Gabriel,

I know nothing about your splints, but I had a pair of custom splints made
of a kind of plastic that comes in sheet form. It was cut to size and then
dipped in boiling water for fifteen or twenty seconds and then, after it had
cooled slightly, it was molded around my hand. As it cooled, it got harder
and harder, until it was completely cool and rigid. At that point it
resmbled a very comfortable cast. The pair are small enough that they do
not interfere with finger movement. They provide excellent thumb support and
I have had great success with them. I hope this is of some help to you.

Nancy
