How to use McKie Thumb Splints?

Put the thumb through the thumb hole. Orient the splint so that the stitching follows the crest of the web between the thumb and index finger. Snug to fit comfortably. Draw the strap of the splint at an angle so that it drops below the corner of the palm. (For medical personnel, it sits below the pisiform bone). Pull the split strap so it continues around the back of the hand all the way around again to the palm side.
Depending on your intent, you can attach the hook tape in either of 2 ways:
- If you are experiencing thumb pain or arthritis at the base of the thumb (C-M-C joint), direct the pull of the strap up into the base of the thumb metacarpal as illustrated.
- If you are attempting to improve grasp quality, attach the hook tape to put mild pressure on the head of the thumb metacarpal.

How to size Thumb Splint?

Use A and B measurements to determine which size splint you should order.

Measurement A Measure to the 1/10th of a centimeter the circumference of the far or distal thumb joint.
Measurement B Measure to the 1/10th of a centimeter the distance on the palm from the distal thumb joint to the center of the wrist crease.
Measurement F (only used for custom splints) Measure from the distal thumb crease to the bottom of the web space.
Refer to Chart On the appropriate chart (see links below), find the the square where measurements A and B meet. The square should fall within a bold area corresponding to the correct size. If Neonatal use only Measurement A an Neonatal Sizing and refer to the neonatal chart for neonatal sizing.
Example:
- If Measurement A = 5.2 centimeters and Measurement B = 6.0 centimeters, then splint size = P5
Record Sizes Note splint size and left or right hand, as this is required when ordering. If ordering offline, the catalog number for the above example would be P5-L (left hand) or P5-R (right hand).
