Why Do I Need a Finger Splint After Injury?
After an injury, such as a fracture, ligament strain or dislocation, it is important to keep the finger stable at a certain degree of flexion or extension, minimising the risk of over-exertion or unwanted movement. Flexing or bending your finger too far whilst your body is healing can easily cause permanent damage or chronic injury.
Malleable Aluminium for Adjustable Flexion
Employing malleable aluminium, the Oppo Splint can be reshaped and moulded with considerable pressure to create a casing at the exact degree of flexion or extension required. This allows you to adjust the position of the splint to support the correct alignment of your finger as your healing progresses.
Soft Foam Interface for Added Comfort
Splints and supports are designed to be worn for extended periods of time, aiding your joints, ligaments and bones in their healing. For added comfort, the Oppo Splint features a soft foam interface to provide a cushioning and spongy layer between the skin and metal.
