Orthopaedics

Orthopaedic patient positioning aims to maximise surgical site access while minimising risks like nerve injury, pressure ulcers, and compartment syndrome. Key positions include supine (for hip/knee), lateral (for hip), and beach chair (for shoulder), requiring careful padding of bony prominences and maintenance of neutral alignment.

We are excited to bring our clinician designed solutions to orthopaedic surgeons and anaesthetists across Australia.

Hip

Hip orthopaedic patient positioning involves placing the patient in either the lateral decubitus or supineposition, crucial for surgical access, stability, and imaging, with careful padding of bony prominences to prevent nerve injuries. Please find our range of innovative and practical solutions….

Lateral

Lateral orthopaedic patient positioning (lateral decubitus) requires placing the patient on their non-operative side, typically for hip or shoulder surgery. Please find our range of innovative and practical solutions….

Lower Extremity

Lower extremity orthopaedic positioning focuses on stabilising the surgical site while protecting neurovascular structures, commonly utilising supine, lateral, or fracture table setups. Please find our range of innovative and practical solutions….

Upper Extremity

Upper extremity orthopaedic patient positioning focuses on maintaining patient safety, maximising surgical access, and preventing nerve injuries (brachial plexus/ulnar) by limiting shoulder abduction to less than 90 degrees and padding pressure points. Please find our range of innovative and practical solutions….
