RMS 5-Piece Hip & Knee Replacement Recovery Kit

The MDS 5-Piece Recovery Kit is the gold standard for individuals transitioning from the hospital to home after orthopedic surgery. Adhering to "hip precautions"—which typically prohibit bending the joint more than 90 degrees—is critical for a successful recovery. This USA-made kit provides all the necessary mechanical advantages to manage dressing, bathing, and reaching without compromising your surgical site. Each tool is engineered for durability and ease of use, ensuring you can maintain your dignity and independence during the healing process.

Restoring Independence with Clinical Precision

Occupational therapists and surgeons frequently recommend the MDS Hip Kit because it addresses the five most common challenges of post-operative daily living. Whether you are managing recovery from a total hip replacement, knee surgery, or chronic severe arthritis, these tools provide a structured way to handle personal care tasks that would otherwise require caregiver assistance.

Every component in this kit is lightweight yet robust, making them easy to manipulate even for those with weakened grip strength. By centralizing these essential tools into one coordinated set, RMS provides a cost-effective and stress-free solution for the most critical weeks of your rehabilitation.
