Are the Oval-8® CLEAR Splints the same as the BEIGE Splints?
The New Oval-8® Clear Finger Splints provide the same easy-to-wear, comfortable support and features as the classic beige Oval-8 Splints.
Both the Classic Beige splints and the new Clear splints are made in the same molds, but they are made from different materials.
- Beige splints are 100% Polypropylene and Clear splints are made from Copolyester.
- There may be minor variations in sizing, but adjustments can be made to assure a proper fit.
- The Clear splints are more resistant to bending and it is best to avoid repeatedly stressing the splints.
When Would an Oval-8® Finger Splint be Used?
The Oval-8® finger splint can be used for 7 conditions:

- Boutonniere
- Trigger Finger
- Trigger Thumb
- Swan Neck / Hypermobility

Can I change how an Oval-8® Finger Splint Fits?
