PLAINVILLE, Conn., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Medical Products, Inc., has developed the Tibial Distractor(TM) as part of a line of patient positioning aids developed specifically for trauma surgery.
The Tibial Distractor(TM) is designed as a patient positioning device to provide distraction and rotation for axial alignment during IM nailing, plating and bone grafting procedures of the tibia. Use of the device eliminates the need to manually stabilize the leg throughout a procedure. This allows intra-operative imaging, with substantially reduced radiation exposure for surgical assistants.
The autoclavable unit folds to fit into O.R. sterilizers, and offers disposable, sterile, latex-free patient protective foam pads. Insertion of a calcaneal pin facilitates placement of the patient's foot into the bow of the unit, allowing maximum exposure, distraction, rotational alignment and stabilization through skeletal traction.
A world leader in the specialty field of patient positioning, IMP holds several patents for its unique and functional devices, including the De Mayo Hip Positioner(TM), Universal Knee Positioner(TM), and Femur Finder(TM).
