A great many hand injuries usually involve the fingers. Things like a jammed finger or an injured joint can cause you a variety of problems when attempting to complete simple tasks. A great little item that you can add to your home-made first aid kit is a set of finger splints. They come in different sizes and also combo packs with different sizes included in each pack. These small splints will allow you to immobilize the injured finger and still retain a fair amount of use of your hand. It will also help to prevent further injury to the "damaged digit".
If you need to be a little fugal in your efforts, you can make an expedient finger splint by using a couple of wooden popsicle sticks and a little duct tape in an emergency situation until proper treatment can be obtained.
