Here are five quick facts on the technology:
1. It uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation technology.
2. The product combines a postoperative knee brace, form-fitting conductive garment and user-friendly NMES control interface.
3. The device simplifies at-home NMES treatment and is designed for patient compliance.
4. QB1 NMES delivers high intensity electrical muscle stimulation, but also maintains patient comfort.
5. The QB1 Proprietary closed-loop system monitors and adjusts the electrical stimulation power delivered to the patient for consistent and comfortable quadriceps activation.
“The CyMedica QB1 knee brace and wrap is a game changer,” said Struan Coleman, MD, a sports medicine specialist at Hospital for Special Surgery and CyMedica co-founder. “The QB1 will allow the orthopedic surgeon to treat every patient like a professional athlete by initiating neuromuscular activation immediately following knee surgery.”
