The distal activation switch eliminates the need for a foot pedal (provided as option). Increased Rigidity System maintains a steady position from start to finish. Lightweight System with Universal Clamp This easy-to-maneuver system can be used with all types of surgical beds while eliminating the need for adaptors. Battery Powered Surgery is no longer dependent on OR settings for air pressure; this chargeable battery provides power suited for use in domestic or international facilities. Shoulder Offering instantaneous repositioning, the SPIDER2 Limb Positioner delivers exceptional control of abduction, rotation and forward flexion in both beach chair and lateral decubitus positions with both forward and downward traction. Beach Chair Positioning Easy maneuverability: can attach to T-MAX Beach Chair or OR table rail; ideal positioning for humeral nails and fx fixation. Unimpeded access to the shoulder Stability of torso throughout procedure Control of head position Lateral Decubitus Control of internal/external rotation Measured traction without weights Enhanced ability to control abduction, forward flexion and rotation Secondary humeral distraction with the Lateral JACK, to gain space in glenohumeral joint for instability repairs Knee Versatile and controlled, the SPIDER2 Limb Positioner allows for a full range of motion in arthroscopic and open knee procedures.
