Product Description The Dr. Jill’s Hammer Toe Straightener Splint provides gentle positional support for flexible hammer toes, crooked toes and overlapping toes. Soft elasticized loops fit around the affected toe or toes and can be adjusted to create a secure but comfortable fit. The loops encourage the toes toward a straighter position during wear without using rigid plastic or bulky hardware. A padded double-layer foam base rests beneath the toes and ball of the foot. This helps cushion the forefoot while providing a stable platform for the adjustable loops. The low-profile design can fit inside many everyday shoes when adequate width and depth are available. Choose the Single Toe Splint, SKU HT-101, to support one affected toe, or the Double Toe Splint, SKU HT-102, to support two adjacent toes. Both versions are one size fits most, can be worn on either foot and include one splint per package. This product provides temporary positioning and cushioning during wear. It does not permanently correct a rigid hammer-toe deformity.

How to Use Single Toe Version Begin with a clean, completely dry foot. Place the padded foam base beneath the affected toe and ball of the foot. Gently open the adjustable loop. Slide the affected toe through the loop. Pull the adjustable end until the loop feels secure. Do not tighten the loop enough to restrict circulation. Smooth the foam base so it lies flat. Put on a sock and properly fitting shoe with adequate depth. Walk briefly and reassess the fit. Double Toe Version Place the foam pad beneath the two affected toes. Open both adjustable loops. Insert one affected toe through each loop. Adjust each loop separately. Confirm that neither loop is excessively tight. Keep the foam base flat beneath the forefoot. Check the skin and circulation after initial use. Schaan recommends applying the product to a clean, dry foot, placing the pad beneath the toes and adjusting the loops without overtightening them. Its instructions also advise removing the cushion for at least three to four hours per day to allow the skin to breathe. Care Instructions Hand wash with mild soap and water Rinse thoroughly Press flat with a clean towel to remove excess moisture Air dry completely before reuse Do not machine wash Do not machine dry Do not use bleach Avoid direct heat Make sure the elastic loops are completely dry before wearing Replace if the foam or elastic becomes damaged These care instructions are published for the exact Dr. Jill’s Hammer Toe Regulator sold by Schaan Healthcare. Replacement Guidance Replace the splint when: The elastic loop becomes stretched or loose The loop tears or frays The foam base becomes permanently compressed The pad no longer remains positioned The foam separates into layers The product becomes difficult to clean The splint no longer provides comfortable support The customer’s toe position or foot shape changes Product lifespan depends on care, frequency of use and individual activity level. Safety Information Do not use over an open, infected or draining wound. Do not tighten the loops enough to cause numbness, tingling or discolouration. Stop use if pain or irritation increases. Inspect the skin after initial and extended wear. Ensure the foam pad lies flat and does not bunch beneath the foot. Confirm that the shoe has adequate width and depth. Do not use the product to force a rigid toe into position. People with diabetes, neuropathy, poor circulation or reduced sensation should consult a healthcare professional before use. Persistent or worsening toe pain should be evaluated by a podiatrist or physician. Keep away from children and pets. The distributor advises discontinuing use and consulting a podiatrist or physician if irritation, discomfort or another problem develops. Frequently Asked Questions What is a Hammer Toe Straightener Splint? It is a soft positioning support, commonly called a Budin Splint, that uses adjustable toe loops and a padded forefoot base to support flexible crooked, overlapping or hammer toes.

Can it be used on either foot? Yes. Both versions have a universal left-or-right-foot design. What size is it? Both versions are one size fits most. Does it permanently straighten hammer toes? No. It provides temporary positioning support while worn. It does not permanently correct a structural or rigid toe deformity. Can it be worn inside shoes? Yes, provided the footwear has enough width and depth to accommodate the splint without creating additional pressure. Does the pad cushion the ball of the foot? Yes. The splint has a double-layer foam base positioned beneath the forefoot. Is it washable? Yes. It may be hand washed with mild soap and water and then air dried completely. How tight should the toe loop be? It should be secure enough to remain positioned but should not cause numbness, throbbing, discolouration or restricted circulation.
