An adjustable wrist and hand splint employs four rigid aluminum stays for providing support for the forearm, fourth and fifth fingers and the outer portion of the hand. The aluminum stays are bendable for accommodating particular needs of the user. The splint also employs a sleeve that encompasses and provides further support for the forearm, fourth and fifth fingers and outer portion of the hand. The sleeve also provides padding between the stays and the forearm, hand and fingers. In addition, the splint includes pockets that are secured to the sleeve. The aluminum stays are housed within the pockets. Further, the splint may be readily put on or removed using a set of adjustable straps. The straps normally include "Velcro" type material that engage the mating "Velcro" type material on the surface of the sleeve. The fastening straps also help to further immobilize the wrist, fourth and fifth fingers and outer portion of the hand. |
