[0002] In modern medicine and rehabilitation, effective immobilization is crucial for the treatment and recovery of finger fractures or joint injuries. Finger splints, as commonly used assistive devices, play a key role in maintaining the correct position of the injured finger, promoting healing, and preventing secondary injury.

[0003] Traditional finger splints mostly use a fixed size design, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes a U-shaped elastic clamp 101, a sponge pad layer 102 disposed on the inner surface of the U-shaped elastic clamp 101, and a connecting strap 103 for fixation. By inserting the patient's finger into the cavity formed by the U-shaped elastic clamp 101 and then fixing it with the connecting strap 103, the patient's finger is fixed to achieve the function of rehabilitation assistance. However, due to significant differences in finger length between individuals, taking children as an example, their fingers are still in the growth and development stage and are shorter, with a large difference in finger length compared to adults. There is also a significant difference in finger length between adult males and adult females.

[0004] Therefore, this single-size splint inevitably has problems such as being too short or too long during use, which may result in the inability to provide full and stable support for the patient's fingers or excessive restriction of the patient's finger movements, thus affecting the patient's normal hand function.

[0005] Therefore, a finger fixation splint is proposed here to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The finger fixation splint according to the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment of the present application is shown, it should be understood that a person skilled in the art can modify the present application described herein while still achieving the advantageous effects of the present application. Therefore, the following description should be understood as a broad knowledge for a person skilled in the art, and not as a limitation of the present application.

[0028] The present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the following paragraphs. The advantages and features of the present application will be more apparent according to the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are very simplified and use non-precise proportions, only to facilitate and clarify the purpose of assisting the description of the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 to 5 The present application provides a finger fixation splint, which comprises a U-shaped elastic clamp 1 and two sets of connection assemblies.

[0030] The two sets of connection assemblies are respectively connected with the inner surface of the end of the U-shaped elastic clamp 1, and are used for adjusting the length covered by the finger fixation splint along the end surface direction of the U-shaped elastic clamp 1, so as to meet the needs of fixing the fingers of different lengths, and to avoid problems such as being unable to provide stable support for the fingers of patients or excessive restriction caused by the finger fixation splint being too short or too long.

[0031] Specifically, the connection assembly comprises a plurality of connecting strips 2 which are rotatably connected and can be folded and hidden in sequence, one of the connecting strips 2 is rotatably connected with the inner surface of the end of the U-shaped elastic clamp 1, and the inner surface of the U-shaped elastic clamp 1 is provided with an accommodating groove 11 for accommodating the connecting strip 2.

[0032] That is, by setting two sets of connecting components including multiple connecting strips 2 and U-shaped elastic clamps 1, and connecting the two sets of connecting components to the inner surface of the end of the U-shaped elastic clamps 1 respectively, when it is necessary to fix the finger, the connecting strips 2 can be unfolded or folded according to the length of the finger, thereby adjusting the length covered by the entire splint along the end face of the U-shaped elastic clamps 1, so as to meet the fixation needs of different patients' fingers and achieve the purpose of greater applicability.

[0033] In a specific example, such as when fixing a longer finger, as... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, more connecting strips 2 can be deployed, allowing the splint to completely cover and conform to the finger, thus providing stable support and fixation. When fixing shorter fingers, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, part of the connecting strip 2 can be folded and hidden to ensure that it does not excessively restrict the patient's hand during fixation, so that the patient can use their hand normally during the recovery process.

[0034] In other embodiments, the rotation range of the connecting strip 2 is further limited so that when the connecting strip 2 is in the unfolded state, it can fix the fingers. The rotation range of the connecting strip 2 is 0°-180°.

[0035] The connecting strip 2 is provided with a groove 21, which limits the connecting strip 2 by means of the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21, so that the connecting strip 2 can rotate within the range of 0°-180°.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting strip 2 and the U-shaped elastic clamp 1, as well as two adjacent connecting strips 2, are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft.

[0037] It should be noted that the pivot is located on the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21, and the depth of the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21 is adapted to the thickness of the corresponding connecting strip 2. That is, by setting the depth of the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21, the pivot is set in the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21. The inner wall of the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21 limits the connecting strip 2, so that the connecting strip 2 can only switch between a folded state and a horizontal state when in use, so as to ensure that it can play a normal fixing role for the patient's finger.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the receiving groove 11 and the groove 21 is set as a rectangular structure to improve the limiting effect on the connecting strip 2.

[0039] In other embodiments, in order to enable the inner surface of the U-shaped elastic clasp 1 to be in close contact with the patient's finger to achieve the effect of fixing the support of the finger, a fixing member 12 is additionally arranged on the outer end surface of the U-shaped elastic clasp 1.

[0040] The fixing member 12 is a ring-shaped winding connecting fixing belt, which enables the U-shaped elastic clasp 1 to maintain a certain state (i.e. in close contact with the patient's finger) for a long time, so as to ensure the fixing effect on the patient's finger.

[0041] In the present embodiment, the U-shaped elastic clasp 1 and the connecting strip 2 are both made of plastic material, which can be deformed to a certain extent to better fit the patient's finger.

[0042] In order to improve the comfort of the patient's finger during fixation, a plurality of long strip-shaped sponge pads 13 are arranged on the inner surface of the U-shaped elastic clasp 1.

[0043] It should be noted that the sponge pads 13 are arranged at positions away from the positions of the accommodating grooves 11 to avoid interference with the folding and unfolding of the connecting strip 2, and to ensure the stability of the operation of the finger fixing splint.

[0044] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalent technologies, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
