ABSTRACT:
A gutter splint aids the healing of injuries to the metacarpals, proximal phalanges, and middle phalanges by substantially immobilizing the injured digits. The splint includes a volar member and a dorsal member. The volar member has a volar forearm support region for supporting a volar forearm, a volar palm support region for supporting a palm of the hand at a predetermined angle to the forearm, and a finger support region for supporting the fingers at a predetermined angle to the palm. The dorsal member has a dorsal forearm support region for supporting the dorsal forearm, a dorsal hand support region for supporting the hand at a predetermined angle to the dorsal forearm, and a finger support region for supporting the fingers at a predetermined angle to the dorsal hand. The volar member and dorsal member are flexibly secured to each other using a series of removable straps.
