There is less risk, downtime and expense for patients.   There is less time consumed in hospitals and clinics freeing them up for other patients and other procedures. Surgeon’s time can be preserved for other surgical needs. Medical innovation like these also lowers costs to insurers by two or three orders of magnitude. These are the type of products that will save our healthcare system and make it even better for all parties. The Carpal Solution Therapy is an innovation that represents real progress in healthcare delivery.
