The Joint 8 finger splint is the ideal choice when you need to stabilize or immobilize the small joints of the fingers. The Joint 8 finger splint is designed to stabilize or immobilize the PIP joint or DIP joint. The splint is also made with 1.6 mm translucent plastic without seams. The edges are rounded to provide more comfort. The finger splint has three different interfaces so that multiple disorders can be treated. Because the design is open, the skin also stays clean and dry. This splint can also be worn while washing hands, showering or even swimming. It is very easy to put on the finger splint, because this only takes a few seconds.
