What is the Buddy Splint?
A buddy splint is a device used to separate and align crooked or overlapping digits. This splint can help to stabilize the injured digit, reduce pain, and promote healing. The uninjured digit acts as a natural splint, providing support and preventing excessive movement of the injured one.
Key Features
- Comfortable material to avoid friction and pain during the healing process
- Easy application
- Provides stability while still allowing some degree of movement, which can be helpful for maintaining circulation and preventing stiffness
