"As an Occupational Therapist working with patients following facial burns, The Saddle supports improved tissue flexibility and mobility at the oral commissures. Its integrated measurement system simplifies objective tracking, and the adjustable tension allows for gradual gains in range of motion. It consistently supports functional recovery."
