A digit pad for treating trigger finger and trigger thumb includes a digit
band which is slid over the affected digit to a position between the PIP
and the MCP joints and a palm pad which extends from the proximal end of
the digit band toward the wrist, the palm pad being dimensioned and
positioned to overlie a portion of the palm to at least cover the A1
pulley, the proximal end of the palm pad extending beyond the A1 pulley,
but not beyond the proximal palmer crease, the palm pad being at least as
wide as the A1 pulley and being formed of a material which is soft,
flexible, resilient and has a sufficient density to protect the palm area
which it overlies.
