The Click Medical RevoSurface® Tool Kit serves as a valuable tool for testing designs before committing to a definitive device. Effective clinician-technician communication, facilitated through detailed instructions on work orders, ensures the success of the retrofit.

Clinicians must first assess the structural integrity of existing devices and collaborate with original fabricators to ensure feasibility. Careful consideration of panel placement and sizing, taking advantage of pads for optimal positioning, is crucial. Interface specifications, particularly the thickness and compressibility of inner components, must be taken into account. Clear definition of adjustment goals, whether in overall volume or specific dimensions, guides the retrofitting process.
