Will a Silversplint cure my condition?

The Silversplint plays an important role in alleviating symptoms, with the goal of making daily activities easier to perform.

Are Silversplints comfortable to wear?

Silversplints are designed to be comfortable and not cause discomfort, using minimal material to be functional and targeted. This results in the open structure of Silversplints and their lightweight design. This open shape and the antibacterial nature of silver prevent the splint from sweating or irritating the skin. Due to the density of silver, the material is “soft” enough to be bent or shaped. This means that the splint can be adjusted to the specific fit and needs of the wearer. These factors contribute to optimal wearing comfort.

In summary, Silversplints are medical devices with various functionalities that can be used for different medical conditions affecting the fingers, thumbs, hands, wrists, and elbows. The splints are designed to be comfortable and cause no discomfort. Silver is ideal for shaping to fit the wearer’s needs. It is important to remember that a Silversplint is an aid, not a cure, and it is essential to regularly consult with a doctor regarding your medical condition.
