Sterling silver or 10 karat yellow
gold is used to manufacture Digisplints because of its
attractiveness, durability, stability and malleability.
Digisplints can be tightened or loosened easily to adjust
the fit. Because they are made of silver or gold, they
are hypoallergenic and can be worn without the user
feeling self-conscious about the appearance of his or
her hands.
Digiplints are ideal when used to
stabilize, align or rest a joint. They can prevent deformities
or correct existing ones, relieve chronic pain, promote
healing, provide post-surgical stabilization or alleviate
the need for hand surgery. Primarily made to assist
people with arthritis, Digisplints are also helpful
for those with volar plate injury, muscular dystrophy,
cerebral palsy, tendon transfers, and hypermobile joints
associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
