Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT
The Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT is a dynamic extension brace for patients with Dupuytren’s contracture. The patented design applies a targeted, dynamic extension force to individual fingers. The innovative leaf spring system exerts a gentle stretching force on Dupuytren cords. When worn regularly for set periods, which applies a constant extension force, it is intended to lessen the angle of contracture or to stop it from increasing.
The Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT can be used as first-line conservative treatment or in combination with other therapy. Both pre- and postoperative. When and for how long it should be worn each day are decided depending on the severity of the condition, to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Treatment goal:
- Contracture reduction as primary therapy
- Complementing other treatments by reducing (residual) contractures
- Helping to slow the progression of an early or existing contracture
- Contributing to the maintenance of results after contracture treatment
Remain comfortable and move freely during therapy
Prescribing a treatment plan means patients can have treatment in their own environment, while still being able to perform activities of normal daily living. Following an initial settling-in period, the extension force applied by the orthosis can be adjusted to suit. For the remaining treatment, a balance is struck between duration of wearing sessions, and patient comfort.
