finger splint
Fractured finger support
A finger splint is a rigid or semi-rigid device used to immobilize an injured finger, keeping it straight or in a fixed position while it heals.
Splints may be made of metal, plastic, or foam, and are used for fractures, sprains, or tendon injuries: The doctor fitted him with a finger splint after he jammed it playing basketball.
