Wanting custom made, waterproof supports for your finger, thumb, hand, wrist or elbow injury? We have you covered.
At Auckland Hand Rehab, we design and custom-make waterproof thermoplastic splints and braces that are comfortable, durable and tailored specifically to your injury. Every splint is individually fabricated by one of our experienced hand therapists to provide the right balance of protection, comfort and function throughout your recovery.
Why choose a thermoplastic splint?
Unlike many off-the-shelf braces, thermoplastic splints are custom moulded directly to your hand, wrist, thumb or finger. This provides a precise fit, improved comfort and better support while allowing you to continue many of your everyday activities.
Our custom splints are:
- Fully custom made to your individual anatomy
- Lightweight and low profile
- Waterproof, allowing you to shower and swim
- Remouldable as your swelling reduces or your injury heals
- Comfortable enough for daily wear
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Designed to maximise protection while allowing safe movement where appropriate
Expert splinting for every stage of recovery
Our hand therapists are highly trained in the assessment and treatment of upper limb injuries. Whether you have sustained a fracture, tendon injury, ligament injury, nerve injury or require post-operative protection, we can fabricate a splint specifically designed to meet your rehabilitation goals.
Every splint is reviewed and adjusted as your recovery progresses, ensuring you continue to receive the appropriate level of support while gradually restoring movement and strength.
