Provides dynamic force to assist the PIP joint into extension with minimal MCP extension, making it ideal for PIP joint tightness, contractures, and Boutonniere deformity.

The angled distal pad reduces pressure by providing full surface contact on the middle phalanx. A "P" marking on the proximal pad indicates correct placement near the palm, ensuring accurate fitting each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is this splint used for?

It's used for PIP joint tightness or contractures and Boutonniere deformity, helping gently guide the finger joint into extension.

How does the splint apply force?

It applies dynamic force to assist the PIP joint into extension while minimising unwanted extension at the MCP joint.

What is the angled distal pad for?

The angled distal pad spreads pressure evenly across the middle phalanx, improving comfort during wear.

How do I know which way to fit the splint?

Look for the "P" marking on the proximal pad — this should be positioned nearest the palm for correct fitting.
