DJO Global | Exprt Precision System Typically, a knee revision arthroplasty is expensive and requires a lot of equipment — usually 8 trays' worth. DJO's newest system reduces that number to 2. By eliminating unnecessary equipment and stream- lining supplies, company reps say the result is a cost reduction of 40% to 70% from a traditional system. The smaller system also requires less labor for setting up cases, giving you a faster turnover. The company says they got down to the 2 trays by working with a team of experts to define what was really needed during knee revision cases. The result is a toolkit that is less wasteful, less time-consuming and something your surgeons will find useful.
