Why the evidence supports RRDs
Limbguard™ RRDs are built on patented technology (U.S. Patents 8,679,193 · 11,737,926 · 12,161,571), backed by decades of published research on rigid dressing outcomes.
Faster healing
Rigid dressings help control edema and protect the residual limb from impact, supporting faster wound healing after amputation.
Earlier prosthetic use
Better limb protection and volume control mean patients can move toward prosthetic fitting and gait training sooner.
Fewer setbacks
Falls and bumps on an insensate limb are a major cause of delay. A removable rigid dressing absorbs that impact.
Daily wound checks
Unlike a cast, the RRD comes off in seconds so clinicians and caregivers can inspect the incision and skin.
