What is Dupuytren's contracture?
Dupuytren's contracture is a progressive condition in which the tissue under the skin of the palm thickens into nodules and cords, gradually pulling the fingers toward the palm. In its early stages — before the fingers are fixed in a bent position — radiation can slow or halt progression and help preserve hand function.
DEEP-SRT™ for early disease
CureRays uses DEEP-SRT™ — Depth-Enabled, Epidermis-Protecting Superficial Radiation Therapy — to treat the nodules and cords while protecting the skin surface. It's most effective in early-stage disease, before significant contracture develops. Treatment is painless, requires no anesthesia, and has no downtime.
Who may benefit
- People with early nodules or cords but limited or no finger contracture
- Those wanting to slow progression and avoid or delay surgery
- Patients with the related foot condition, Ledderhose disease
