Looks a little similar to another product that gives some ppl midshaft splits. However the little bristles are quite flexible and I don't see any holes at the base where the bristles come out. I have only been using seamless combs, but I might try this. Looks kind of scary though...
Looks like the Tangle Teezer. I never had any issues with the TT, but switched over to the Wet Brush because it works better for me. My TT also fell apart after I dropped it in the shower. It is stupid impossible to grip.
