1) What keeps the splint from coming off when you do not want it to?

The splints fit snug to your finger. When playing sports, apply athletic tape to the base of the splint and this will help keep it from falling off your injured finger. If the splint feels too tight, try sliding it off and on slightly. This action will also help to massage the skin.

2) It looks like you can slide the splint on and off. How do you get them on your damaged finger without bending the finger or damaging the healing? Are there instructions?

The splints come with directions. After a week to ten days, your finger will look straight when you change splints however, it will not be completely healed. When you change splints, the first few days, your finger will look bent however over time the finger will become straight. After several weeks your will not be able to bend your finger because of using the splint. It is important to keep a splint on the finger 24 hours a day for at least 6 to 8 weeks if not longer or until your doctor believes the finger is OK.

3) I like the idea of being able to wear one in the shower, pool, etc... When you get out of a wet place and replace it with a dry splint, can you reuse the wet one once it dries out? What is the typical dry time?

When the splint gets wet, you simply slide it off intact, set the splint aside to dry, and slide a dry one on. After several hours, the wet splint will dry and you can use it again.

4) My injury is on my pinkie finger, are there a different size depending on which finger is hurt?

The splints come one size fits all. However, the splints can be fitted for specific sizes by request.

5) My finger is now healed after 8 weeks, I need to figure out how to get rid of the discomfort from tightness. Can't seem to fold that finger down tight enough to make an A minor without discomfort from tightness. Really feels like the discomfort is back at the 1st knuckle. Similar issue with string bends, some discomfort, but more a lack of strength. If it hurts, I stop and go back to my stress ball.... Any suggestions would be appreciated...

The tendon on your injured finger is shorter than normal and needs to stretch. Try this: carefully and not too many times in the beginning, (first 3 or 4 days) place your hand flat on your lap and slowly bend and roll your hand into a fist in these four steps:

1. Bend and roll first joint (mallet injured joint) and pause
2. Continue bending to second joint and pause
3. Continue bending to fist and pause
4. Slowly roll back flat and repeat 4 times

As you do this apply a "little" more pressure. You eventually want your injured finger to respond equally with your other fingers. At first, your injured finger will not want to bend all the way and so do not make it do so, but in a few weeks, it will slowly return to normal. It will hurt when you do it correctly but you do not want to do it to hard at first or the tendon will bust again and you will have to start all over again.
