Therapeutic success with no side effects
A recent survey confirms that the majority of leg amputees (approx. 75 per cent) suffer from phantom pain. The use of the medi Liner RELAX is scientifically proven to relieve the symptoms in around 80 % of those affected(1) and therefore to a reduction in cost-intensive care and service requirements, as many users consult orthopaedic technicians for socket reworking because of their phantom pain. In addition, fewer drugs are required, which often result in severe side effects. By contrast, phantom pain sufferers benefit from the therapeutic success achieved with the medi RELAX products without side effects of any kind.
