Aluminium Foam Finger Splint (1)

The aluminium foam finger splint is a malleable metal strip backed with soft foam padding, shaped to support and hold a finger in a steady position. It is narrow through the width with a slight upward curve at the tip to protect the fingertip, and the aluminium core bends by hand so you can match it to the shape of the finger. Available in 1cm and 2.5cm widths to suit different finger sizes.

Product features

• Malleable aluminium core that bends and holds its shape by hand
• Soft foam padding against the skin for comfort
• 48cm strip length, trimmed to suit the finger
• Available in 1cm or 2.5cm widths

How to size and fit

Choose the width that best matches the finger, then measure the splint against the finger and trim the aluminium strip to length if needed. Bend the splint to follow the natural resting shape of the finger, sit the padded side against the skin, and secure it in place with strapping or tape. Check that it feels supportive without pinching and that circulation to the fingertip stays clear.

Common uses

An aluminium finger splint is a common inclusion in home, sports and workplace first aid supplies. It is used to hold an injured or sore finger still and give it support, and to keep the finger in a set position. Keep one on hand alongside your strapping tape so you can steady a finger quickly when needed.
