  Contact your occupational therapist wrist splints are free from them but they can also make personal custom made splints to help with what you need x

  Hi Marnie, you shouldn't be buying splints, though I understand why. You can get these from your OT (occupational therapist) if you haven't had a referral to one yet then ask when you see the consultant next week.
  They will help you with lots of things like hand splints.
  They made me special splints for nighttime too, stops your hands and fingers from deformity, or curling as you so nicely put it.
  Write it down so you don't forget next week, or I can remind you!!
  
  Take care

  nite all too. Marnie so sad you had to buy them. anyway as mand says get them and the night time ones from occupational therapy.. re night time ones. they are made/ moulded to fit you and mine has a nice soft lining.. they are made by the ot,, well mine were. they are rigid construction with pink soft flece lining . with straps across wrist and fingers.
  they or rather mine is moulded closely to wrist to give cradiling support and the fingers and thumb are in relaxed slightly bent resting postion rather than stretched out
