SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CyMedica Orthopedics, Inc. today announced that it has received a CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark for its QB1 Muscle Activation System. The product received its FDA 510(k) clearance in April 2015, and has since enjoyed a tremendous reception from orthopedic surgeons and knee patients across the United States.

The CE mark opens new international markets to the QB1 to benefit patients suffering from quadriceps muscle atrophy – a weakening of the major leg muscles after ACL and total knee replacement surgery. Quad atrophy can significantly slow healing and affect a patient's activities, leaving them prone to delayed rehabilitation and further injury.
CyMedica Orthopedics brought together leading orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists and engineering experts to deliver the first Muscle Activation System that activates atrophied quad muscles in a clinically relevant manner with little pain. The QB1 incorporates this patented and intelligent technology with a postoperative knee brace to bring rehabilitation therapy into a patient's home. This enables all knee patients to potentially improve their quad strength markedly faster and more comfortably than with other methods. Patients can now receive the same frequent, consistent, professional treatment previously reserved for elite athletes.
About CyMedica Orthopedics, Inc. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, CyMedica Orthopedics is a privately held medical device company that develops and commercializes innovative products that target muscle atrophy using its platform technology. That technology includes the first closed-loop power control system to provide patients comfortable yet aggressive treatment.
