Physicians have you heard about this device? More importantly, do you know the benefits of it? Ready to learn? A Tuesday afternoon crash course on the Medacta AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner…
The AMIS surgical technique uses special instrumentation specifically designed to help streamline, simplify and facilitate reproducibility of the Direct Anterior approach. This orthopedic table extension is one of the main facilitators and teammates used during the AMIS technique: it provides for an easy and stable leg positioning, which allows a simple and reproducible procedure.
Let’s talk about a few of the BENEFITS:
- Patented automatic traction release
- No additional costs (great for ASC’s)
- Easy connection to all operating tables
- Radiolucent
- Ease of use
- Improved kinematics
- Deep hyperextension
- Ability to abduct/adduct
- Excellent rotational stability
- AMIS boot that is easy to assemble
In addition, the mobile leg positioner has improved MY physical well-being as a surgeon. Prior to this machine, I was constantly in uncomfortable positions trying to access different angles. It impacted my neck and back to the point where I was physically in pain. After implementing the mobile leg positioner, the stress and strain on my neck and back has decreased significantly.
I’m ALL about innovative and effective adjunct tools to help improve ergonomics for my team and myself which allows to increase my overall career lifespan and comfort/well-being in the operating room.
Physicians: how many of you are using this device? How many are interested in learning more?
