Splints

Some splints are very simple, while others are very complex. Here are some examples.

It is possible to buy generic "off-the shelf" splints, and occasionally these are satisfactory. More often than not, however, they do not fit properly, nor do they give the proper degree of support and comfort.

I want your splint to provide you with the highest possible level of comfort and durability, so I use a broad range of materials. Each one of my splints is custom designed, and I take special care to make them aesthetically attractive.
