Realign DIP or PIP joints affected by osteoarthritis, Heberden’s & Bouchard’s nodes, or collateral ligament injury with the 3pp Side Step Splint. Its adjustable static-progressive design helps reduce joint deviation, while its easy one-handed application allows for 10-20 minute wear several times a day for optimal alignment. The corrective force can be adjusted to personal tolerance for maximum compliance. After improved alignment is achieved, wear the Side Step Splint at night as a retainer.
