Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose a mouldable aluminium splint instead of a soft finger wrap?
Mouldable aluminium can be shaped to the finger to hold position more firmly and restrict joint motion in a controlled way. A soft wrap mainly provides compression/holding, but typically not the same structured immobilisation.
What is the practical difference between immobilising the 1st & 2nd phalanx and using a small fingertip splint?
When support is needed across more than just the fingertip, immobilising the 1st & 2nd phalanx offers broader stability for the finger joints. It can be useful after strain/injury around the finger joints, based on professional guidance.
How do I pick the right size and what should I watch for during use?
Choose based on length (S 5.7 cm, M 7 cm, L 7.6 cm) so it supports the finger without excess length. After fitting, check for strong pressure, numbness, or colour change. For extra stability, a self-adherent elastic bandage or fixation tape can help, without overtightening.
