IROM

The Donjoy IROM Splint is a technologically advanced orthopedic brace engineered to provide superior post-operative care following major knee ligament surgeries. It is specifically designed to offer a unique combination of rigid immobilisation and exact, controlled movement, facilitating a structured and protected recovery process for patients. By allowing clinicians to dictate the precise range of motion, the IROM ensures that healing tissues are safeguarded while enabling early, guided rehabilitation.

Indications for Use

The IROM is specifically indicated for post-surgical management of the knee’s key stabilising ligaments. It is an essential rehabilitation tool for patients recovering from:

• ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) surgery.
• PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) surgery.
• MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) surgery.
• LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament) surgery.

Precise, Incremental Range-of-Motion Control: The cornerstone of the DonJoy IROM’s design is its ability to control flexion and extension with unparalleled accuracy. The hinge mechanism can be locked in 10° increments, allowing healthcare professionals to prescribe a very specific and safe arc of motion. This precise control is critical for protecting surgical repairs in the early stages of healing while progressively introducing movement to prevent stiffness and promote optimal long-term outcomes.

Formable Hinge Bars for a Customised Fit: Recognising that every patient’s anatomy is unique, the IROM features formable hinge bars. This key characteristic allows the brace to be custom-fitted to the individual’s leg alignment. Clinicians can adjust the bars to accommodate for varus or valgus positioning (bow-legged or knock-kneed alignments), ensuring the brace hinges are perfectly aligned with the patient’s natural knee axis. This customisation enhances comfort, stability, and the overall biomechanical effectiveness of the brace.

Hinge Bar Breakdown Capability: For added convenience and patient comfort during the application and removal process, the IROM hinges are designed with a breakdown capability. This feature allows the hinge bars to be separated, making it significantly easier to position the brace on the leg without causing discomfort or straining the surgical site.

Integrated Strap and Hinge Bar Design: The IROM incorporates a streamlined design where the strap system is integrated directly with the hinge bars. This creates a more secure and unified fit, preventing the straps from slipping or migrating out of position. The integrated design ensures that the forces are distributed evenly and that the brace remains stable on the limb during movement, providing consistent support and immobilisation where it is needed most.

Available in Standard and Telescopic Models: To accommodate various patient needs and recovery protocols, the Donjoy IROM is available in more than one configuration.

• The Standard IROM model provides the core features for effective range-of-motion control.
• The Telescopic IROM model offers an adjustable frame length, allowing the brace to grow or shrink slightly to achieve a perfect fit as post-operative swelling increases or decreases. This ensures continuous, customised compression and support throughout the entire recovery journey.
• The Cool IROM for Warmer Climates: For patients living in or recovering in warm, humid environments, Donjoy offers the Cool IROM. This specialised version incorporates materials and a design aimed at enhancing breathability and moisture management, significantly improving patient comfort and compliance during extended wear in challenging climatic conditions.
