Finger Cot Splint - Body Assist (1)

Sold in three lengths, this Body Assist finger cot splint is a small moulded stay that slips over a finger or toe and holds it in a fixed, straight position. It's for someone who needs the digit kept still rather than left free to bend, on the advice of the health professional managing it.

The splint holds the finger in one position and limits how far it can bend. A soft foam lining sits against the skin, and the stay can be re-bent by hand to follow the shape of the finger or toe. It works on either a finger or a toe, and each pack contains one splint.

Sizing goes by the length of the splint rather than a circumference measurement, so match the splint length to the digit you're fitting and treat the size guide as a starting point rather than a hard rule. For hygiene, the splint can't be returned once purchased, so check the size before you order or ring us if you're unsure.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, and this splint sits in the finger and thumb supports range, dispatched nationally and stocked at the East Bendigo walk-in. If you're not sure whether a splint is the right call, or how long to wear it, that's a question for the health professional looking after the injury.

Usage

Slide the splint over the finger or toe so the foam lining sits against the skin, and re-bend the stay by hand if it needs to follow the digit more closely. How firmly it should hold, and how long to wear it, are matters for the health professional managing the injury, so follow their instructions. If the finger or toe goes numb, cold or discoloured, take the splint off and check with your clinician.

Common questions

Does it fit a toe as well as a finger? Yes. The same splint works on either a finger or a toe, so pick the length that matches the digit.

Which size should I choose? Size by the splint length against the digit: Small 6cm, Medium 8cm, Large 9cm. The size guide is a starting point, so if you're between sizes or unsure, give us a call before ordering.

Can I return it if the size is wrong? No. For hygiene reasons the splint can't be returned once purchased, which is why it's worth checking the length first.
