hand splint

Product Description

A rigid hand splint is used to immobilize or fixate the hand or wrist following an injury or surgery. It helps stabilize the affected area, reducing pain and preventing further damage during recovery. Made from materials like plastic, metal, or foam, these non-moving splints provide support and keep the hand in a fixed position to promote healing. Often referred to as a protective hand splint Immobilizing splint Fixation splint Stabilizing splint Non-moving splint Supportive hand splint Fixed position splint or orthotic splint, it can be custom or pre-fabricated to suit the needs of the patient.

Splints can be designed for short-term use (acute injuries) or longer-term use (chronic conditions). They are typically worn until the hand or wrist has healed enough to function without additional support.
