Splint Instructions (Blocking)

Splint is used both to protect, and to allow controlled move-ment while healing takes place in the injured tendons.
Splint must be worn when exercises are performed in order to prevent certain motions which can damage the healing tendons.
Hand and wrist must remain in splinted position on the rare occasions when the splint is removed for quick cleaning.
When splint is off, do not move your fingers or wrist! Replace splint immediately after cleaning.
