Why Should I Choose This Particular Finger Splint?

This finger splint differs from splints such as the Single Armchair Finger Splint in its spring type; the Simpson Modified Single Finger Splint features a shorter, stronger splint that supports the PIP and leaves the DIP joint free to flex. The Simpson Modified Splint is ideal for use as a progressive splint after intensive use of the Single Armchair Finger Splint.
