摘要
A splint (10) worn by sufferers of mallet finger. The splint comprises a sleeve (12) sized to readily fit over the end of a finger (F) having a damaged tendon causing the mallet finger. The sleeve extends at least as far as the DIP joint of the finger. A pocket (14) is formed in the sleeve and a curved rigid plate (16) having an elbow (18) formed intermediate its ends is positioned along the underside of the finger. A padding material (20) fits between the plate and the finger to cushion the finger. The curvature of the plate holds the outer end of the finger in a hyperextended position with the DIP joint immobilized so to promote healing of the finger.
