1.0 Intended Use
1.1 Introduction
The LiteLift® PRO Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) system is designed for the rehabilitation of the lower limbs following
knee or hip surgery, and is designed primarily for use in the hospital environment and works only with the PRO Series
Pendant Controller.
The LiteLift® PRO has a lifting mechanism which allows it to be attached directly to a standard hospital bed frame.
It conveniently stores out of the way when not in use. A clutch mechanism locks at any angle and also reduces the
functional lifting weight of the LiteLift® PRO by almost half.
The patient's leg is suspended from the device rather than being supported by it.
The foot, calf and thigh supports along with the patient kit attachments are all independently adjustable to ensure that the
LiteLift® PRO can be anatomically aligned for a wider range of patient sizes.
