Dupuytren Orthoses
FixxGlove™ Dorsal and Palmar Orthoses
Comfortable night orthoses designed for post surgical management of Dupuytren’s contracture.
FixxGlove is a static extension night orthosis/splint that is easy to put on and comfortable to wear. It has a built-in malleable/adjustable aluminum stay as well as straps that make it easy to take off. The comfortable design may increase patient compliance in long term treatment scenarios.
Medical literature proposes that a static extension orthosis/splint be worn at night for 1-8 months following surgical procedures such as Percutaneous Needle Fasciotomies (Percutaneous Needle Aponeurotomy) and Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum injections as well as Fascioectomies.
The FixxGlove is washable in temperatures below 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove stay before washing.
Latex Free.
Please note that the FixxGlove should not be worn without it being recommended by a medical professional. Please make sure that a professional made the required measurements to insure a proper fit. Only wear the FixxGloves after wounds are healed.
