The Cambridge Splint Finger Brace is a dynamic splint targeting the PIP joint while keeping the DIP joint free to move, supporting more functional everyday finger use.
Features (Cambridge Splint Finger Brace)
The design is dynamic and focused on the PIP joint, supporting a more open finger position without fully locking movement.
The DIP joint remains free to move, which helps preserve fine fingertip motion during daily tasks.
Support on the middle phalanx is provided through a padded strap for a steadier, more comfortable fit.
It is a practical choice when a user wants targeted PIP support with less restriction at the fingertip compared with designs that control more joints.
Size selection is based on PIP circumference, helping reduce unwanted shifting during use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the Cambridge Splint focus on the PIP joint while keeping the DIP joint free?
It is designed for targeted PIP support while keeping the DIP free so the fingertip can retain fine motion. This often feels more practical for tasks that need basic handling compared with splints that restrict both joints.
How does it feel different compared with Armchair designs (Single/Double/Triple)?
The Cambridge design is more clearly focused on the PIP joint and keeps the DIP free, while Armchair options typically provide a more “integrated” support feel across the finger and, depending on the model, across multiple fingers. If you want less fingertip restriction with PIP-focused support, Cambridge is often the better match by design.
What should I watch for in sizing and strap comfort during longer wear?
Measure PIP circumference and choose the matching size so it feels secure without strong pressure. The padded strap should prevent slipping without leaving deep marks after a few minutes. If you wear gloves or do repetitive tasks, check for friction points at the strap edges.
