June 10, 2010 - PRLog -- PLAINVILLE, Conn. –Innovative Medical Products, a global leader in patient positioning, will present its latest advancements in patient positioning and knee distractor solutions at the 2010 Canadian Orthopaedic Association Annual Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, June 17-20 (Booth #615).  Products include:

•   Universal Lateral Positioner™ System is ideal for any surgery requiring the patient to be fixed in a stable, lateral decubitus position. Its unique three-point securing system provides ultimate stabilization to the patient.

•   De Mayo Universal Distractor™ provides benefits not previously utilized for arthroscopic knee surgery by eliminating the need for a stress post and allowing the surgeon to achieve maximum arthroscopic exposure through controlled finite joint distraction.

•   De Mayo Knee Positioner®, with its new lighter weight, makes it easier for operating room personnel to place and manipulate the positioner on the OR table and for hospital personnel to transport and insert the equipment into a sterilizer.

•   Phase 4 Gel™ Splint, a unique forearm traction splint for shoulder or elbow arthroscopy, protects against skin breakdown, allows greater flexibility in forearm and shoulder rotation and adds stability and anatomical uniformity to patient positioning.

•   De Mayo Hip Positioner® is a solution for the obese patient allowing OR personnel to never have to lift the patient for lateral positioning and eliminates pressure to the obese patient’s abdomen.
