Re: Rhea - Silver Ring Splints- DIGIsplints for Canadians

[Guest guest]

Hi Barbara,

Thanks :-) Actually I already have tried silver ring splints. I

have one for my little finger. It was fitted for the middle joint,

but the joint by my finger tips are the most unstable so it wasn't

that great for me. And also I found the splints to be really

expensive :-X We paid $75 for a boutineer splint for my pinky, and

then an added $25 to get the little hole joining the boutineer splint

to be filled in so my skin wouldn't be pushed through. For me it

seems like my finger joints are always achey and tender so using a

finger to apply pressure even with the joint stabilized would not be

very comfortable at all. But thank you so much for sharing!!! And

just incidently for any Canadians reading, the Canadian manufacture

for silver ring splints is " Digi Splint " and any orthotist from the

arthritis society would be able to fit you for them.
