Reinforced Swan Neck Ring Splint

thingiverse

This is a reinforced version of the Swan Neck Ring Splint, designed for people who need stronger ring splints. This is a swan neck splint that includes a bit of support on the sides for comfort. It can be worn multiple ways. With the rings pointing upward, it limits hyperextension of finger joints When rotated, it can immobilize the finger completely. To find the right size, measure the US ring size of the joint you want to brace, above and below the knuckle. They may be different so pick the larger of the two. Here is a ring sizer if you need one. They can also be purchased at a craft store. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:318876 If you do not have a 3d printer, you can go to 3dhubs to find someone who will print this for you. You can also ask a local college, library, or makerspace.
