Reclaim quality of life with a minimally invasive treatment for Dupuytren contracture
A Dupuytren contracture treatment that helps patients regain comfort and range of motion with a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure.
Why Do PIP Joint Contractures Worsen Over Time?
Dupuytren contracture stems from a force imbalance across the joint caused by too much flexion torque, not enough extension torque, or a combination of the two. This leads to fingers curling in and becoming “stuck”, making everyday tasks harder. Without treatment, the contracture worsens, making it increasingly difficult to move fingers freely.
