BORT Stack splint – finger splint for immobilizing the end joint

The BORT Stack splint is a medical finger splint for targeted immobilization of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint. It reliably stabilizes the affected fingertip, thus supporting healing after injuries such as fractures, dislocations, ligament injuries, or extensor tendon ruptures. Its special shape with a semi-oval opening allows the fingernail to remain visible while securely guiding the fingertip.

Application and handling

The selection of the correct size and initial instruction are provided by trained professionals. To use, place the affected finger straight on a flat surface and slide the splint over the finger until the fingertip is flush with the end of the splint and the nail is visible in the opening. Ensure that the back end of the splint does not extend beyond the PIP joint (the middle joint of the finger). For fixation, a skin-friendly, self-adhesive fixation tape (not included) can be wrapped circularly around the back end of the splint. To remove, release the fastener and carefully peel off the splint.

Important information and warnings

The splint must not be worn on open wounds and should not be used if there is an intolerance to the materials used. Its use is contraindicated in cases of unexplained soft tissue swelling, sensory or circulatory disturbances, and skin diseases in the treated area. Remove the splint before radiological examinations. If numbness occurs, remove the splint if necessary and consult your doctor, pharmacist, or medical supply store if symptoms persist. The simultaneous use of other products on the same finger should only be done after consulting your doctor. The splint is a medical device for the care of a single patient and must not be reused on other people.

Cleaning and care

The finger splint should be hand-washed. It must not be dry-cleaned, bleached, tumble-dried, or ironed. Fabric softener should not be used to preserve the material and function of the medical device.
