The DGT PIP is a proximal interphalangeal implant that treats osteoarthritic pain while allowing a more conservative solution to osteoarthritis treatment. Indeed, the DGT PIP implant is indicated for use in primary arthritis, arthritis disease, and root arthritis with associated pain and reduced function of the finger.
Features:
The DGT PIP implant is available in cementless styles. The implant is semi-constrained, with an intraprosthetic guide stem and metal to metal friction torque.
The DGT PIP is manufactured from stainless steel. The implant is covered with porocoat cobalt chrome.
DGT PIP implants undergo a Kolsterisation in order to increase friction and wear resistance.
DGT PIP is designed to be implanted without cement, however cement may be used if deemed necessary.
