Fingers tend to be most prone to injuries in falls, accidents, and burns, and de-spite this, the treatment options tend to be highly limited, costly, deprived of ergonomics conforming to the patient requirements. CAD modeling offers a considerable solution for providing a product design for patient-specific splint for musculoskeletal while three dimensional model simulations provides a way to build comfortable splints with the least material use and most efficient mechanical and thermal capabilities. This hence benefits us in reducing material wastage and reducing cost. Reduction in material results in efficient heat dissipation which in-creases the breathability of the patient’s finger inside the splint and makes the splint sweat efficient and hence conforming to the patient requirements with in-creased ergonomics and maintaining hygiene
