Adjustable EDS Ring Splint Size Equivalents
To choose the correct size for your EDS ring splint, use a standard ring sizer (or use Method #2 above) and measure around your knuckle. The fit should be snug but not tight.
If you already have EDS rings, use the chart below as a guide to find the approximate EDS ring splint size.

How to adjust your splint ring
Artist disclaimer: This ring splint is wearable art, not a medical device, and is not a replacement for professionally prescribed medical splints or care.
With three points of refined adjustments to accommodate the changing needs of your hands, this swan neck splint ring is for everyone whether or not you live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).
Adjusting the outer rings
Changing the angle of the outermost rings will loosen or tighten the fit of the splint.
How to make the splint fit looser / tighter
To loosen the fit, evenly push the outermost ring inward.
To tighten the fit, evenly pull the outermost ring outward. If needed, you can also slightly expand or compress the outer rings themselves to refine the fit.
If needed, you can also slightly expand or compress the outer rings themselves to refine the fit.
Always apply slow, even pressure. Avoid aggressively forcing the metal. Gradual adjustments will help preserve both the fit and the integrity of your splint.
Adjusting the center (width & circumference)
Changing the center section alters the overall width and circumference of the splint.
Note: If you’ve already adjusted the outer rings, you may need to refine them again after this step.
How to increase or decrease the circumference of the splint
Wrap a ring mandrel (or other tapered tool) with a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
To increase size: gently slide the splint down the mandrel and check the fit in between each gradual adjustment.
To decrease size: place the splint on the mandrel at a slightly smaller section and carefully press the sides inward.
Always apply slow, even pressure. Avoid aggressively forcing the metal. Gradual adjustments will help preserve both the fit and the integrity of your splint.
