Effective Support for Broken and Injured Fingers
A finger splint is an essential orthopedic tool used to stabilize and protect an injured finger. Whether you are dealing with a fracture, a tendon injury like mallet finger, or inflammation such as trigger finger, our splints provide the necessary immobilization to promote fast healing and prevent further strain.
Key Benefits
- Proper Alignment: Holds the finger in the correct position for bones and ligaments to heal.
- Pain Reduction: Minimizes movement to reduce sharp pain and discomfort.
- Breathable Design: Made with high-quality malleable aluminum and soft foam lining for all-day comfort.
- Easy to Use: Integrated straps or open-wing designs make application simple and secure.
Types of Finger Splints Available
In Nigeria, several types of finger supports are commonly used:
- Aluminum Foam Splints: Malleable and can be shaped to your finger. Great for general fractures.
- Mallet Finger Splints: Specifically designed for injuries to the tip of the finger (DIP joint).
- Trigger Finger Braces: Adjustable fabric supports with metal stays to prevent the finger from locking.
How to Use a Finger Splint
For best results, ensure the splint fits snugly but does not cut off circulation. If you experience increased swelling or numbness, loosen the straps. It is always best to contact a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor for advice on the specific type of splint required for your injury.
