DYNAMIC DIGIT EXTENSOR TUBE SPLINT

Tube-shaped splint with rubber spring on the volar surface helps extend finger and mobilise stiff joints without putting pressure over the PIP joint. The spring lifts the finger outward and upward and 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 whilst 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 PIP joint. Circumferential design of splint helps reduce oedema. 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. Not to be used over open wounds or stitches. To determine size, measure circumference of PIP joint. A finger with severe PIP joint flexion contracture may require a larger size than indicated by measuring.
