OptiFlex® 3 Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Therapy Unit
Product Description
Continuous Passive Motion is a postoperative procedure designed to aid in patient recovery after joint surgery. This unit is typically
used postoperatively for total knee replacement and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repairs. After extensive joint surgery, if a patient
fails to move the joint, tissue around the joint will become sti and scar tissue will form, resulting in a joint with limited range of
motion. By repeatedly exing and extending the aected joint through a prescribed arc of motion for an extended period of time, the
OptiFlex 3 CPM Unit lessens the adverse eects of immobilization and trauma on the knee joint.
