MedSpec Boxer Splint
Th Boxer Splint is designed to manage 4th and 5th metacarpal fractures, commonly known as boxer’s fractures. It is suitable for both acute injury management and ongoing support throughout the healing process. The splint immobilises the ulnar side of the hand while maintaining comfort and allowing functional use where appropriate.
The Boxer Splint incorporates malleable aluminium stays on the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the hand. These stays can be easily contoured by clinicians to match individual hand anatomy and position the hand correctly for healing. This adjustability supports effective fracture stabilisation and alignment while remaining lightweight to minimise bulk and improve comfort during prolonged wear.
A moulded plastic clamshell design provides targeted support to the 4th and 5th metacarpals without unnecessary restriction. It protects the injured area from external impact while allowing free movement of the index and middle fingers, helping patients perform light daily activities.
The clamshell shape distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of pressure areas and skin irritation. Ventilation openings improve airflow and moisture control, enhancing comfort in warm Australian conditions. Easy to apply and remove, the splint supports hygiene, skin checks and regular clinical review.
Overall, the Boxer Splint offers a practical, durable and patient-friendly solution for ulnar-sided hand fractures, balancing stability, comfort and functional independence during recovery.
