De Mayo Universal Distractor®
The De Mayo Universal Distractor® applies finite pressure to the femur outside the knee joint. For use with De Mayo Knee Positioners®
The De Mayo Universal Distractor® applies finite pressure to the femur outside the knee joint. It allows an unobstructed view into the posterior capsule without the use of lamina spreaders, or a second pair of hands to apply traction. Maximum view allows for easy insertion of instruments, trials, and implants while performing Uni, TKA, ACL and Tibial Plateau surgeries.
- Finite joint distraction without obstructing your field of vision
- Works without tying up a pair of hands or relying on lamina spreaders
- Improves access to the posterior aspect of the joint for removal of osteophytes, resected bone, bone cement, and cautery applications
- Improves MIS techniques for component insertion and prevents component damage
- Opens medial and lateral compartments without the use of a “stress” post
- A surgeon-controlled distraction of the compartments reducing potential overstress to the patient’s soft tissue
