More Information

• To position the finger in up to 20 degrees of flexion or hyperextension:
  - Apply pressure upwards on the band and downwards on each end of the oval to alter the depth of the splint
  - Maintain pressure until fully cooled. Reheat in increments of 2-3 seconds if necessary.
  • To shorten the splint to allow PIP joint motion:
    -When worn as a mallet finger splint, the Oval-8 may need to be shortened to allow full PIP joint motion
    - Choose a splint that fits comfortably on the joint and then choose a splint one size smaller as shortening the splint will also increase size
    - Heat the splint as described
    - Squeeze the ends of the oval section together to shorten and increase the depth of the splint. Maintain pressure until fully cooled
