I had a finger splint but its kind of broken. I hurt my finger at work and went to the doctor and they told me to keep the splint on untill my nail falls off. (I slammed my finger in a door) My finger is not broken. It will fall off but they told me to keep a splint on it that will help from not bumping it on things because it hurts when i put pressure on it. So what is this splint called?

Also, there is brown tape that sticks to itself and not to your skin. What is that called?


And where can I get this stuff?
