DIGITALIS
Product description
Elastomeric silicone spacers for arthroplasty of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the hand. The device consists of a silicone body that replaces the MCP or PIP joint, allowing to restore the natural flexion-extension movement of the affected finger.
- Stems with anti-rotational design
- Hinge with dorsal “T” to prevent hyper-extension
- Pre-flexion angle (15° for PIP implants and 30° for MCP implants) to respect the normal position of the fingers and avoid an overload of the silicone material
- Designed to ensure 0-70° PIP joint mobility and 0-90° MCP joint mobility
Indications for use
Used in all severe forms of arthritis, such as:
- Arthrosis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Joint surfaces destroyed
- Joints that are ankylosed or have limited range of motion
- Non-functional joints due to inadequate bone alignment
