Physiotherapy Room Mallet Finger Splint

Mallet Finger Splints by the Physiotherapy Room are ideally suited for the repair of ruptured tendons. They are designed to support the distal joint of the finger in extension while permitting unrestricted movement of the proximal interphalangeal joint (2nd joint on your finger).

The Splint is normally used without padding and is attached using the Velcro strip that is built into the splint.  The splint is adjustable to accommodate different finger anatomy (arthritis changes etc).

Occasionally, the dorsum (back) of the finger may be too tender to tolerate a normal size Stack Splint. A much larger size, padded on the inside, should be used until the swelling has subsided enough to replace it with a Splint of the proper size.  Made of lightweight, flesh-coloured plastic, patients will find Finger Splints comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Important Note… When measuring your finger, measure very loosely.  If your measuring tape is too tight around your finger, the splint may not fit. Measure around the distal interphalangeal joint (1st joint on your finger closest to the tip of your finger)
