Recommended by orthopedic specialists and therapists, these splints ensure comfort and correct alignment throughout recovery.
Types of Mallet Finger Splints We Offer
Stack Splints for Mallet Finger
The most common and doctor-recommended style for treating mallet finger. These plastic splints cradle the fingertip and hold the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint in extension. Lightweight and easy to use.
Aluminum Foam Finger Splints
Designed for semi-rigid immobilization, these splints mold around the finger and are ideal for swelling or unique finger shapes. Often used when stack splints are not a perfect fit.
Custom-Fit and Adjustable Splints
For users with difficult sizing needs or long-term wear, adjustable splints provide a secure, tailored fit with better moisture control and reduced irritation.

FAQ Mallet Finger Splints
A mallet finger splint is a medical device designed to immobilize the fingertip by keeping the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint in full extension. This helps the torn or ruptured extensor tendon heal properly and prevents the fingertip from drooping.
Typically, mallet finger splints should be worn continuously for 6 to 8 weeks, as directed by your healthcare provider, to allow the tendon to reattach and heal. After that, some patients continue wearing the splint at night for additional support.
While mallet finger splints are specifically designed for extensor tendon injuries at the fingertip, some adjustable or custom splints may be suitable for other finger conditions. Always consult your doctor or therapist before using a splint for a different injury.
Choosing the correct splint depends on factors like finger size, injury severity, comfort needs, and how long you’ll be wearing it. Our collection includes stack splints, adjustable wraps, and custom-fit options with detailed sizing guides to help you select the best fit.
Yes, most mallet finger splints are made of durable, latex-free materials that are easy to clean with mild soap and water. Proper hygiene helps prevent skin irritation during extended use.
Many splints are designed to be low-profile and comfortable enough for daytime wear. However, you should avoid activities that risk further injury and always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance regarding use during daily tasks.
