What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger is a common condition that affects hundreds of thousands of people each year in the U.S. It occurs when the tendon in the finger becomes inflamed, often due to repeated "gripping" actions, and can no longer pass through the tendon sheath, much like fishing line passing through guide rings on a fishing rod. The finger can become "locked" in an up position or may produce a snapping sound, therefore the name "trigger finger".

How can Trigger Tome Help?
Trigger Tome® has been specifically designed to make the surgeon's job easier, faster, and more accurate. The "release" procedure, which requires cutting of the tendon sheath, can be done the same day the patient presents the problem to their physician in only a few minutes. The incision is smaller than current protocol resulting in less pain and faster recovery.
