Product Details

Bedford Double Finger Splint (Pack of 5 Splints)

After a mild injury to the finger, splinting the injured finger together with an adjacent finger is an excellent way to help it heal. The Bedford Double Finger Splint (Pack of 5 Splints) does just this, using its elastic material to bind the two fingers together to provide support without completely immobilising the finger, allowing you to recover without losing the use of your hand.

How Does the Bedford Double Finger Splint Work?

The double stalls of the Bedford Double Finger Splint support both the PIP (Proximal Interphalangeal) and DIP (Distal Interphalangeal) joints, making it an excellent all-round double finger support that can aid in the recovery of a wide range of conditions. It provides support without completely immobilising your fingers, allowing you to retain the use of your hand while you recover.

What Injuries is This Finger Splint For?

This finger splint is suitable for a wide range of mild finger injuries, and provides mild compression and support. This includes:

  • Swelling
  • Inflammation
  • Arthritis
  • Tendonitis
  • Sprains
  • Injuries to the DIP joint
  • Injuries to the PIP joint

Which Size is Right for Me?

The Bedford Double Finger Splint is available in five sizes based on the width of each individual finger opening and total length. To find which size you require, measure the circumference of your finger and halve this measurement, this will give you the Width. Small to Extra Large sizes feature the same width, as the total length of the finger splint is most important for these sizes to ensure it fits your intended finger.

Size Length (cm) Finger Width (cm)
XX-Small 4.5cm 1.5cm
Extra Small 5cm 2cm
Small 5.5cm 3cm
Medium 6.5cm 3cm
Large 7.5cm 3cm
Extra Large 8cm 3cm

Which Parts of the Finger Does This Splint Support?

The Bedford Double Finger Splint is designed to provide support to the two joints on the end of your fingers known as the DIP (labelled blue below) and PIP (labelled yellow below) joints. These joints will be bound together and movement will be limited, helping the recovery process take place while reducing the risk of injury aggravation.

The Bedford splint supports the PIP and DIP joints of the finger

Which Fingers is This Support Suitable For?

The Bedford Double Finger Splint is available in a range of sizes, and so can be used with any two adjacent fingers. This makes it a suitable little finger splint, while also being suitable for all areas of the hand, excluding the thumb.

Can I Use This As a Thumb Splint?

No, the Bedford Finger Splint is not suitable for use as a thumb splint, but is suitable for all other fingers on the hand. To support your thumb, you may require a more robust and purpose-built splint such as the BeneCare CMC Comfort Thumb Splint.

Is This Support Trimmable?

While it is important to choose the right size for you to ensure the best fit, this splint can be trimmed down if you find the size is unsuitable for a desired finger. Please note that this will leave an unfinished end that may have a tendency to unravel, and we recommend applying the unfinished end so that it points inwards toward the centre of your hand.

Why Do I Need a Pack of Five?

Due to the materials of this splint, it may lose its elastication and durability if washed. That's why we offer this splint in a pack of five, allowing you to re-apply the splint as needed for extended periods of wear.

What is This Support Made From?

This support is made from elasticated cotton that conforms to your finger, allowing it to remain comfortable while providing light compression. The elasticated material makes the splint exceptionally easy to apply, and ensures that the majority of sizes will be suitable for most individuals.

Is This Splint Suitable for Children?

The Extra Small and XX-Small sizes of this support are designed for children. While they are listed as children's sizes, they may also be suitable for smaller or more slender adults.

Are There Other Splints Available?

While the Bedford Splint is highly versatile and suitable for most mild finger injuries, there are many specific or more severe injuries that will require a different type of splint. If you think you require a different type of splint, you'll find it in our extensive Finger Splint Range.

Is This a 'Buddy Splint'?

You may have heard the term 'buddy splint' used to describe splint two fingers together, and yes, this splint operates via the same principle. By using your healthy finger as a splint, your injured finger will receive the support it needs, and both fingers will be slightly immobilised to allow the healing process to take place.

Can I Buy a Larger Bulk Pack?

To purchase these splints at the best value possible, they are also available in a pack of 25. This is ideal for businesses that may require many splints on hand for first aid, such as offices, care homes or schools.

Features of the Bedford Double Finger Splint

  • Provides support to an injured finger using the adjacent finger as a splint
  • Supports the two end joints of the fingers (PIP and DIP joints)
  • Available in five sizes to suit all fingers of the hand (excluding the thumb)
  • Provides support and compression to minimise swelling
  • Helps to promote healing and minimise recovery time
  • Comfortable and easy to apply
  • Great value in a pack of 5 to allow spares and re-application as needed

When you need a Bedford splint you need it now, so was glad at the prompt arrival, well packed. You need several because they get dirty on your hand, and with 2 fingers splinted together you can't wear a glove. When washed several times, they get stretchy. So buy more than one! They do the job so simply and well, and are a comfort to the injured finger.

I broke my little finger and the hospital made a rigid splint for it. Later, I was given a double finger splint which was very helpful. I decided to purchase more for myself and, as my fingers are quite long, ordered the medium-sized 5-pack from Health and Care. Unfortunately, whilst they were fine lengthwise, they were too wide to give any support and slipped off easily. I don't know if the small size would have been narrower?

Needed these double finger splints so that I could go back to work (need to be able to wash these hands in these times), but also needed to follow doctor's orders and wear these for 4 weeks. Ordered on a Friday evening, arrived the next day. Fitted, washable, suitable - can't ask for more than that, can you.

Very comforting to wear and small size just right for me. As the site says, a bit of give on the width does not matter, The length is important and the sizing chart measurements work out as stated. Delivery was very quick and the item was packed so that it went through the letter box.
