WEBVTT 00:07.382 --> 00:09.592 - I'm Bill Barrett I'm an orthopedic surgeon. 00:09.592 --> 00:12.137 I've been practicing orthopedics for over 30 years, 00:12.137 --> 00:15.265 specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery. 00:15.265 --> 00:16.808 So the way we approached, 00:16.808 --> 00:20.520 introducing iovera into our practice was a bit of 00:20.520 --> 00:22.731 dipping your toe in the pond so to speak, 00:22.731 --> 00:25.191 when I saw the results of this, 00:25.191 --> 00:28.194 I was actually very impressed because 00:28.194 --> 00:30.905 once the treatment has been applied to a nerve, 00:30.905 --> 00:35.618 the change in that nerve is virtually instantaneous and so 00:35.618 --> 00:37.620 you get immediate gratification, 00:37.620 --> 00:40.248 which is something most orthopedic surgeons want. 00:40.248 --> 00:42.208 You know we went into this field because 00:42.208 --> 00:43.543 we're fairly black and white. 00:43.543 --> 00:45.712 We look at an x-ray we can see it, 00:45.712 --> 00:47.505 a bone's broken you fix it. 00:47.505 --> 00:49.924 This you have a nerve you treat it 00:49.924 --> 00:53.511 it's numb for a period of time and the pain is gone away. 00:53.511 --> 00:54.888 - The way I describe it 00:54.888 --> 00:57.557 is that it is a freezing type technology 00:57.557 --> 01:00.602 in which we can find the nerves that are responsible 01:00.602 --> 01:02.520 for pain in and around their knee. 01:02.520 --> 01:04.189 And we can deliver localized, 01:04.189 --> 01:06.399 freezing technology to those nerves. 01:06.399 --> 01:08.359 So the nerves no longer communicate that pain 01:08.359 --> 01:09.778 from the knee to the brain. 01:09.778 --> 01:12.781 iovera has really changed the way I approach 01:12.781 --> 01:13.948 the discussion with the patient, 01:13.948 --> 01:15.116 as we're talking about 01:15.116 --> 01:16.493 what it means to have a knee replacement 01:16.493 --> 01:17.535 and how we're gonna manage the pain. 01:17.535 --> 01:19.537 So that is one of the number one concerns 01:19.537 --> 01:20.705 that patients have. 01:20.705 --> 01:23.708 And so iovera has really provided us a solution 01:23.708 --> 01:26.544 to giving them up to 90 days of pain relief, 01:26.544 --> 01:28.797 following their knee procedure, 01:28.797 --> 01:32.133 which can help them get through that painful rehab time. 01:32.133 --> 01:34.761 One of the things that brings me a lot of joy 01:34.761 --> 01:36.805 is when I can just watch fear, 01:36.805 --> 01:38.306 just come off of a patient's face 01:38.306 --> 01:40.100 when you've just shown them 01:40.100 --> 01:42.477 how you're gonna be right alongside of them on this journey 01:42.477 --> 01:46.481 through a total joint replacement and just the relief. 01:46.481 --> 01:48.108 And that's what I see with iovera, 01:48.108 --> 01:51.945 after the iovera treatment to watch them stand up 01:51.945 --> 01:53.113 a little bit doubtful still, 01:53.113 --> 01:57.992 but they stand up and suddenly it's relief, it's joy. 01:57.992 --> 02:00.120 And that has been an absolute delight to watch. 02:00.120 --> 02:03.206 - If somebody was interested in learning about iovera, 02:03.206 --> 02:05.792 I'd invite them to come see us and say, 02:05.792 --> 02:08.211 watch my physician assist and do this. 02:08.211 --> 02:10.296 Watch the interaction with the patient, 02:10.296 --> 02:11.756 see what it feels like. 02:11.756 --> 02:14.676 And then see the patients experience after they have it. 02:14.676 --> 02:16.594 - It's a 90 second treatment 02:16.594 --> 02:18.263 and they're instantly telling you 02:18.263 --> 02:19.931 that they can feel a sensation. 02:19.931 --> 02:22.350 And just that sudden onset of pain relief. 02:22.350 --> 02:24.894 - It's fairly dramatic and I think it's worthwhile 02:24.894 --> 02:26.896 to have people see that experience 02:26.896 --> 02:29.649 and see what the patient goes through.
