Budin Splint to Treat and Realign Painful Hammertoes

A Budin Splint is a medical device used to realign and treat painful hammertoes. Budin splints are also called hammertoe regulators and hammertoe straighteners. They are basicly a metatarsal pad with an adjustable elastic band. The band goes over the contracted digit and helps realign it. The cushioned base off loads the painful ball of foot. Over time when wearing the Budin splint a crooked hammertoe should slowly straighten.

Budin Splints have been around for decades due to the successful nature of its design. Atlas Biomechanics' Budin Splint are made in the USA and are composed of medical grade materials. The splint elastic band should not feel tight and should be place as far back on the digit as possible. Budin splints are also used as post-op hammertoe surgery splints to maintain the toe's correction. Never wear the hammertoe straightener if the pain gets worse.
