OrfitOrficast Easy-Form Splinting Material Heat-Activated Thermoplastic Tape For Trigger Finger, Thumb, Arthritis Pain Relief, Hand Support 1” x 9’, Blue, One Roll

My husband suffered a stroke this past year and developed spasticity in his left hand. His ring and little fingers would not stretch out and would remain in a claw-like posture and wouldn't move. I did some research regarding this problem and discovered Orficast tape on a popular video site. You know the one. While I don't endorse giving out medical advice, nor am I a certified health care provider or P.T., I can say in my husband's circumstance, his fingers work much better since applying this casting material. It's pretty easy to do if you have a helper like me doing it. We left the cast on for approximately 10 days with his fingers in as straight a position as possible. When we cut the cast free after that time, his fingers were pretty straight - not perfect - and after some exercise, he was able to open and close all the fingers on his hand. He can now squeeze a tennis ball with his entire hand, completely hold on to his walker handle and now can use that hand to grasp and open bottles. It has helped him tremendously and we're thinking of taking it the next step which is to cast all four fingers to straighten them out even more. Like I said, I am not a doctor or a therapist, just a caring wife who wishes to help. If you think you may want to try this therapy on your own, I suggest you consult your own physician and at the very least, do some research on the internet for more information pertaining to your own unique circumstance.

Item was just as described and arrived very timely

I'm trying to straighten a finger that was damaged in a fall. The joint splintered & my Physical Therapist used this, and straightened a tiny bit, but I waited too long. Search for boutonniere joint & you will find that one really needs to start straightening the joint ASAP, but I didn't know that & didn't go to a doctor because we were asked to stay away while the medical establishment attended to the first wave of of Covid-19 patients. However, I'm trying to keep it a bit straighter and I used it from time to time for that purpose.

Very easy to dispense and utilize.

Saved a bunch of time and money making a cast for my finger at home, this was better material than the white quickcast.

Does not work, don’t waste your money

Was looking for exactly something like this rather than spend hours at the Doctor's and money for unnecessary visits. In the end they would suggest a cast. This is very convenient. It was not necessarily very easy to use. But the end product is exactly what I needed.
