Have you tried the sandwich splint? A method of preventing hand deformities in children.

Abstract
The prevention of contractures of the burned hand is an arduous problem in the young pediatric burn patient. Difficulty in applying splints, along with the time-consuming fabrication of complex splints, led to the development of the "sandwich" splint. This easily produced splint provides a means of preventing and treating hand deformities in this patient age group. Positive results have been noted with the use of this splint in conjunction with the patient's usual active physical therapy program.
