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.
