The Budin Toe Splint is used to help align toes, overlapping toes, flexible hammer toes and claw toes. They can also be used for issues withe the plantar plate.
The Budin toe splint was named after Dr Harry A. Budin who was a podiatrist and Head of the Department of Orthodigita at what was the then First Institute of Podiatry. He wrote about the splint in his 1941 book, Principles and Practice of Orthodigita. The splint is still available commercially and can be used for one, two or three toes.
