Can anyone point me to a generic splint that would force my little finger erect? My finger was treated with Xiaflex recently which was followed by a custom splint made by the Occ. Therapist. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do enough to encourage the little finger to be erect, now that my swelling has gone down considerably from when the splint was formed. Rather than go back to therapy for a revision, I thought someone on this site might have a recommendation. I plan to use the splint nightly for as long as I can, as I understand that to be an integral part of the therapy.

Are you looking for a dynamic splint that forces your finger eventually in a straight position? Dynamic splints are typically day splints and are worn only for a few hours per day. Two examples are on https://www.dupuytren-online.info/dupuyt...-splinting.html . I am not sure whether they are available as standard products, probably they must be made custom. Should the splint succeed in straightening your finger you probably have to continue wearing it because otherwise the contracture will return.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was looking for a part time splint, to wear only at night, to encourage my little finger on the RH to stay erect. I will probably get that soft splint from HailiiCare as it's about the same cost as going to the Therapist to get fitted for a new one.
