Frequently Asked Questions
Which fingers does this splint support?
It is designed to support and immobilize the 4th and 5th digits (ring and pinky fingers) along the ulnar side of the hand.
Is it reversible for left or right hand use?
Yes. The ambidextrous design is reversible and can be worn on either the left or right hand without buying a separate model.
Does it help with a boxer fracture?
It provides ulnar gutter–style external support that helps immobilize the 5th metacarpal region and the 4th/5th digits. Always follow your clinician’s guidance for diagnosis and treatment.
How do I adjust the fit?
Shape the bendable aluminum core to your hand and finger contours, then secure the hook-and-loop straps. Tighten until snug but not restrictive. If you feel numbness or color change, loosen the straps.
Can I wear it all day or overnight?
Many users wear it during daily activities and rest. Wear time should follow your healthcare professional’s advice. Periodically check skin and circulation and adjust as needed.
Is it breathable and comfortable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The seamless knit is breathable, and the materials are latex-free and neoprene-free to be more suitable for sensitive skin.
What size should I choose?
It is a one-size, adjustable design intended to accommodate most adult hands. Use the straps to personalize compression and fit for the 4th and 5th digits.
Will this immobilize my wrist too?
No. It is designed to support the ulnar side of the hand and the 4th/5th fingers. It does not function as a wrist brace.
Can I type or drive while wearing it?
Light activities may be possible, but always follow your clinician’s recommendations. Avoid tasks that strain the injured area. Do not wear if it interferes with safe hand control.
How should I clean the splint?
Hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and hook-and-loop closure.
Can I trim the splint or remove the aluminum core?
Do not cut the splint. The aluminum core is integrated and bendable for fit adjustments. Alterations may compromise support and are not recommended.
Is it suitable for arthritis discomfort?
The splint helps limit motion of the 4th and 5th digits, which may help reduce aggravation during activities. For diagnosis-specific guidance, consult a healthcare professional.
Will it fit under gloves?
The low-profile design may fit under some loose gloves. Ensure gloves do not compress the splint excessively or restrict circulation.
How tight should the straps be?
Snug but comfortable. You should be able to slide a fingertip under the straps. If you notice numbness, tingling, or color changes, loosen immediately.
What is the return or warranty policy?
Warranty specifics are not provided. The product is eligible for returns per the store’s standard policy; please review the policy before purchase.
