Finger Splint
A finger splint is a medical device used to immobilize and support a finger, typically to promote healing of fractures, dislocations, sprains, or other injuries. They are commonly utilized in the treatment of hand and finger trauma, and also for conditions causing joint instability.
Material:
- Aluminum: Lightweight and malleable, often used for custom fitting. Provides good support.
- Thermoplastic: Can be molded to the finger for a custom fit. Available in various rigidities.
- Fiberglass: Strong and lightweight, often used for more severe injuries requiring greater immobilization.
- Polyethylene: Less rigid, often used for soft tissue injuries or as a temporary splint.
- Metal (Steel): Used in more robust splints for complex fractures, though less common due to weight and discomfort.
- Fabric/Padded Materials: Used for comfort and to provide compression. Often combined with other materials.
Purpose:
- Fracture Immobilization: Maintaining alignment of broken bones during healing.
- Dislocation Reduction and Support: Holding a dislocated joint in proper position after reduction, preventing re-dislocation.
- Sprain/Strain Support: Providing stability and reducing movement in injured ligaments or tendons.
- Tendon Injury Protection: Protecting repaired or healing tendons.
- Joint Instability: Supporting joints prone to subluxation or dislocation.
- Post-Surgical Support: Protecting a finger after surgery.
Function:
Finger splints work by restricting motion of the injured finger. This limitation of movement reduces pain, prevents further damage, and allows the body to heal. They can be static (completely immobilizing) or dynamic (allowing some controlled movement). Dynamic splints often incorporate springs or elastic elements to gradually restore range of motion.
Usage Scenarios:
- Emergency First Aid: Temporary immobilization until professional medical care is available.
- Clinical Setting: Following diagnosis and treatment by a physician or hand therapist.
- Post-Operative Care: As prescribed by a surgeon.
- Rehabilitation: Used during the healing process to gradually regain function.
- Athletic Injuries: Support and protection during sports activities after injury recovery.
Common Types:
- Buddy Splint: A simple splint using tape or a small splint to connect an injured finger to an uninjured one for support.
- Stack Splint: Utilizes stackable finger splints to immobilize multiple fingers or provide customized support.
- Oval Splint: A pre-formed splint, often made of aluminum or thermoplastic, shaped to fit the finger.
- Dorsal Splint: A splint applied to the back of the finger.
- Volar Splint: A splint applied to the palm side of the finger.
- Dynamic Extension Splint: Used to prevent flexion contractures, often after tendon repair.
- Mallet Finger Splint: Specifically designed to immobilize the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, common for mallet finger injuries.
- Boutonniere Splint: Used to immobilize the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, common for Boutonniere deformity.
Finger splints fall under orthopedic appliances designed to support or immobilize a fracture or injury. Based on the provided information, the following HS codes are relevant:
-
9021100050: This HS code covers orthopedic or fracture appliances, specifically bone plates, screws, nails, and other internal fixation devices or appliances. While a finger splint isn’t an internal fixation device, it falls within the broader category of orthopedic appliances.
- 90: Chapter 90 – Instruments and appliances which are used in surgery, dentistry, medical, veterinary or surgical purposes.
- 21: Heading 21 – Instruments and appliances which are used in surgery, dentistry, medical, veterinary or surgical purposes.
- 100050: Subheading 100050 – Bone plates, screws and nails, and other internal fixation devices or appliances.
- Tax Rate Details: Basic tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff after 2025.4.2: 30.0%. Total tariff: 30.0%.
-
9021100090: This HS code covers other orthopedic or fracture appliances and parts and accessories thereof. A finger splint would likely be classified here if it doesn’t fit the more specific description of 9021100050.
- 90: Chapter 90 – Instruments and appliances which are used in surgery, dentistry, medical, veterinary or surgical purposes.
- 21: Heading 21 – Instruments and appliances which are used in surgery, dentistry, medical, veterinary or surgical purposes.
- 100090: Subheading 100090 – Other.
- Tax Rate Details: Basic tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff after 2025.4.2: 30.0%. Total tariff: 30.0%.
It is important to note that both HS codes have a total tariff of 30.0% after April 2, 2025. The specific classification will depend on the design and function of the finger splint.
