The Tynor Mallet Finger Splint (F-05) is a simple, rigid splint designed to hold the fingertip (distal interphalangeal, or DIP, joint) in a slightly extended position — the key to managing mallet finger. Made from a malleable, aluminium-coated body with a soft Ethafoam lining, it gently immobilises the last finger joint while still allowing the middle (PIP) joint to move freely. An adjustable hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastener gives a gentle, secure grip, and the universal, ambidextrous design fits most fingers on either hand. Simple to apply, comfortable to wear and easy to keep clean.
- Rigid splint — A rigid, malleable aluminium-coated body provides strong immobilisation of the fingertip (DIP) joint.
- Ideal for left or right hand — Universal, ambidextrous design fits most fingers on either hand.
- Easy to use — Simple to apply and remove, with high patient compliance.
- Ethafoam lining — A soft foam lining cushions the finger for comfortable wear.
- Allows PIP movement — Immobilises the fingertip joint while leaving the middle finger joint free to move.
- Adjustable Velcro fastener — A hook-and-loop strap gives a gentle, secure and adjustable fit.
The Tynor Mallet Finger Splint is intended to immobilise and support the fingertip (DIP) joint in extension, under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Mallet finger (drooping fingertip from an extensor tendon injury)
- Distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint injuries
- Support of the distal finger joint during rest and recovery
- Post-surgical support of the fingertip joint
ⓘ Important: For mallet finger, the DIP joint usually needs to be kept continuously in extension for the period advised by your clinician. Follow your healthcare professional's instructions on wear time and removal.
Use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Avoid letting the fingertip bend during the prescribed treatment period.
- Slide the splint over the fingertip so it supports the last finger joint (DIP) in a straight, slightly extended position.
- Shape the malleable splint if needed for a comfortable, snug fit.
- Fasten the hook-and-loop strap for a gentle, secure hold.
- Keep the fingertip supported in extension for the period advised by your clinician; remove regularly for cleaning and skin checks as directed.

Kept my finger super straight, and very easy to use.
Highly recommended!!!
I have a comminuted fracture on my distal phalanx (middle finger). It has been unbearably painful but this Mallet Finger Splint (Universal) by Tynor Australia has been a lifesaver. I tried the finger cot version but it was too large (I perhaps ordered the wrong size) & cumbersome, which meant I didn’t wear it as often. I have managed to keep this splint on from morning till night & it has really helped alleviate a lot of the pain. Thank you Tynor for a wonderful product. My GP even asked me where I purchased it, and commented these should be more readily available across Australia for all types of finger injuries.
Hello,
Thank you so much for your kind words, Joanne. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. :-)
This finger splint is perfect. The metal bottom bends easily to the proper shape. It allows air to circulate. It won't slip off the finger, but it's comfortable to wear. And this particular brand is well made. I’d highly recommend it! 😃
The mallet finger splint is lightweight and well designed for the purpose. The metal can be bent slightly so that the tip of the finger is bent upwards a little in the correct position for healing. Furthermore, the product arrived quickly and was delivered to the door.
