Product Description
Designed for reliable immobilization of the ring and pinky fingers, the ORTONYX Boxer Fracture Splint (ACKB434) pairs a durable aluminum core with breathable, skin‑friendly fabric to support comfort during prolonged wear. The semi‑rigid core can be gently contoured to your hand shape to help stabilize the 4th and 5th digits and the ulnar side of the hand, assisting protection during recovery or as an ulnar gutter–style alternative recommended by your clinician.
A reversible design fits either left or right hand, so you can switch sides as needed without purchasing a second brace. One‑size construction fits most adults, and two hook‑and‑loop straps make on‑the‑fly adjustments simple—especially helpful as swelling fluctuates throughout the day. Users frequently note that the brace “stays in place,” “is sturdy but doesn’t hurt,” and “makes it easier to drive and do some activities,” reflecting a balanced combination of stabilization and comfort when used as directed.
The soft, breathable textile reduces heat buildup and is gentle on skin for extended use. The low‑profile profile helps the brace sit comfortably under a sleeve or glove and keeps the hand protected without the bulk of larger wraps. Whether you need a supportive immobilizer for a boxer‑type injury to the 5th metacarpal region, a sprain to the ring/pinky finger, or a brace to help keep the hand aligned during specific activities, this splint helps restrict motion to safeguard the affected area.
Built‑in usability details make daily life easier: quick‑grip closures for fast donning and removal, interior padding to reduce pressure over tender areas, and an adjustable aluminum spine for personalized shaping by hand. If you have sensitive skin, the latex‑free, neoprene‑free materials provide peace of mind while maintaining breathability.
Common feedback from customers informs a few best practices. For comfort, avoid over‑tightening the straps and check fingertip circulation—numbness, tingling, or unusual coldness means loosening is needed. If you experience pressure on the top of the hand, a small piece of soft gauze or a thin liner under the strap may help. Because this is one size for adults, users with very small hands may find the fit looser; careful strap placement and gentle pre‑shaping of the aluminum core can improve the fit. Inspect the brace periodically for wear at the strap anchoring points, especially during the first weeks of use, and discontinue use if damaged.
Use the ORTONYX Boxer Fracture Splint under the guidance of a healthcare professional to support immobilization of the 4th or 5th finger during rehabilitation or protection. It’s a practical, reversible option for left or right hand use that emphasizes secure stabilization, breathable comfort, and quick adjustability to help you move through daily routines more confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which fingers does this splint support?
It is designed to immobilize the 4th (ring) or 5th (pinky) finger and the ulnar side of the hand. Use on the fingers and side your clinician recommends.
Can I wear it on either hand?
Yes. The reversible design fits the left or right hand. You can switch sides without purchasing a second splint.
Is it truly one size fits most?
The brace is one size for most adults. Users with very small hands may find the fit loose. Careful strap placement and gentle pre‑shaping of the aluminum core can improve the fit.
Will this replace an ulnar gutter cast or bulky clinic wrap?
It offers ulnar gutter–style support for select indications. Only your healthcare professional can advise whether this splint is appropriate as an alternative for your specific case.
Is it comfortable for all‑day wear?
Customers report breathable, skin‑friendly comfort for extended wear. Avoid over‑tightening the straps and check circulation at the fingertips. If pressure points occur, slightly loosen the straps or add a thin liner.
Can I drive while wearing the splint?
Some customers noted they could drive more comfortably with the brace. Always follow your clinician’s guidance and local laws, and ensure you can safely grip and control the wheel before driving.
How secure are the straps and closures?
Double hook‑and‑loop straps provide a secure hold and easy adjustment. If you experience slippage, clean lint from the hook surface and re‑seat the strap. Inspect regularly for wear.
What if the fabric or strap anchor starts to separate?
Discontinue use if damage appears and contact customer support for assistance. To reduce stress on seams, avoid over‑tightening and re‑shape the aluminum core rather than relying solely on strap tension.
Does the splint contain latex or neoprene?
No. Materials are latex‑free and neoprene‑free, which many users with sensitivities appreciate.
How do I adjust the aluminum core?
With the splint off your hand, gently bend the aluminum to match your hand’s ulnar curve. Make small adjustments only. Repeated or aggressive bending can weaken the metal.
Can this help with pain?
The splint helps limit aggravating motion and supports protection, which may reduce discomfort during daily activities. For pain management, follow your clinician’s instructions.
Is it suitable for children?
It is designed for adults. Some caregivers reported fitting smaller hands, but fit is not guaranteed. Consult a pediatric clinician for child use.
Can I wear it during sports or work?
Use during light activities only if your clinician approves. Avoid high‑impact or contact activities unless explicitly cleared by a healthcare professional.
How should I clean the brace?
Hand wash only in cool water. Air dry completely away from heat before next use. Do not iron.
What are the key safety tips?
Do not overtighten. Check skin and circulation often. Stop use if numbness, tingling, discoloration, or increased irritation occurs, and consult your clinician.
