Trigger finger-also called stenosing tenosynovitis-causes the flexor tendon to catch or lock when you bend a finger or thumb. The fastest, most proven non‑surgical treatment is immobilization with a high‑quality Trigger Finger Splint. Our curated selection of splints is trusted by hand surgeons, certified hand therapists (CHTs), and athletic trainers to reduce inflammation, stop painful catching, and restore smooth tendon glide.
Why Choose a Medical‑Grade Trigger Finger Splint?
| Benefit | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| Static Immobilization | Holds the MCP or PIP joint in extension so the inflamed tendon sheath can rest and heal. |
| Targeted Compression | Reduces swelling and discomfort without restricting circulation. |
| Adjustable Fit | Strap‑or wrap‑based designs let you fine‑tune tension as swelling changes. |
| Low‑Profile Comfort | Slim, breathable materials fit under gloves and won't snag on clothing. |
| Day & Night Wear | Lightweight construction lets you keep the finger splint on 24/7 for faster recovery. |
All splints are latex‑free, easy to clean, and sized for adults and children.
