1. How to use the CPM device

1.1 Fields of application

The ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact is a
motor-operated Continuous Passive Mo-
tion (CPM) device providing motion to the
elbow joint.
Suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, general
practices and rental services, it is an impor-
tant supplement to medical and therapeu-
tic treatment.

1.2 Therapy objectives

CPM therapy with the
ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact is mainly
used to prevent the negative effects of
immobilization, to allow patients to regain
painless mobility of joints at an early stage
and to promote healing and achieve a posi-
tive functional result.
Other objectives of therapy include:
− improvement of joint metabolism
− prevention of joint stiffness
(arthrofibrosis)
− promotion of the regeneration and heal-
ing of cartilage and damaged ligaments
− faster hematoma/fluid resorption
− improved lymph and blood circulation
− thrombosis and embolism prophylaxis

1.3 Indications

The CPM device is indicated in the treat-
ment of most injuries and postoperative
conditions and diseases of the elbow joint.
Examples:
− joint distortion and contusion
− arthrotomy and arthroscopy procedures
in combination with synovectomy,
arthrolysis or other intra-articular
interventions
− all types of arthoplasty
− mobilization of joints in anesthetized
patients
− exercise-stable fractures after surgery
and pseudoarthrosis
− endoprosthetic implants
− myoplasty
− corrective osteotomy
