D-Rev unveils ReMotion Knee

Designed to provide high performance mobility for all amputees regardless of income, D-Rev launched the ReMotion Knee in India recently. This is D-Rev’s fourth product to reach the market and the first product in its mobility line and is available for Rs 5,440 (approx).

“The ReMotion Knee makes it easy and affordable for clinicians to deliver high-performance knees in their clinics,” says Vinesh Narayan, ReMotion Knee product manager.

“D-Rev’s dedication to product quality is complemented by our awareness of the needs of patients. With the ReMotion Knee amputees will have an affordable prosthetic that can keep up with their activity levels and required flexibility”, he adds.

“What it takes to have something available to amputees in the developing world, more than cost is that it should be designed for the social, cultural, and environmental needs where the people live.

This is what the ReMotion Knee does,” says Dr Pooja Mukul, Technical Director at BMVSS – Paul Hamlyn International Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics, who has been a D-Rev partner since 2010 and was the first clinician to fit the ReMotion Knee in India.

“Our goal is to ensure that all amputees have access to a high quality prosthetic device, regardless of income. The ReMotion Knee is one measure towards the goal, though full realization requires that the government, private, and NGO sectors take additional steps to place a priority on quality prosthetic fitting services above cheaper, poor performing devices,” adds Dr Krista Donaldson, CEO D-Rev.
