Regain range of motion with minimally invasive finger surgery
PIP joint contracture treatment that helps patients regain range of motion, comfort, and control in daily life without complicated, painful procedures.
Is a PIP joint contracture taking away your independence?
Contractures don’t just limit motion in one or two fingers, but can impact the range of motion in your entire hand, restricting grip, dexterity, and stealing your independence.
Digit Widget stops the progression and restores function, facilitating joint extension, rapid recovery, and freedom of movement through a minimally invasive procedure.

FAQs
Is there a replacement for finger surgery?
While this depends on your condition and your doctor, we can say that there is no true replacement for surgery when structural correction is needed. However, in some cases, devices like the Digit Widget can serve as a minimally invasive tool to address severe PIP flexion contractures. It’s not a non-surgical alternative—but a gentler, outpatient form of treatment that may help avoid more aggressive procedures like joint release or amputation.
Is there a way to treat a finger pulley rupture when the finger is contracted?
Yes. Digit Widget provides a hand injury treatment option for pulley rupture that is both minimally invasive and low in trauma. After a minor surgical procedure to install the device, it works gradually and without pain to restore finger extension, facilitating the next steps in contracture treatment.
Can I use my hand during the Digit Widget treatment?
Yes. Unlike other hand injury treatments that restrict activity, Digit Widget allows patients to maintain basic hand function throughout treatment. It preserves flexion while restoring extension, helping you to stay active.
Is Digit Widget effective for post-stroke contractures?
Absolutely. Stroke survivors with curled or stiff fingers can benefit from Digit Widget’s progressive extension approach. It offers an effective and minimally invasive form of finger surgery to support recovery and daily hand use.
