Product Description
The cutting edge SaeboGlove helps clients suffering from neurological and orthopedic injuries incorporate their hand functionally in therapy and at home. The proprietary tension system extends the clients fingers and thumb following grasping. The lightweight, low-profile functional design is just one of the many innovative features that are offered with the SaeboGlove.
Features:
- Spiral forearm design that secures the wrist in a functional position.
- Tensioners are located at the IP joints (interphalangeal joint) of the fingers and thumb to assist with extending the digits following grasping.
- Individual Tensioners can be removed to customize assistance based on the client’s needs.
- Numerous-sized Tensioners included to accommodate various finger lengths.
- Full joint finger motion possible to maximize functional performance.
- Silicone-covered finger tips to improve traction during grasping.
- Non-slip liner to minimize migration.
- Glove includes Lycra material for expandability.
- Palm exposed to increase breathability and ease of donning.
- Lightweight and comfortable.
Indications:
- The SaeboGlove is designed for both individuals that have experienced a neurological injury such as stroke as well as orthopedic injuries such as radial nerve palsy.
- Clients that demonstrate arm and hand weakness (wrist drop/unable to open hand) and are unable to use their hand to perform everyday tasks are great candidates for this device.
- The onset of the injury does not prevent someone from receiving Saebo treatment. Whether the client just had a stroke or orthopedic injury, or if he or she suffered an injury years ago, the SaeboGlove can be of great benefit.
- A licensed therapist will evaluate the client to make sure he or she meets the criteria before starting.
- In order to qualify for the SaeboGlove, clients must be able to close or squeeze their hand minimally. In addition, clients must have minimal to no tightness or spasticity in the fingers or wrist.
Contraindications:
Clients that may not be appropriate for the SaeboGlove typically exhibit one or more of the below:
- Severe joint deformities in the hand or elbow.
- Significant arthritis.
- Mild-moderate tightness/spasticity or greater in the hand or elbow.
- Moderate or severe swelling in the hand.
- Open wounds.
- Unable to follow basic commands.

I was hesitant to try the SaeboGlove because, over the years, I have spent so much money on devices that I thought would be helpful for my situation but then have turned out to be just a waste of money.
Definitely not the case with the SaeboGlove.
From the moment I put on the SaeboGlove, I could feel muscle sensations in my left arm and hand that I hadn’t felt in almost 50 years!
The design of this spiral wrist splint positioned my hand and arm in an anatomically correct position. Once I got the liner properly attached to the very strong hook and loop velcro located inside of the splint, my fingers instantly became aligned exactly where they’re supposed to be.
After attaching the tension bands, my fingers began to feel incredibly alive!
Now, I can grasp things like never before. I’m excited about the progress that I’ve experienced in just my first couple of weeks of using this amazing device.
Saebo has a great support team and they offer an online chat for any questions you want to ask them about their products. Kristen was extremely helpful and answered all the questions I had before I placed my order.
After I received my SaeboGlove, I needed to exchange the original liner for a larger size. Kristen got that to me very quickly; she also sent a prepaid postage label in order to return the liner that did fit, but I felt was just a little too snug.
There’s a 30-day, money back guarantee, where you can get a full refund if for any reason it doesn’t work out for you.
I’m very happy with my SaeboGlove. So far, it has proven to work very well for my situation. Every time I put it on, I can feel it working to improve my situation! The SaeboGlove is well constructed and I highly recommend that you give it a try!

The glove is very good for people who have had Strokes such as me my only problem is is not design for everyone’s hand my little bit off for it to work as good as it should I give it 4 stars

We sent the glove back. By the time we received the glove my husband’s hand started working again. But I could see how it would help someone who could not open there hand.

I found this company through youtube i ordered the saebo glove the black and blue one the customer service lady who helped me order it was very friendly and helpful she shipped it out quickly and it got to me in less time than expected. I had my therapist help me put it on because the bands need to be ajusted to each persons strengh level and it worked just like they showed in the video!!

