Gentle, Steady Finger Straightening with the Rolyan Sof-Stretch Extension Splint
The Rolyan Sof-Stretch Extension Splint uses dynamic force to ease a tight PIP joint into extension, with minimal extension at the knuckle (MCP joint). It suits PIP joint tightness, contractures and boutonniere deformity, and you can shape it to your finger by stretching and pressing the wires.
Why You'll Love the Rolyan Sof-Stretch Extension Splint
- Fits your finger. The plastic-coated wires stretch and press into shape, and they make room when swelling comes and goes.
- Even pressure. An angled distal pad gives full surface contact on the finger, so pressure is spread rather than pinching.
- Easy to put on the right way. A "P" on the proximal pad shows which end sits near the palm.
- Simple to care for. Latex free, and it cleans with warm water and mild soap. Let it air dry before you put it back on.
Everyday joint management
The Sof-Stretch is suited to regular management of fractures, jamming injuries and joint stiffness. Wear it through the day as your therapist directs, rinse it at night and let it dry while you sleep. If the splint needs big changes to fit, the next size up is usually the better choice.
The Rolyan Sof-Stretch Extension Splint in a nutshell
- Dynamic extension: assists the PIP joint into extension.
- Adjustable wires: plastic coated, shaped by hand.
- Angled distal pad: even pressure on the finger.
- Two colours: white or black in every size.
Choosing the right size and colour
Size is set by finger length, measured on the matching finger of your other hand.
- Use the unaffected hand. Measure the same finger on the other hand, held straight.
- Measure the length. Go from the distal palmar crease (where the finger meets the palm) to the distal finger crease (the crease at the last joint).
- Pick the size closest to your measurement. If you're between two sizes, email us. If the splint would need big changes to fit, the next size up is usually the better choice.
- Choose the colour. White or black, in every size.
| Size | Finger length |
| X-Small | 5.1cm |
| Small | 6.4cm |
| Medium | 7.6cm |
| Large | 8.9cm |
| X-Large | 10.2cm |
Is it the right extension splint for you?
- A good fit: PIP joint tightness, contractures and boutonniere deformity, or stiffness after fractures and jamming injuries, where your therapist wants a gentle dynamic stretch.
- Check with your therapist first: on how long to wear it each day, and if there's a lot of swelling.
- Also consider: the Rolyan Sof-Stretch Short Extension Splint if the knuckle needs to bend freely.
If you're unsure whether this is right for you, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider or hand therapist.
