Sizing Guidelines for Oval-8 Splints

How To Size With A Jewelers Ring Sizer
While we do recommend being properly sized by a health care provider or medical supply specialist using an Oval-8 sizing set, in a pinch, Oval-8 sizes can be estimated using a jeweler’s ring gauge.
Oval-8 splint sizes are close to, but not a perfect match for, jewelry ring sizes. The difference between the full circle of a jeweler’s gauge compared to the half circle design of the Oval-8 band, can mean the difference of a half or full size.
Instruct the jeweler to fit the ring gauge around the joint where the Oval-8 splint will be worn. Do not fit the gauge where you wear a ring as this is likely to result in an incorrect size. As each Oval-8 splints fits both a size and a size and a half, if the ring size is an 8 and a half, the Oval-8 size 8 would be the proper one to choose.
