Targeted Immobilization, Soft Lining

Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Aluminium Finger Splint. The position a splint should hold is a clinical decision, so ask a qualified healthcare professional about your own finger.
How do I choose the right size?
Two lengths. Short suits the fingertip and the joint nearest the nail; long reaches further down the finger. Available sizes: Short, Long. No circumference table. Choose the length that covers the joint being treated without pressing on the next joint. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and wear it?
Shape the frame to the angle advised for your finger, slide the finger in with the padded side against the skin, and fasten the strap. Check the fingertip colour after a few minutes.
Will it restrict my movement?
Holds the finger in the set position; the other fingers stay free. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
How is this different from the other Bodymap options?
The Aluminium Finger Splint treats one finger and bends to a set angle. A thumb support wraps the thumb and wrist together, and a wrist splint holds the wrist rather than a finger.
How do I wash and care for it?
Fasten all closures before washing. Follow the care label supplied with the product. Unless the label states otherwise, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and air dry flat away from direct heat. Do not bleach, wring, tumble dry, or iron.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
The angle of the splint should be set by a healthcare professional. Remove it if the finger becomes numb, cold, pale or blue, or if pain increases. An obvious deformity, an open wound, or a finger that cannot be straightened needs assessment before splinting.
