The Bledsoe Philippon K.A.F. (Knee, Ankle, Foot) Positioning Kit was developed in collaboration with Dr. Marc Philippon, MD, Director of Sports Medicine/Hip Disorders at the University of Pittsburgh.

The Philippon K.A.F. Positioning Kit is designed for a dual function:

During the hip arthroscopic procedure: The padded booties protect the skin, feet and ankles of the patient while pulling traction on the legs.

Following hip arthroscopy: The booties, along with the knee band, hold the patient's feet and legs together to prevent hip rotation, adduction or abduction while allowing the patient to sleep comfortably.

The Philippon K.A.F. Positioning Kit is made from double-thick ultra-breathable polyurethane foam with a soft loop pile surface. The Philippon K.A.F. Positioning Kit pads and protects the patient in a comfortable manner.

Indications
This device is indicated to help limit hip rotation, adduction and abduction by positioning the knees, ankles and feet together following hip arthroscopy. It is further indicated to protect the patient's feet and ankles from high interoperative traction forces placed on the legs during hip arthroscopy.

Contraindications
None known.
