hey, when i had my splint on i sprayed mine with febreeze. also after you get out fo the shower let the splint "air out" for a while.

in addition to spraying the splint with something (I suggest woolite or a product made for fabric scents, not humans) you also need to keep it off when you get out of the shower for about a half-hour (and don't use your hand) to wait for your finger to completely dry. the smell is possibly a sign of slight molding because of trapped water. the same thing happened to me two years ago when I had a broken finger.

I have a similar problem with a splint on my leg. I've been covering the smell with Axe body spray. If you spray your splint with something like Axe or Tag after you take it off and let it sit while you're in the shower, the smell should at least be less potent and, over time, go away completely.
