Buddy Tape Finger Straps 10 Pack, Hook and Loop Buddy Straps for Finger Support for Arthritis Injury Swollen or Broken, Used for for Pinky Ring Middle Index Fingers, Washable and Reusable

Exact same used at doctor’s office. Pricey but they were needed. Work perfectly and stretch for those with bigger fingers.

I have had a dry and cracked pinky finger for over 6 months. I've been using the Gel Finger Cots off and on for the last couple of months and these seem to work to protect the finger and allow it to heal. I cut the bottom part off of the Cot so it didn't cover the knuckle, so I can easily bend the finger with it on. I can type with it on and it helps to reduce the pain. I put hand lotion on the finger and then slip the Finger Cot on. I can wash my hands with it on (and it keeps the finger dry). When I put lotion on my finger, the Cot does have a tendency to slip off when I'm doing stuff with my hands, but that doesn't bother me at all. This particular size works well with my little finger, but it is too small for my thumb, and I don't think this size would work for my index finger, either. It does stretch; I just don't think it would stretch enough for the other fingers. And, once they get a little dirty on the outside, I haven't been able to clean them, so I just replace them. Glad I tried this product and will be ordering another package.

Helped me play a whole 26 game season and win a state championship through a broken finger.

I pulled the tendon in my index finger, and my doctor told me to get these. However, after a couple uses, they start to wear down and don't work anymore.

These finger protectors are helping my fingers to heal. I had been using finger cots on my cracked, rough, and thoroughly dry fingers (the result of tire dust at work), but when searching on Amazon for more cots to buy, these protectors popped up as a suggestion. I read the description, and they seemed like a great alternative, so I gave them a try. Very happy I did! They are EASY to put on and take off, WAY more comfortable than cots (no cutting off circulation), durable, and easy to keep clean. I spend my day doing clerical work, and I don't find that these get in the way of my productivity at all, not even when typing. Come in handy when leafing through a stack of papers too! I also like the way that they help the moisture level of the skin underneath them, which combined with applying hand cream first is really helping to heal my very badly damaged fingers. Durability is fantastic. I take them on and off several times a day, and there is no degradation whatsoever. Great product! Highly recommend!

Works quite well in providing support for injured finger

Velcro does not stay secure

I keep trying these kinds of things because my one thumb has a tendency to crack from crochet. Unfortunately these didn't work out. They are too thick to comfortably work in, and they get very hot after a while. I wish I could find a thin, form fitting alternative that stayed put and let me feel my work through it, but I don't think that such a thing exists.
