therapy. We pay each of these parties out of our bundled payment.
Everybody's on the hook to provide the services for what would be
considered a normal course of care.
The surgical facility receives the largest portion of the bundle, fol-
lowed by our physicians group, anesthesia, radiology, rehabilitation
and DME. Nobody's getting rich over this, but nobody can go poor
either. We're trying to get the billing and the payments equal to the
service provided so that everyone's incentives are aligned. Note that
in the case of an unforeseen surgical-related complication, such as a
surgical site infection, fracture or wound complication,

Disposable Contour
Tourniquet Cuffs
Shaping the Future of Tourniquet Care
For the past 30 years, cylindrical cuffs have been the standard
of care. We've challenged this way of thinking and have designed
a disposable contour cuff with both the patient and OR staff in mind.
> Sterile
Disposable contour cuffs are packaged
sterile and designed for one time use.
Designed to reduce the risk of cross
contamination.
> Patient Safety
Studies show that wide, contoured
cuffs may reduce the risk of tourniquet
induced injury to underlying soft tissues
by lowering the inflation pressure
required to secure a bloodless field.

> Pressure Reduction
Contour Cuffs, together with Limb
Occlusion Pressure (LOP), deliver
a superior reduction of average pressure
compared to traditional practice.
