Medical instruments

Medical instruments in the Finer catalog are accessories for the operating room. Right now the section holds orthopedic traction sets. These attach to the operating table and keep the patient's leg in traction during femoral osteosynthesis, hip fracture fixation and other lower limb procedures. Manufacturers include ATESE and Turkey's Üzümcü Medical Devices.

Why does an operating room need a traction set?

During osteosynthesis the leg has to be held in traction and in a set position while the surgeon works and the radiographer takes control images. Without a device, assistants do this by hand. It is hard work. And the position slowly drifts. A traction set attaches to the operating table, the surgeon reduces the fracture, the set holds the position, and the result is checked with a C-arm while nobody has to touch the leg. The team does not have to hold the leg for the whole operation, and the position stays the same between images. That is why such sets are standard equipment in trauma and orthopedic operating rooms.

Which traction sets does the Finer catalog offer?

The ATESE TS-I traction set for orthopedic surgery is made of steel, and its product card states compatibility with any table. The OM-520 orthopedic traction set is made of 304 steel. There is also the Q3. Some items have a price on the website; for the rest we prepare a commercial proposal.

How to choose an orthopedic traction set?

Start with the table. The way the set mounts to the side rails and segments, and the permitted load, must suit your model, so check them before ordering. Then look at adjustment: how far the limb can be pulled, raised or abducted, and how precisely it locks. Supports in the imaging zone must not get in the C-arm's way during fluoroscopy. The material has to withstand disinfection, and the set should be easy to store on a cart near the OR.
