Product Description

The Proximal Finger Splint is a lightweight rigid finger orthosis designed to immobilise and stabilise the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint.
Its extended dorsal design runs along the back of the finger to help restrict movement at the PIP joint while leaving the fingertip exposed. Ventilation holes help improve airflow during wear.
The splint is suitable for use on either hand and is available in seven sizes to provide a closer fit around the affected finger.
Correct sizing is important to ensure the splint sits securely without creating excessive pressure. Where the finger is significantly swollen, deformed, fractured or has recently undergone surgery, professional assessment is recommended before use.

FAQs

What joint does the Proximal Finger Splint support?
It is designed to immobilise and stabilise the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, the middle joint of the finger.

Small correction there: your current FAQ says PIP is “near the base of the finger”. Anatomically, the MCP joint is at the base; the PIP is the middle finger joint.

Can it be used on either hand?
Yes. The bilateral design allows it to be used on either the left or right hand, provided the correct size is selected.

How should the splint fit?
It should sit securely around the finger without excessive pressure, rubbing or restricted circulation.

When should I seek professional advice?
Seek assessment where there is a suspected fracture, significant deformity, severe swelling, numbness, colour change or persistent pain.

Can I wear it continuously?
Wear time should follow clinical advice where the splint has been recommended following injury or surgery.
