About
Jointech-Med aims to create an intra-articular device designed to reduce intra-articular pressure, as well as continuous evacuation of inflammatory mediators from painful-effused knees in certain joint diseases. By reducing intra-articular pressure in joints suffering from diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, pain will be decreased (by decreasing the capsular irritation caused by the increased pressure and inflammation), life quality will improve, and disease propagation (i.e. chondral destruction by the inflammatory process) might be decelerated (thus delaying the need for total joint arthroplasty). JoinTechs main focus is on patients that suffer from painful knee arthritis with effusion, in their fifth or sixth decade (thus too young for knee replacement surgery).
