Hand Therapy & Compression

SecurPutty Spectra is the hand therapy putty clinics have trusted for decades: six graded resistances, made in the USA from non-toxic silicone, in an 85 g tub that fits a patient's pocket. Squeeze it, pinch it, roll it, stretch it — putty builds grip and pinch strength, tendon glide and range of motion after injury, surgery or a stroke, and keeps arthritic hands moving.

Choosing the resistance

Match the colour to tested grip strength, or start soft and move up as strength returns. Most home programs run through two or three colours over a few months.

Why Spectra grade

• Holds its resistance and doesn't crumble or leave residue
• Non-toxic silicone, latex free, unscented
• Six resistances — finer steps than the usual four — so progressions are gentler

Care

Store at room temperature in its container; warm days can make it tacky. Keep it off fabric and textured surfaces. Not for consumption — if swallowed, seek medical attention.

For clinics

The 2.3 kg tub is the economical way to dispense to patients — pair it with 85 g containers with lids. For a graded program in a box, see the Digiflex finger exercisers and slow recovery foam. Bulk pricing available on 02 9878 6188.

The Oval-8 is the finger splint that doesn't need tape. A seamless band of moulded plastic slips over the joint and holds it in position — for trigger finger, mallet finger, swan-neck and boutonnière deformities, hypermobility, arthritis and fracture protection. Worn seven different ways depending on the condition, it is so light most people forget it's there.

Why therapists specify it

• Stays in place without straps or tape; you can wash your hands, swim and work in water without removing it.
• Open design keeps the skin dry; broad, flat bands spread pressure so it can be worn full time.
• Slips on and off in seconds when it's only needed for certain tasks.

Getting the size right

Fit is everything with an Oval-8, and a healthcare provider will get the best result. To size at home: with a flexible tape, measure the circumference around the joint you're treating and match it to the table below. If the measurement falls between sizes, order both adjacent sizes — a snug fit in the morning can be loose by evening, and many wearers keep two.

Goes well with

Trigger finger resting splint for night-time rest, and Isotoner compression gloves when swelling is the main problem.

A padded resting splint that keeps a trigger finger straight so the tendon can settle. A lightweight aluminium stay inside a breathable neoprene wrap stops the joint bending and catching; strong hook-and-loop fasteners hold it without slipping. One size fits any finger on either hand, up to about 7.5 cm around.

Who it's for

Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis), and any stiff or painful finger that needs resting, especially overnight. Sold singly.

Details

• Universal: index, middle, ring or little finger, left or right
• Built-in aluminium support, breathable neoprene
• Adjustable hook-and-loop closure

Goes well with

For daytime, an Oval-8 ring splint holds the joint without straps. Our guide, choosing the right finger splint, compares the options.

TRIGGER FINGER SPLINTS PRO - PALM BASED 

Universal Sized , multiple application Trigger Finger Splint

One size fits most fingers including the index, middle, ring, pinky finger, or trigger thumb left and right hands.

The splint has multiple applications to assist in managing a range of individual finger ailments.

Secur hook and loop straps are provided to fasten around hand or trigger thumb if required. Assists in immobilizing the different finger knuckles with this splint- including IP, MCP, PIP and DIP joint.

Ideal for use on finger stiffness, osteoarthritis, finger pain, clicking & popping, and reducing your finger from catching or locking. May assist in accelerating recovery to the trigger finger or trigger thumb region.

This trigger finger splint can be worn at night when you are sleeping or during the day while typing, driving,

as well as used for treating conservatively to prevent finger surgery or pain relief after surgery.

A rigid finger splint is sewn inside the finger brace and has a brushed soft nylon fabric against the skin and palm.

Clean Tips: Hand wash in cool water, with mild soap and air dried- We don't suggest machine wash.

Package Includes: Finger Splint and Secur Hook & Loop tape fastener

A spring-loaded finger splint that gently pulls a stiff PIP joint back towards straight. The LMB L501 applies about 227 g (8 oz) of extension force when the joint is at 15 degrees of flexion, spread evenly by a contoured centre pad. It is indicated where the PIP joint is short of full extension by 45 degrees or less.

Who it's for

Hand therapists treating PIP joint tightness after fracture, tendon repair, Dupuytren's release or a boutonnière injury. The two side wires bend, so the force can be adjusted and the splint eased as swelling changes.

Getting the size right

With the finger straight, measure from the distal palmar crease to the crease at the fingertip joint, then match the length below.

Goes well with

Sof-Stretch extension splint for a padded alternative, and the Oval-8 once the joint needs holding rather than stretching.

Digiflex works each finger on its own. Four spring-loaded buttons and a palm bar let you strengthen every digit separately, so a strong finger can't cover for a weak one. Five colour-coded resistances make it easy to test, chart progress and step up.

Who it's for

Hand therapists rebuilding grip after fracture, tendon repair or arthritis; musicians, climbers and anyone whose work depends on finger strength.

Choosing a resistance

Buy one colour for a patient, or the set of five for a clinic.

A Capener-style spring coil splint that straightens a tight PIP joint while still letting the finger bend. Coil springs on both sides of the joint give balanced dynamic extension of about 227 g (8 oz) at 15 degrees of flexion, so the splint doesn't twist as the finger straightens. Curved pads spread the pressure; the low profile fits under a glove or sleeve.

Who it's for

Hand therapists treating PIP flexion contractures and boutonnière deformity where the contracture is up to 45 degrees and feels elastic when stretched. Gives some MP support as well. Latex-free.

Getting the size right

Measure from the distal palmar crease to the DIP joint with the finger extended.

Foam blocks that squeeze easily and recover slowly, for gentle grip exercise where putty is too much. Made of 100% open-cell memory foam in four resistances, so a therapist can build a low-resistance squeezing program and step it up. Each block is 75 mm x 44 mm x 44 mm; a pack holds sixteen.

Who it's for

Early hand rehab after injury or surgery, arthritis, stroke recovery, and aged-care and paediatric programs where a soft, light exerciser is safer and more comfortable than a spring device.

Choosing a resistance

Start on yellow for the weakest grip and move up. The assorted pack gives four of each colour for a clinic.

SecurLite Grip Strength Guide

SecurForm is the forgiving all-rounder among low-temperature thermoplastics. Minimum-to-moderate stretch means the material does what you ask and not more; moderate drape gives good contour under light pressure; and because it has only minimal memory, you can reheat and adjust a splint a few times without it thinning or shrinking. A powder coating gives it a slightly tacky feel that holds it in place while you work.

Who it's for

Hand therapists and orthotists making static and dynamic splints for adults and children, and post-burn and post-surgical positioning. If you are new to splinting, or you train students, this is the material to start on.

Choosing a sheet

• 2.4 mm: lighter, more drape; finger and hand-based splints.
• 3.2 mm: more rigid; wrist, forearm and larger splints.
• Perforated (1%) for airflow on splints worn for long periods; solid for maximum strength and a clean surface.

Working with it

Handle it flat and form in a gravity-assisted position with smooth, gentle movements. A wet bond holds firmly but can be pulled apart once cool; dry-heat two surfaces for a strong bond, or scrape off the coating and dry-heat for a permanent one. Edges self-seal, so splints look finished without extra work. Beige resists fingerprints and stains.

Choosing a resistance

Match the colour to the patient's tested grip strength (kg). Start weak patients on yellow; move through red, green and blue for medium-grade work; use purple and dark green for strong patients finishing a strengthening program.

Care and storage

• Store at room temperature; warm days can make putty tacky
• Keep it off fabric and textured surfaces, and return it to the tub after use
• Non-toxic silicone, but not for eating; seek medical advice if swallowed
