Abstract
A finger brace for use in the treatment of finger tendovaginitis includes a tape component formed in a band shape of prescribed length and width, an elastically deformable pad provided at a prescribed position along a longitudinal axis of the tape component, and an adhesive part provided on the tape component so as to join the two layers of the tape component to each other when the tape component is wrapped around a intended finger. Owing to a first guideline provided along the longitudinal axis of the tape component offset from the lateral midpoint of the tape component by a prescribed distance, the patient can wear the finger brace at the appropriate position on the affected part.
