Cost & Time Saving Sheet VADO®plex

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides insights into the benefits of using Foot Impulse Technology (FIT) for treating ankle and calcaneus fractures, specifically Weber B and C fractures. It highlights the advantages of FIT over traditional methods like ice and cryotherapy.

Key Findings:

Operation and Discharge: Patients treated with FIT experienced operations 1.7 days earlier and were discharged 3.6 to 5 days earlier compared to traditional methods.
Compartment Syndrome Prophylaxis: FIT effectively reduces compartment pressure from critical values (average 38.75 mmHg) to below 30 mmHg within an average of 3.8 hours.
Swelling and Oedema Reduction: FIT provides the fastest swelling reduction compared to ice and cryotherapy, achieving 50% faster oedema reduction than ice packs.
Ease of Use: FIT is noted as the most time-saving, fastest, and easiest method to apply.

Supporting Studies:

Study by J. Cashman et al. (1998) from the Royal United Hospital, Bath, England, published in Injury, International Journal of the Care of Injured.
Study by P. J. Juliano et al. (2000) from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, published in Military Medicine.
Study by U. C. Stöckle et al. (1997) from Charite, Campus Rudolph Virchow Klinikum, Berlin, published in Foot & Ankle International.

Conclusion: The document emphasizes the cost and time-saving benefits of FIT, making it a superior choice for managing ankle and calcaneus fractures.
