Product Overview
Mallet Finger Splints are recommended to use for mallet finger, an injury to the finger tendon that extends the finger, preventing the final joint of the finger from straightening out. The splint holds the end finger joint on the tip of each finger (distal interphalangeal joint) in a neural / extended position whilst allowing your middle knuckle (proximal interphalangeal joint) to move. Mallet finger splints can also be used to protect injuries at the end of the finger and nailbed, such as a crush injury – trapped in a door. Available in 7 sizes, for more information on how to measure and select your size please see our measurement guide below.
