Intended Product Use

CoxaFlex® was developed in order to
treat hip dysplasia and luxation more
effetively and more safely. It helps
control the growth of the cartilaginous
and bony articulation partners, and
specifically supports the ideal shaping
of the hip joint.
CoxaFlex® resulted from the close co-
operation of physicians and technicians
and will foster the subsequent deve-

correctly.
As with many disorders, the prospects
of a complete recovery of the dysplastic
hip will improve if the defect is detected
and treated early on.
When treated within the first days and
weeks of life, regular dysplasia can
usually be healed within a few weeks.
Dysplasia stemming from a preceding
luxation, however, usually takes several
months of orthotic treatment to heal.
Constant and regular control exami-

as much part of a good treatment plan
as a professionally fitted and correctly
applied orthosis. Therefore, the close
cooperation of physicians, technicians
and parents is indispensable for the
patient's healthy future.
