the elbow joint.
Suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, general
practices and rental services as well as

result.
Other objectives of therapy include:
− improvement of joint metabolism
− prevention of joint stiffness
(arthrofibrosis)
− promotion of the regeneration and hea-
ling of cartilage and damaged ligaments
− faster hematoma/fluid resorption
− improved lymph and blood circulation
− thrombosis and embolism prophylaxis

in combination with synovectomy,
arthrolysis or other intra-articular
interventions
