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 a ected joint through a prescribed arc of motion for an extended period of time, the OptiFlex 3 CPM Unit lessens the adverse e ects of immobilization and trauma on the knee joint.
