Cost per injection

[edit]

Apparently in the UK it costs £780 per injection [http://www.netag.nhs.uk/files/appraisal-reports/Collagenase%20-Xiapex-%20for%20Dupuytrens%20contracture%20-%20NETAG%20appraisal%20report%20-%20Aug2011.pdf Collagenase (Xiapex®) for Dupuytren’s Contracture ]. Cheaper than surgery but not available in all NHS regions. - Rod57 (talk) 01:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In Australia it is $2000 for one injection for Dupuytrens, but there are other costs such as anaesthetic. It is not necessarily covered by private health insurance, as it is a day procedure, but in my case it was. Cheaper than surgery and far more expensive than needle fasciotomy.
