A splint made of polypropylene which, at the bottom, covers the distal part of the finger up to the distal interphalangeal joint. The upper part leaves the nail exposed and also extends to the distal interphalangeal joint.
It is recommended for immobilising the distal interphalangeal joint, whilst allowing movement of the proximal interphalangeal joint, thereby preventing side effects on the other joints.
To determine the correct size, measure the circumference of the upper finger joint:
Size 1: 5 cm
Size 2: 5.5 cm
Size 3: 5.8 cm
Size 4: 6.1 cm
Size 5: 6.3 cm
Size 6: 7.3 cm
