger This was one of a couple of types my hand surgeon recommended to temporize. This was first one I tried. It works by keeping your finger unlocked while you sleep. Expect about an hour of typical (un)locking finger pain in the morning after removing the splint as you get your finger movement back to normal. I like it because you only wear it while you sleep and it is very comfortable. I used it as I had to wear a different type of finger splint on the opposite hand for a mallet finger and didn’t want to have a finger on each hand out of commission at the same time. After the mallet finger was stabilized, I got the second steroid injection which works far better than the splint. If that finger starts relocking, then I’ll let the hand surgeon cut on it.

Works without band across hand.

The construction of this is odd. The bottom that your finger rests on is too wide for the finger. Your other fingers almost need to rest on the base which makes it very uncomfortable to wear. It’s unfortunate because it’s made well other than that.
