KT2000™  

The KT2000™ adds graphic documentation to the clinically proven reliability of the KT1000™.  With the X-Y plotter, or CompuKT accessories the clinician can create unequivocal, permanent records of knee stability for comparison throughout a patient’s rehabilitation. Users may also interface the KT2000™ with a laboratory computer having A to D capability and user software.
