I have to splint my left hand when I have RA flare. Doctor insists! I have one I bought at Walgreens - it is beige (other ones are blue or black) - but allows my fingers some movement while holding hand steady. Can look up name when I get home. I find it very comfortable to wear all day. The one I use at night is a full brace from doctor.

I bought my compression gloves at joanne's of all places when they were featuring such products for quilters. They are bright green and are great. They have just enough hold and support for the achy hands days.
