•
Reduce pain and discomfort in the legs – caused by swelling (oedema)
due to osteoarthritis or following surgery.
•
Reduce swelling and stiffness in the legs – caused by being immobile
due to osteoarthritis.
•
Increase muscle strength to help regain mobility and stabilise knees
affected by being immobile due to osteoarthritis or following surgery.
•

the legs.
The above Indications for Use are certified under the Medical Devices

HOW REVITIVE ARTHRITIS-KNEE WORKS
With its unique
DualAction
REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee works in two ways:
1.
Delivers Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to your feet via a
pair of cushioned foot-pads, while you are seated. The EMS causes
muscles in your calf and foot to contract, which helps to increase
circulation in your legs.
REVITIVE
has been developed so that it is comfortable for you to use.
It features a patented IsoRocker that allows for natural ankle movement
when applying the EMS to your feet. Ankle movement is a key factor in
increasing circulation in the lower legs. You can choose to enable or
disable the IsoRocker at any time.
REVITIVE
is designed to be easy to use and comes with a remote
control, which means you do not have to reach down to adjust settings
during use.
2.
Delivers Electrical Muscle Stimulation to the front of the thighs/
quadriceps through the use of the Arthritis (Electrode) Pads - to
strengthen the quadriceps. Strengthening your quadriceps muscles
may help to:
•
Support and stabilise the knee
•
Reduce stress on the knee
•
Relieve knee pain
To get the most out of REVITIVE, it is recommended that you use:
•
REVITIVE foot-pads for 20-30 minutes each day.
•
REVITIVE Arthritis Pads on the thigh of your affected leg (knee)
once a day for 20 minutes, 5 days per week.
