Indication
Injuries or surgery in the area of the hand, if the fingers must stay motionless. Further, inflammations of tendons in the wrist. Duration: For healing wounds 1 week maximum.
Procedure
The procedure is similar to the forearm splint. The splint can be put on the inner (volar) or the outer side (dorsal) of the hand. It depends on the position of the wound.
Padding is here essential. Furthermore, one puts gauze strips between the included fingers. To control circulation and sensibility, the fingertips should not be covered with bandages.
