By squeezing hand therapy balls and therapeutic putty in a similar way, you can strengthen your fingers, maintain muscle function and improve your fine motor skills after finger fractures and hand injuries.

Finger Splints and Protectors

Finger Splints made from plastic or aluminium are designed to protect the fingers following injury. If you have a hyper-extension injury, an impact injury or crush damage to the distal (top) joint of a finger, a Finger Splint will immobilise the finger at the best angle to encourage rapid healing, while ensuring that the distal joint of the finger cannot bend and cause more discomfort.