I needed something to keep my fingers in an extended position as my hand was becoming more and more “crippled’ looking. The functionality had already departed. This seemed to be the only thing available to do that. The people in the home office were very helpful and were readily available to answer my questions. This will just enable me to have my fingers extended for a number of hours in the day which will be more comfortable for me. It’s a shame my grandchildren are so grown up as they would have been impressed when little that I had a “Darth Vader” hand!! Thank you, Saebo.

You can tell a lot of engineering design and research has gone into the making of this glove it took forever to get the glove on my affected hand but customer service sorted that out quickly for me

I am using a saebo flex but have a glove as well. The company is efficient. and product well Manutactured.I had to return a glove liner for size exchange. I guess the real question is Do they work?In stroke, there are no miracle cures, but theses products do help. Their free trial periods are very worthwhile.I recommend them. After two products, I want to try a third. I have recommended they think about a reduced price for frequent customers.

Unfortunately, the glove was not useable for me. My fingers are clenched too tightly for the strongest tensioner to open them, and when forcing them open with my other hand, I did not have the strength to close them back. After trying for several weeks of trying, I am now returning the glove. Thank you for allowing me to try.
Rex –
This glove is amazing however it is not suitable for all things. It is a great exercise and training tool. I have one but some things are easier without the glove than with the glove. Again great for exercising the hand and fingers as well as some everyday tasks.
Dean –
My therapist tried the Saebo glove on me once and it actually worked. I am looking forward to using it again and thinking of purchasing one for myself. I’ll guess I’ll see how well it does.
Adrena H. –
I purchased the Saebo glove, but I’m not sure it works well for me. My fingers still slightly curl tight and I can’t slide the glove all the way on because of that. I got the right size. I can close my hand and squeeze it into a fist, but I can’t open it to a point where my fingers can extend or as if I’m releasing something.
Lupe –
I liked the saebo glove its not as bulky. But you have to be able to put your fingers in a glove. The best thing about saebo products is they have different levels so they are geared to be your level
Amy –
I received the glove last Friday. When I put the Glove on, I wanted to extend my whole arm and I wanted to use the palm of my hand more. I was more motivated to use my thumb and index finger to pick things up. I want to continue to use the Saeboglove and have more improvement in my hand movement!
Jan –
So awesome! We bought the Saebo glove for my husband recently. I hope and pray he gets some function back on left arm and hand.
Dorothee –
My clients love the SaeboGlove. The feedback I receive and the results are phenomenal. The glove is lightweight and the rubber fingertips enable my clients to grip objects more easily. The SaeboGlove allows people the freedom of feeling what it’s like to open and close their hands again – all by themselves, without my assistance or the use of electrical stimulation.
Chris W. –
With the glove I’m able to pick up small objects, blocks, pencils, etc. and manipulate and stack other peg objects on a board. These tasks were either difficult or impossible without the SaeboGlove…I am grateful for this and hoping that I will continue to see improvements as my brain retrains. Thank you Saebo.
Jim –
We tried the glove but found it too complicated requiring too many bands of varying elasticity. Decided to send it back.
Linda –
Over the years I have used the Saebo-Flex, Stretch and most recently the Glove. My OT developed home programs and I ended up buying all three products. I feel it was totally worth it because I have made such progress. The more dedicated and consistent I was using them the better the results. Always record measurable goals to see your improvement.

I tried the saebo glove for the trial period it was a lot more practical to wear all day. hard to put on without help. Lots of rubberbands. But i was able to wear it all day. I can now open and close my hand with little help.

I started useing saebo 6 months after my stroke and used it for almost 2 years. It helped not only my grip and arm movement it also helped my hand swelling so I only had to use my glove at night. It was hard for me to stop useing it because it had become so much apart of my life. It was not a quick return of grip it was very slow but without the saebo I believe my arm and hand would still be flacid.
