- Immobilization: Finger splints provide support and immobilization to injured or strained fingers, helping to prevent further damage or injury. Immobilization can also help to reduce pain and swelling.
- Promotes healing: By holding the affected finger in a fixed position, finger splints can help to promote healing by reducing the risk of further injury and allowing damaged tissue to repair itself.
- Improves finger function: Splints can help to restore the normal range of motion and function to the fingers by providing the necessary support and protection during the healing process.
- Prevents deformity: Splints can help to prevent finger deformities that can occur after an injury or surgery by holding the finger in the correct position as it heals.
- Reduces the need for medication: By reducing pain and swelling and promoting healing, finger splints can help to reduce the need for pain medications or anti-inflammatory drugs. This can help to reduce the risk of side effects associated with these medications.
