toddyboman Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: holy $$$$$$ Somebody making some buck off that machine. WOW!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: holy $$$$$$ Trust me...the cooling cuff will help tremendously. We had to buy one and, as I recall, that wasn't terribly expensive. The CP machine on the other hand... Hopefully, your insurance will cover the CP machine.

[/ QUOTE ] yeah buckee my medical at work will cover about 80% of it....BUT I have to pay it up front and have to wait 2 weeks or 3 before I get it back Finn from what I know the cooling cuff explains its self...and the CPM keeps my leg moving all the time when I am at rest.....I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: holy $$$$$$ When I had my knee replaced, I wore out a CPM machine and they had to get me another one! My insurance covered the entire cost and I had that thing for over 6 weeks! They starting using a CPM the same afternoon when I had surgery in the morning! Got to keep that knee bending! I believe CPM stands for Constant Passive Motion or some such thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
