Custom Splints – Tailored Solutions for Hand Care

At ProFlex, our Certified Hand Therapists make special splints for all kinds of hand and upper arm injuries and conditions. We know a lot about different injuries, so we can make sure you get the best splint that fits your needs. Our splints are carefully made from strong and light plastic material. They can be fabricated based on your doctor’s instructions and adjusted and/or remolded as you recover.

What is Custom Splinting?

Splints are important after elbow, wrist, and hand injuries. They help reduce swelling, ease pain, and give the support needed for healing. At ProFlex, we make custom splints in our hand therapy clinic just for you, based on your measurements.

Your special splint can adjust to changes, like swelling, making sure you’re well-protected as you heal. Our hand therapists will help you understand how your splint is designed, made, and fitted. They’ll also give you clear instructions on when and how to wear it, and any precautions you need to take.

What are the benefits of a Custom Splint?

Wearing a custom splint has lots of benefits. It’s made just for you, so it fits your hand and wrist perfectly. This means you won’t have common problems like rubbing or sore spots that can happen with store-bought splints. Our custom splints can also be changed easily by adding extra padding or more straps to suit what you need. They’re created to be light, so they’re super comfortable.

Most insurance plans cover the cost of custom splints, but it’s a good idea to check with your health insurance provider to make sure.

Why Get a Custom Splint?

Custom splints work well for people after surgery, giving personalized support for specific situations. Whether you’re healing from surgery or dealing with things like carpal tunnel syndrome or radial nerve palsy, our special custom-made splints help with pain, weakness, and loss of function.

And it’s not just for people who are hurt—those with extra flexible joints can benefit too. A custom splint can stop injuries from bending too much, making it easier to do everyday tasks.
