RE-MOTION KNEE
low-cost and high-performance knee joint
The ReMotion Knee is a low-cost and high-performance knee joint, but that is not the end of the road for mobility. Although the knee joint is typically the most expensive and complex component, a full prosthesis also contains a foot, a pylon, and a socket. A trained clinician must custom mold the socket to fit the patient and assemble it with the other components, which is why it is so important for D-Rev to partner with clinics around the world that are staffed with prosthetics experts.
To accelerate the ReMotion Knee’s impact, D-Rev is creating partnerships and sales with top-tier prosthetic providers worldwide with already established distribution channels and local expertise. By partnering with D-Rev, prosthetic clinics gain access to world-class design and engineering capabilities while continuing to provide in-depth patient care.
