One rule matters above all in mallet finger care: the fingertip stays straight, day and night, for weeks, and a splint like the BL-86222 is how that happens. It is a padded aluminium finger splint made by Xiamen Benli Medical Technology under the AULEXMED name, with an aluminium support that the manufacturer describes as stable and adjustable in angle.

The padded inner lining is described as providing comfort and skin protection, and the simple fastening design as making the splint easy to put on and take off. In the photograph, a blue padded splint runs along the index finger and is held by two white straps, one near the tip and one near the base. Because the aluminium bends by hand, the same splint can hold a fingertip straight for a mallet injury or support a finger at a gentle curve after a sprain.

AULEXMED lists finger fractures such as phalangeal fractures, mallet finger, tendon or ligament strain, hyperextension or flexion limitation, discomfort after finger joint injury and post-operative finger fixation. A Cochrane review of four trials with 278 participants found that mallet finger treatment commonly involves splinting the fingertip for six or more weeks, with insufficient evidence to choose between splint types. Fractures with rotation or shortening need a hand surgery opinion first, and joints outside the splint should keep moving throughout.

Three sizes are listed in blue: S, M, and L. Buyers can order them in more than 80 countries through Medigear.uk, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead time details.

Emergency departments and minor injury units can issue the BL-86222 for mallet finger and stable finger injuries after assessment, sizing it by finger length and bending it to the angle the clinician sets. Hand therapy services can manage the long splinting period for mallet finger by checking the skin and teaching patients to change the splint without letting the fingertip drop. Fracture clinics and hand surgery services can use it for stable phalangeal fractures and after finger surgery where their protocol allows a prefabricated splint. Sports medicine teams and occupational health services can use it for finger sprains and strains once a fracture has been excluded and a date for starting movement is planned.

The workflow carries risks. Fractures that leave the finger rotated or shortened, open wounds, and suspected tendon cuts need a hand surgery opinion before choosing any splint. During a mallet regime, the fingertip must not bend when the splint is changed, the skin over the back of the joint needs regular checks, and damp padding should be dried or replaced. Joints outside the splint should keep moving, and every patient needs a review date and a clear point of contact—written instructions on how to change the splint safely help patients follow a long-term regimen at home.

NHS trusts and public health systems abroad purchase through procurement routes that ask for a device's conformity status and registration. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

Bendable aluminium

The aluminium support can be bent to the angle the clinician needs, according to AULEXMED. One splint can suit several finger positions, so a service needs only a few variants.

An adjustable angle

The angle is described as adjustable, which suits both straight fingertip splinting and other prescribed positions. It is set before the splint goes on and checked once the finger is in place.

A padded lining

The inner lining is padded for comfort and skin protection, the manufacturer says. Padding matters over the knuckle and fingertip, where pressure marks appear first.

Simple fastening

The fastening design is described as simple, making the splint easy to put on and take off. That helps patients who change it at home, often with a carer's help.

Sized by finger length

S, M and L are listed by finger length. Fitters can match the splint to the injured finger quickly, using a simple measurement.

Two straps

Two straps hold the splint in the photograph, one near the tip and one near the base. Each can be adjusted independently, so you can ease pressure at one point without loosening the whole splint.

Suited to long regimes

A splint that is easy to change without moving the fingertip suits the six weeks or more of mallet finger care. Patients can keep the skin clean and dry through the regime.

No electrical parts

The splint has no batteries or electronics, so no electrical safety testing applies, and WEEE does not cover it. Nothing needs servicing between uses, and care follows the label.

Records for buyers

Among the records AULEXMED cites are ISO 13485:2016 certification of its factory and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team shares the documents that apply to the BL-86222 for procurement files.

Aluminium support

An aluminium support runs the length of the splint, according to the specification. It gives the splint its shape and can be bent by hand.

High stability

The support provides high stability. It holds the finger in the set position until the clinician changes it.

Adjustable angle

The angle can be adjusted by bending the aluminium. The clinician sets it before fitting.

Padded inner lining

A padded lining sits against the skin, per the specification. It is described as comfortable and should be kept dry.

Skin protection

The padding is described as protecting the skin. Skin over the joints is still checked regularly.

Blue foam

Blue foam lines the splint in the photograph. It covers the aluminium on the skin side so no metal touches the finger.

Tip strap

A white strap holds the splint near the fingertip, as shown in the photograph. It keeps the tip in line.

Base strap

A second strap sits near the base of the finger in the photograph. It anchors the splint.

Simple fastening

The fastening design is described as simple. It is meant to make the splint easy to put on and take off.

