Dorsal Splint
A dorsal splint is a medical device designed to immobilize and support the dorsal (back) side of the hand, wrist, or fingers. Commonly used for injuries such as fractures, tendon repairs, or post-surgical recovery, it helps stabilize the affected area while allowing limited movement on the palmar (front) side to promote healing. Made from materials like thermoplastic or metal with padding, dorsal splints are customized to ensure comfort and proper fit.
