Reverse finger knuckle bender splint

Apply splint with only one end of the rubber band attached to supra structure. (no dynamic force to flex P.I.P. joint) will facilitate proper positioning of splint on finger. Slide finger into splint, position wider finger band on bottom and behind D.I.P. joint. Position top plate behind P.I.P. joint. Complete attaching rubber bands to supra structure. Evaluate fit, function, and establish a wearing schedule. The splint is designed to dynamically extend P.I.P. while allowing active flexion. Rubber bands can be added or subtracted and the supra structure can be reshaped to adjust the dynamic force. The lateral wires and finger bands can be carefully reshaped to modify fit. Remove splint from patient to modify. Disconnecting rubber bands will make splint removal easier and prepare splint for reapplication. Clean with mild soap and damp towel. Air dry completely before reapplying. Immediately contact your health care professional if you are experiencing loss of sensation, swelling, skin irritation, or have any questions or concerns.