Sizes S, M and L

Three sizes are listed, by finger length. The fitter measures the injured finger to choose a size, and the size chart confirms the measuring point.

Finger length figures

S is 2.17 in, M is 3.15 in, and L is 3.74 in. That is about 5.5, 8 and 9.5 cm.

Blue colourway

The splint is listed in blue, so stock runs to one colour line. The straps are white in the photograph.

Single-finger design

The splint fits one finger at a time, as photographed. Neighbouring fingers stay free.

Listed indications

The sheet lists finger fractures such as phalangeal fractures, mallet finger, tendon or ligament strain, hyperextension or flexion limitation, discomfort after finger joint injury, and post-operative fixation. The questions above take each in turn.

Mechanical simplicity

The splint has no moving parts beyond its straps. There is nothing to service.

Class I range

AULEXMED describes its products as Class I medical devices. The BL-86222 class is stated in its declaration of conformity.

The BL-86222 is a blue padded aluminium finger splint with an adjustable angle and simple strap fastening, in sizes S, M and L by finger length. It suits mallet finger, where the fingertip is kept straight for six or more weeks, and stable finger fractures, sprains and post-operative fixation as the clinician directs. Fractures with rotation or shortening need a hand surgery opinion first, and the skin over the joint needs regular checks. Before ordering, confirm whether the size refers to finger or splint length, whether the splint can be trimmed, and what the straps are made of. Medigear.uk lists the BL-86222 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for fitting staff.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The clinician bends the aluminium to the required angle, places the splint along the finger with the padding against the skin, and fastens the straps. Only the joints that need holding should be immobilised, so the clinician checks the length and position before the patient leaves. The straps should be firm but never tight enough to change the colour of the fingertip.

The aluminium support is adjustable so that the clinician can bend it by hand to the desired position. Bend it off the finger, then check it on the finger. Repeated bending at the same point can weaken the metal, so set the shape once and leave it.

Mallet finger treatment usually holds the fingertip joint straight in a splint for six or more weeks, continuously, as the Cochrane review describes. If the fingertip bends even briefly during that time, healing can be set back, so patients need clear instructions. The clinician then decides when the splint can come off in stages.

The usual method is to rest the hand flat on a table, so the fingertip stays straight while the splint is removed, the skin is cleaned and dried, and the splint is put back. Many patients find it easier with someone to help. Hand therapy services often teach this at the first visit.

AULEXMED lists finger fractures such as phalangeal fractures. A clinician should examine the finger and arrange an X-ray, because a fracture that leaves the finger rotated or shortened needs an opinion from a hand surgeon. Stable fractures are often managed with a splint for a period the fracture clinic sets.

Sprains and hyperextension injuries usually need only short protection before gentle movement starts, as the clinician advises. After finger surgery, the surgeon's protocol decides the angle and how long the splint stays on. In every case, joints that don't need support should keep moving.

The sheet lists sizes by finger length: S 2.17 in, M 3.15 in and L 3.74 in. The usual approach is to measure the injured finger and choose the nearest size, and the manufacturer's size chart can confirm how that length is measured. Please ask the enquiry team whether the splint can be trimmed.

For mallet finger, continuous wear for six or more weeks is typical, often followed by a period of night wear as the clinician directs. Fractures and sprains follow the clinic's own timelines. Avoid stiffness by keeping them free and active.

Numbness, a pale or blue fingertip, or swelling that keeps building mean the straps need loosening. Redness or soreness over the back of the fingertip joint is common with mallet splints and should be checked before the skin breaks. Review pain that keeps increasing promptly.

The care label supplied with the splint sets the method. Damp padding can soften the skin, so keep the lining dry and dry the skin thoroughly whenever the splint is changed. Each splint stays with one patient.

A finger splint of this kind is normally a Class I device under UK MDR 2002, and the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which the enquiry team shares, sets out its class. CE-marked devices are still recognised in Great Britain under transitional arrangements, and the MHRA consulted in 2026 on whether to keep that recognition indefinitely. The device must be registered with the MHRA before supply in Great Britain, through a UK Responsible Person where the manufacturer is based abroad. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the enquiry team shares the manufacturer's documentation for the country the unit is going to.

Xiamen Benli Medical Technology Co., Ltd makes the splint in Xiamen, China, and supplies it under the AULEXMED brand. Its stated records include ISO 13485:2016 certification for the manufacturing site and FDA establishment registration with device listings. It also points to EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families and an ISO 10993-23 skin-irritation report for a mapped material, so the documentation request should ask which apply to this splint.
