Besides its innovative benefits for surgeons performing unicompartmental surgeries where the surgical site is on the inside of the patient’s knee, the De Mayo V2 E® Knee Positioner increases patient safety with new features to the knee positioner’s locking mechanisms.
The system’s carriage has been fitted with a sliding bar, the Varus Tilt Control, that prevents a patient’s leg from tilting out during surgery, regardless of patient height or weight. Patients stay solidly in place during the entire surgical procedure, while still allowing the surgeon to adjust the rotation, flexion and extension of the knee.
The IMP positioner has been made lighter, without decreasing its positioning strength. Its new carriage design provides a better gripping capability by holding the positioner’s boot in place more securely than the original version.
The V2 E® Knee Positioner also comes with an optional new handle on the carriage for ease of locking the boot. In addition, hospital staff can easily disassemble the system’s carriage for cleaning, as well as replace the plastic pad used to slide the system’s carriage back and forth on the positioner.
“The De Mayo V2 E® Knee Positioner is like having another pair of hands in the OR.”
