🦵 Can sustained acoustic medicine change the way we think about knee osteoarthritis treatment? In this educational presentation, Dr. Scott Sigman explores Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM®) and its role in the treatment and management of knee osteoarthritis. Knee OA is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain and can significantly affect mobility, activity levels, and quality of life. As clinicians continue looking for evidence-based, non-drug treatment options, te

What if post-operative recovery could be more convenient, more consistent, and easier for patients to incorporate into everyday life? In this in-depth video, we take a closer look at NICE1®, an iceless cold + compression therapy system designed to support patients during the recovery process. Featuring clinical perspectives, real-world applications, and an inside look at the technology, this video explores how cold and compression can fit into a modern orthopedic recovery str

What makes NICE1® different from traditional ice-based recovery? In this video, Dr. Eric McCarty, a sports medicine and shoulder specialist, discusses recovery and demonstrates NICE1®—an iceless cold + compression therapy system designed to fit into a patient's recovery routine. NICE1® combines controlled cold therapy with compression in a convenient system designed to help manage post-operative swelling and support patient comfort during recovery. Unlike traditional ice ther

Knee surgery is only the beginning of the recovery journey. Whether a patient is preparing for a total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or another knee procedure, rehabilitation plays an important role in getting back to everyday activities. One of the biggest challenges during recovery is knowing whether you're actually making progress. How much has your range of motion improved? Are you completing your exercises consistently? Is your recovery moving in the right direct

More than just a beautifully engineered Skate, the MAXM solution also has an integrated Bluetooth sensor that captures real-time data to empower, motivate and engage patients and their clinical teams. What do the percentages (%) mean? Simply, the percentage represents the amount of flexion at the knee joint. Full range of motion flexion is considered 100% and for consistency that is set at 135 degrees of flexion, with full extension being 0%. The image below provides the appr

The PremiereMed Recovery Matrix Orthopedic surgery doesn’t end when the patient leaves the operating room. The recovery process can involve swelling, pain, stiffness, limited mobility, rehabilitation, circulation concerns and the challenge of staying consistent with a recovery plan at home. That raises an important question for orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic representatives and DME partners: How do you determine which recovery technology may fit a patient's needs after a pro

When a patient hears that they need orthopedic surgery, most of the conversation naturally centers around the procedure. What is being repaired?How long will surgery take?When can I go home?When can I get back to work, sports, or normal activities? But there is another question that deserves just as much attention: What happens after the surgery? The operation may be completed in a few hours, but recovery can take weeks or even months. During that time, patients may deal with

The Sale Isn't the Finish Line For many orthopedic sales reps, the process can feel like it ends when the DME is delivered. The provider orders the device. The patient receives it. The rep moves on to the next opportunity. But what happens next? That's where an often-overlooked part of orthopedic sales begins. A DME solution is only valuable if the patient understands it, uses it correctly, stays engaged with their recovery, and the provider has confidence that the technology

The Best DME Recommendation Starts With Questions For orthopedic sales reps, recommending a DME solution isn't simply about knowing which products are available. It's about understanding the patient, procedure, recovery plan, provider preferences, and practice workflow before suggesting a solution. A device that works well for one patient may not be the right fit for another. That's why the best orthopedic sales conversations begin with questions—not product pitches. Here are

The Patient Search Starts Long Before the Sales Conversation Orthopedic sales reps spend a lot of time thinking about surgeons. What procedures are they performing? What challenges are they seeing? What products are they currently using? What could improve their workflow? But there is another perspective that can reveal valuable opportunities: What are the patients searching for? Patients are no longer waiting until their next appointment to ask questions about recovery. They

Great Surgery Is Expected. Great Recovery Creates Loyalty. Every orthopedic practice strives to deliver excellent surgical care. But in today's healthcare environment, a successful procedure is no longer enough to differentiate a practice. Patients expect a complete recovery experience—one that includes education, communication, rehabilitation, and support after they leave the operating room. Practices that invest in better recovery programs aren't just helping patients heal.
