What does a hand splint look like?

A hand splint is typically a rigid or semi-rigid device designed to immobilize, support, or protect the hand and wrist. It often consists of a molded plastic or metal frame, padded for comfort, and may include Velcro straps for secure fastening. The splint usually covers the palm and extends to the fingers or wrist, depending on the specific injury or condition being treated. Some splints are adjustable, allowing for a customized fit to accommodate swelling or changes in hand position.
