Operating Room Traction Devices

Proper positioning and support of a patient’s hips, shoulders, and joints is vital for ensuring a successful orthopedic surgery procedure. Not only do surgical shoulder supports make the patient more comfortable, but they also may prevent excessive intraoperative bleeding, respiratory and cardiac problems, and pressure damage to skin and nerves. The use of shoulder surgery devices also provides the physician with easy, efficient, and comfortable access to the surgical site. Ensure that orthopedic patients will not shift from position by using operating shoulder devices during each procedure.
