Functional Position Splint – Hand, Wrist & Finger Support

Introduction

For patients recovering from wrist, carpal, or metacarpal surgeries — or those living with neurological conditions such as flaccid paralysis — maintaining proper hand alignment is essential for both healing and long-term mobility. The Functional Position Splint is a clinically designed orthopedic device that provides immobilization, prevents contractures, and supports the hand in a natural, functional position.

With its prefabricated splint design, durable plastic shell, and foam-padded comfort, this brace ensures the wrist, hand, and fingers remain correctly positioned during rehabilitation, reducing the risk of deformities while maximizing comfort.

• Ideal for Post-Surgical Care: Protects healing tissues and ensures proper immobilization.

• Neurological Support: Helps patients with flaccid paralysis maintain functional hand positioning.

• Pain Reduction: Supports weak or painful wrist joints and minimizes stress on tendons.

• Comfortable Immobilization: Foam padding cushions sensitive areas, making it suitable for extended wear.
