Oval-8 Finger Splints

"I tried everything else on an older lady who couldn't tolerate the metal rings or anything I made her. She has very thin skin from years of Prednisone use. She found the Oval-8 rings to be very comfortable and loves the way they control her fingers. For the amount of time I spent trying to fit her with other things I could have bought the whole Oval-8 Kit and still saved money."

"We really love the ring splints. We are using them for collateral instability and for fractures. For patients with acute avulsion fractures we give them two, one that fits now and one that will fit when their swelling goes down. They are inexpensive enough that we can do that. Our patients are really happy with them."

"The Oval-8 rings are great. We are even using them to hold finger positions during ex-ray." Gloria

"I tell people - these [splints] are the difference between Neiman Marcus and K-Mart. They feel like Neiman Marcus but the prices are closer to K-Mart".

"Recently I celebrated my 50th birthday and a friend told me to "get ready for aches and pains" because after 50 her body fell apart. As a hand therapist I have taught patients with arthritis to protect their joints when they were swollen and inflamed by wearing splints. It seemed like overnight after my birthday when the tips of my finger joints (DIP jts) started to swell and ache. I know several people with Heberden's nodes also affectionately referred to as "knobby fingers" by their owners. Well, I was in a panic I didn't want to be deformed with knobby bunions on my fingertips. I routinely apply figure 8 splints to fingertips with arthritis and tendon injuries. So I applied the figure 8 splints to my inflamed fingers. I wore the splints constantly for a week and then at night for another week. Now I wear them only when my joints ache. The swelling disappeared and has not returned. In the future I plan to educate patients to use the splints for prevention of deformity. Thank you Julie for providing this excellent splint for all of us."

3pp Buddy Loop

As an occupational therapist and the international sales associate for 3-Point Products, I never thought I would become a patient and use one of our top selling products. While walking my 2 labs, I sustained a hand injury which necessitated surgery and hand therapy. The Buddy Loop provided the protection, comfort and convenience that I needed. I can't recommend this product enough!

"I think your Buddy Loops are total genius!"

3pp ThumSling

The day I got my ThumSling, I put it on immediately. I had a constant pain from arthritis, and it became tolerable and almost pain free. WOW. I will get more of these!!

3pp ThumSling™ & 3pp Ultra Spica

"I have been using the ThumSling and Ultra Spica for four weeks and can't believe the difference they have made in my life. I can do things that I haven't been able to do for a long time; such as picking up my coffee cup without dropping it or writing without pain. I wear the ThumSling everyday to work and find it very comfortable and easy to work with. When I am less active, I wear the Ultra Spica. These braces have done a wonderful job of reducing my inflammation and pain in my thumb and wrist.

I would recommend these products to anyone who has OA or any other condition that interferes with their quality of life due to pain and inflammation. They are wonderful!!"

SkinSational Massager

"I have found your SkinSational product to be very beneficial for my patients with post-operative edema. I usually have them begin a manual edema mobilization program utilizing u-shaped strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system to decrease their edema. One of the challenges to this is teaching patients how to correctly perform the strokes so they are not pressing too hard and collapsing the lymphatic vessels or so they are not just flatly rubbing over the skin and never really stimulating the lymphangions or vessels. With your SkinSational tool, the patient almost can't do it wrong, The rubber grips the skin nicely to help stimulate the lymphangions and also makes it difficult to push too hard and collapse the vessels. Maybe it's the novelty of getting something new, but the patients also seem to like the idea that they have a special tool for the job. It really motivates them to stick with the program and of course, that really helps them have positive results in a short amount of time."

"I have had 6 reconstructive surgeries following a mastectomy. The scars were really thick and hard to massage with my arthritic fingers. A friend told me about the SkinSational and I bought it with the gel sheeting and lotion. This little brush is amazing. In just a week, my scar got soft and stopping thickening up when I wasn't massaging it. This thing really worked and with the Gel Mate, my scar looks better now than it has in 7 years. I really recommend the kit as it has everything you need to treat surgery scars."

"I tried this on my face (with water and soap) and it also works for giving me a fresh "glow" and for removing blackheads over time."

Scar Rx

"Great stuff for making scars go away. My hand therapist recommended this after I had hand surgery. The brush really softened my scars and the gel sheets were easy to wear and made my hand more comfortable. Great combination with the lotion and oil. A hint - the lotion bottle is hard to squeeze so I just emptied the bottle into another container to keep in my purse."

Gel Mate

"I have had multiple surgeries to reconstruct my breast after a mastectomy. Using gel sheeting really has helped keeo the scars soft. The best part is that it keeps the scar from itching and when I wear it under a bra it cushions the scar so it does not hurt. I have used other sheets in the past but this one has a smooth cover that keeps it from sticking to my clothes. The last gel I used only lasted about a week before it fell apart. I have used this sheet for 4 weeks and just wash it to keep it sticky. I would really recommend this to anyone with breast scars."

3pp Toe Loops

"My daughter-in-law gave me some toe loops she received from your company when she noticed I had a problem with my 4th toe turning under.I had surgery for hammer toes months prior and was given a toe splint by the attending physician. This particular toe split was worn over two toes and provided a support for the fourth toe to keep it straight. Needless to say, it was costly, cumbersom, and required a lot of upkeep since it was under my foot. Do to frequent wear and tear from exercising, walking, and golfing, the pad became very worn all too frequently from perspiration. They also require more room in your shoe. I also found that the straps around the toe came loose very frequently and I had to adjust them all the time. Thank goodness for the "Toe Loops". They are light, comfortable, wash easily, and wear well. They work extremely well for my needs. They come in various sizes depending on your needs. I even feel comfortable wearing them with sandals or open-to-shoes. The new color is skin tone which blends better than the white for this purpose. I am prolonging any future surgery on this toe because the "Toe Loops" have solved my problem."
