Tube shaped splint with rubber spring on the volar
surface helps extend finger and mobilize stiff joints without putting
pressure over the PIP joint. The spring lifts the finger outward and
upward. The spring also helps prevent the splint from migrating
distally. Use to treat any degree of flexion contractures. Tube is
flexible for limited functionality of finger. The outer rubber surface
provides grip surface while using finger. Distal end of splint can be
trimmed back to monitor finger tip for circulatory problems. Ideal for a
patient lacking sensation in the finger because it does not provide
pressure over POP joint. Circumferential design of splint helps reduce
edema. Made of heavy duty neoprene for heat retention to assist healing.
If the finger feels uncomfortably warm, simply make a slit in the tube
over the PIP joint for ventilation.
