What is DIGIT?

DIGIT (patent pending) is a precision-fit finger splint designed to support and protect the DIP joint during healing. It’s ideal for mallet finger, stable distal phalanx fractures, collateral ligament sprains, and other soft-tissue injuries requiring controlled DIP extension.

DIGIT holds the fingertip in the exact posture needed for tendon healing—without the bulk, pressure points, or sizing guesswork of traditional splints.

Why DIGIT works.

Digitally designed.
3D printed.
Clinician trusted.

Anatomy-Driven Fit
Built on real-world finger anthropometry, independent width and height measurements that match how DIP joints actually vary. No guesswork. Just a splint that fits like a glove.

Stabilization that Stays Put
DIGIT holds the DIP in reliable extension with a low-profile geometry that avoids pressure points and slippage. The position is precise, predictable, and designed to protect the tendon throughout healing.

Better Than Legacy
Legacy mallet splints assume fingers are uniform cylinders. DIGIT doesn’t. With more width options, cleaner contours, and less bulk, it delivers stronger immobilization and better comfort, without foam or casting.

Clinic-Ready, Patient-Friendly
Shelf-ready, reimbursement-aligned, and instantly fit in seconds. DIGIT keeps workflows simple and keeps patients in continuous extension, the single most important factor for tendon healing.

Place, Align, Heal
Slide it on, confirm alignment, and let recovery begin where you are.

Why choose DIGIT?

Healing without the hassle.

Healing a fingertip injury shouldn’t require long waits, makeshift repairs, or constant adjustments. DIGIT delivers a stable, comfortable fit in clinic or urgent care, so the DIP stays straight, the tendon stays protected, and the healing stays on track. Less slipping. Less frustration. Better motion in the long run.

Clinical Indications

mign’s DIGIT is indicated for DIP injuries requiring controlled extension to protect the terminal tendon and stabilize the distal phalanx:

  • Mallet finger (closed terminal extensor tendon injury)

  • Extensor tendon rupture or avulsion fracture

  • Post-operative extensor tendon repair

  • Chronic mallet deformity

  • DIP joint protection after trauma

How to fit DIGIT

  1. Select the size
    Use the mign sizing tool to choose the correct fit for the distal phalanx, secure, not constricting. Size using the same digit on the uninjured hand; if the injured side is swollen or the fit is tight, size up.

  2. Position the fingertip
    Extend the DIP into neutral, uninterrupted extension. This position is essential for protecting the terminal tendon throughout healing.

  3. Slide it on
    Guide DIGIT over the fingertip with the dorsal ridge aligned to maintain extension. The splint should seat cleanly without rotation or pressure at the nail or pad.

  4. Secure the strap
    Tighten the strap for locked-in precision. The right fit stays on during activity but does not disrupt circulation. Check for blanching and size up if needed.
