Light, open structure, and antibacterial – Silversplints offer numerous benefits: they are
gentle on the skin, have a breathable structure, and a custom-fit design.
Silversplints provide proven pain relief for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis,
hyperextension, and joint laxity due to EDS and HMS.
As an ISO 13485 certified company, We Design guarantees the highest quality, ensuring
that users can rely on sustainable and effective support.

What are Silversplints?

Silversplints are custom-made, elegant orthopaedic splints crafted from high-quality silver. Designed to support and protect joints, they are often used to manage conditions such as:

  • arthritis
  • hypermobility syndrome and Ehler-Danlos syndrome
  • joint instability.

Unlike traditional splints, Silversplints are discreet and stylish, allowing for greater comfort and confidence in daily life. They help maintain joint alignment, reduce pain, and improve hand function without restricting movement. Silversplints are ideal for individuals seeking a functional yet attractive solution to support their hands, fingers, or thumbs while managing chronic joint conditions.

The key benefits of Silver splints are:

 

  • Pain Reduction: They help relieve joint pain by providing gentle support and stability.

  • Joint Protection: They prevent further joint damage by limiting harmful movements while allowing safe motion.

  • Improved Function: By stabilizing the joints, they enhance hand strength, grip, and overall function.

  • Discreet Appearance: Their sleek, jewellery-like design blends easily into everyday life, offering a stylish alternative to bulky splints.

  • Durability: Made from high-quality silver, they are strong, long-lasting, and resistant to wear.

  • Custom Fit: Each splint is individually crafted to fit perfectly, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.

  • Hygiene: silver is known for its antibacterial properties
  • Cleanliness: silver does not hold dirt and can be worn while washing hands or showering
  • Sustainability: silver is 100% recycled without waste
  • Breathability: the open structure does not cause perspiration
