Product Features for Finger Immobilization

• Superior Malleability: Made of soft aluminum that bends easily into shape while maintaining structural rigidity once applied.

• Customizable Format: The generous 18-inch (45.7 cm) length allows you to create several small splints or cover a larger area as needed.

• Protective Padding: Features a hypoallergenic foam lining that absorbs pressure and protects the skin from irritation.

• Radiolucent Material: The materials allow for X-rays to be taken without removing the splint, minimizing painful manipulation for the patient.

• Compact and Lightweight: Fits easily into portable first aid kits, trauma bags, or even a pocket for immediate access.

How to Install the Splint on an Injured Finger

To install the splint, first measure the required length based on the injured finger and the joint that needs to be immobilized. Use heavy-duty scissors or bandage shears to cut the strip to the desired length. Gently bend the aluminum to follow the natural curve of the finger. Place the splint to support the finger from underneath (cradle style) or along the sides, then secure it using medical adhesive tape or a light wrap. Ensure the splint is firm, but be careful not to over-tighten to maintain proper blood circulation.

How to Maintain and Store the Product

This finger splint is designed for single-patient use to ensure optimal hygiene and prevent cross-contamination. For storage, keep the unused roll or segments in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture. If the foam becomes soiled with blood or bodily fluids during an intervention, the splint should be disposed of according to biohazard protocols. Periodically check the condition of the foam to ensure it remains intact and does not crumble over time.

Usage Tips for First Aid Response

In the event of an accident, we recommend checking for sensitivity and nail bed color (the capillary refill test) both before and after applying the splint. Never attempt to straighten a finger that shows an obvious deformity; apply the splint in the position the finger was found and seek medical attention immediately. This product is an excellent complement to SAM splints for comprehensive immobilization coverage in the workplace.
