Medical professionals typically recommend a splint be used in the treatment of a broken finger. Instead of a bulky metal splint, buddy wrapping uses the healthy finger directly next to the broken finger to act as a splint. Simply loop a ZenToes buddy wrap on the healthy finger, then wrap the foam-lined fabric strip around your broken finger and adjust as needed. The hook and loop fastener will keep the buddy wrap snugly around your fingers, preventing them from moving, which relieves pain and aids in the healing process. ZenToes finger wraps are latex-free, washable and reusable which makes them a great alternative to sticky medical tape that can irritate sensitive skin and must be replaced repeatedly.
