🦵 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 Biggest Challenge in Orthopedic Recovery Isn't the Surgery Orthopedic procedures continue to advance, but one challenge remains surprisingly common: Keeping patients engaged in physical therapy after they leave the clinic. Most successful recoveries depend on what happens during the weeks following surgery. Patients are expected to complete exercises at home, attend physical therapy appointments, and stay committed to their rehabilitation plan. Unfortunately, that doesn't

Orthopedic Care Is Evolving For decades, innovation in orthopedics was measured by advances in surgical techniques, implants, and operating room technology. Those innovations remain incredibly important. But today's healthcare providers are beginning to recognize another opportunity to improve patient outcomes—the recovery experience. A technically successful surgery is only one part of the patient's journey. What happens after the patient leaves the operating room often dete

Successful Surgery Doesn’t Guarantee a Successful Recovery When people talk about orthopedic success, the conversation usually centers on the operating room. Was the procedure successful? Was the implant positioned correctly? Were there any complications? While these are critical measures, they tell only part of the story. The real patient experience begins after surgery. Recovery is where patients spend the next several weeks—or even months—and it’s often where their opinion

The Search Begins Before the First Appointment Years ago, most patients relied almost entirely on their surgeon for information. Today, that's no longer the case. Before surgery is even scheduled, patients are searching online for answers. They want to understand the procedure, compare recovery experiences, and know what to expect once they get home. But here's what's surprising: Many patients spend more time researching recovery than they do the surgery itself. Why? Because

Orthopedic Recovery Is Entering a New Era For years, post-operative recovery often centered on rest, physical therapy, and pain medication. While pain management remains an important part of the recovery process, healthcare providers are increasingly exploring ways to support healing while reducing reliance on opioid medications whenever clinically appropriate. This shift has led to greater interest in non-drug recovery technologies that can complement a provider's treatment

Orthopedic Surgery Is Just the Beginning Patients spend weeks—or even months—preparing for surgery. They meet with their surgeon, complete pre-operative appointments, and often focus on one goal: getting through the procedure. But ask patients after surgery what they wish they had known beforehand, and you'll often hear a very different story. Many realize that recovery is more challenging, more important, and more involved than they expected. For orthopedic sales representat

Recovery Doesn't End With Surgery A successful orthopedic procedure is only the beginning of a patient's recovery journey. What happens after surgery often determines how well a patient regains strength, mobility, and confidence. While providers carefully develop post-operative care plans, one factor consistently influences recovery outcomes: Patient compliance. Patient compliance refers to how consistently patients follow their prescribed recovery plan, including using recov

Orthopedic Care Is Evolving Beyond the Operating Room For decades, orthopedic innovation focused primarily on improving surgical techniques, implants, and procedural efficiency. While these advancements remain essential, today's surgeons are increasingly recognizing that a successful procedure is only part of the equation. The real measure of success is what happens after surgery. Patients want to recover faster, regain mobility sooner, and return to the activities they enjoy

The future of orthopedic recovery isn't more medication. It's smarter recovery. For years, opioid medications were a standard part of post-operative pain management. While these medications can still play an important role in certain situations, healthcare providers are increasingly seeking ways to reduce opioid dependence while still helping patients recover comfortably and effectively. This shift has created a growing demand for non-opioid recovery solutions. Today, Durable

The orthopedic industry is constantly searching for ways to improve patient outcomes, accelerate recovery, and reduce dependence on pain medication. As healthcare continues to shift toward non-invasive and non-opioid treatment options, technologies that support the body's natural healing process are receiving increased attention from providers, therapists, athletic trainers, and orthopedic sales professionals. One technology making an impact is the Smart Triad 3LT. Designed t

Recovery after a knee injury or surgery isn’t just about time—it’s about how that time is used. One of the most critical factors in a successful recovery is restoring proper range of motion (ROM) safely and consistently. That’s where the right DME (Durable Medical Equipment) product can make all the difference. 🦵 Why Range of Motion Is So Important After procedures like ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, or total knee replacement, regaining range of motion is one of the fi
