Frequent Questions
01.How can I adjust my splint?
01. How do I get a Digisplint?
There are two options to acquire our splints. We would be happy to see you directly at our office in Exeter, Ontario. We would need to set up an appointment with you; at that appointment we are able to assess, measure, build and fit you with splints so that when you leave you are wearing your splints.
The other option is to have a therapist (physiotherapist, occupational therapist, hand therapist) or other qualified health professional assess and measure your fingers. We will be happy to send to your current therapist or doctor our measuring kit and instructions so they can fit you with a Digisplint. They will be capable of determining the correct type of splint and the correct size of splint for you and will fax or email the order to us. Once we have received payment, we will manufacture the splint and ship them to you. If you are currently not working with a therapist, please contact us and we will see if there is someone in your area who has our measuring kit.
02. Are they covered by benefits?
Most insurance companies will cover the cost of these splints if you have a prescription from a doctor. Coverage is under Custom Orthopedic Splints. We suggest you contact your insurance company to see if the splints will be covered.
03. What if my splint needs repair or adjustment?
Return your splint to us with a description of the problem as well as your name, address and telephone number. Package it carefully in a box and send it to our mailing address. If a new size is required, place the splint in a box along with a note stating the new size, contact name, phone number and return mailing address and send it to our mailing address. We will resize any splint at no charge for the first 6 months after the purchase date. There will be a charge for any resizing’s after that.
