There are sub-types to each of these splints which will be customised and molded based on the specific needs of any given condition.

Our team of  hand therapists are experienced and skilled in fabricating custom-made hand splints best suited for any particular condition. Each splint is molded to fit any given area to meet specific needs and at the same time, try to prevent limiting the range of motion of other unaffected areas. They also tend to be less bulky compared with, for e.g. casts, as thermoplastic splints can be adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Most of the time, custom made thermoplastic splints are fabricated during the acute phase when swelling may be present. The unique properties of  thermoplastics  allow splints to be remolded or adjusted, thus eliminating the need to fabricate a new splint when swelling subsides.
