Reduced pain can increase patient mobility and contribute to faster recovery. The latex-free disposable pump, called DonJoy PCD, integrates a proprietary syringe reservoir with a mechanical driver.

(San Diego, CA, USA).

"As one of the leading suppliers of ambulatory pain management solutions for the orthopedic sports medicine market, we are pleased to introduce our new and improved system for surgeons and their patients,” said Les Cross, president and CEO of dj Orthopedics. The company will market the new device in a convenient sterile kit.
