Long Finger Splint

The Long Finger Splint is a highly functional and medically engineered device in the Wrist Support category. Designed to immobilize the fingers and wrist simultaneously, this splint provides crucial support during injury recovery, post-surgical care, and neurological conditions affecting hand mobility. With a durable outer shell, adjustable straps, and soft inner padding, the splint ensures both stability and comfort for extended use.

It’s an ideal solution for patients recovering from tendon injuries, fractures, dislocations, or conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and nerve palsy. Its long-profile design properly aligns the fingers and wrist, preventing unwanted movement and accelerating the rehabilitation process.

Applications

• Immobilizing fingers and wrist during ligament or tendon recovery.
• Maintaining hand stability after surgery or trauma-related procedures.
• Controlling involuntary finger motion or dropping due to nerve damage.
• Managing painful finger movements caused by repetitive strain injury (RSI).
• Preventing joint deformities in chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
• Providing rest and correction during nighttime or home-based therapies.

Key Features

• Extended finger-to-wrist coverage: Ensures full immobilization of fingers and wrist.
• Internal aluminum splint: Keeps fingers in neutral position for optimal healing.
• Adjustable Velcro straps: Universal fit that conforms to a variety of hand sizes and finger lengths.
