System Components
Electrodes
Electrodes are provided for patient
use. Low profile Electrodes (Figure 1)
are to be used in all applications of
the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive
Bone Growth Stimulator System.
Electrodes are mounted on a release
liner and are effective for multi day
use. (See page 14.) There are two
types of electrodes that are packaged
with the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator
System: 72R and LT-4500. The 72R electrodes have green writing
on their packaging. The LT-4500 electrodes have black writing
on their packaging. The 72R electrodes have a hydrogel that is
stickier than the LT-4500 electrode hydrogel. The patient can use
whichever electrodes best suit their skin type.
Electrode Covers
Covers are to be used for non-casted
applications by patients who are
experiencing difficulty keeping the
electrode pads in good contact with
the skin.
When the electrode retainer is properly
applied over the electrode pad, you will
be able to shower without removing the
electrode pad. (Figure 2)
Device Holster
The device holster is designed to
securely hold the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator
System in place. It has a clip on the back which allows the patient
to wear the device on their waistband or belt.
Lead Wires
Two different length lead wires are included with the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System.
The patient should choose the lead wire that best accommodates
their needs for where they would like to wear the control unit.
Additional lengths are available from Biomet.
