THE ORAPLACE CONTRACTURE TOOL LAUNCH

THE ORAPLACE CONTRACTURE TOOL LAUNCH

We are proud to announce the launch of the OraPlace Contracture Tools.  The OraPlace tools allow for preventative therapy to be applied shortly after a burn in acute care, providing a safe way to maintain facial motion as part of the healing process.  The OraPlace tools also treat existing burn contractures with multidimensional stretching to specific areas as needed. They provide facial reanimation, low load prolonged stretching (LLPS), and improved lip closure.
