Innovative Medical Products Nominated for 2013 ‘Excellence in Surgical Products’ Award

June 12, 2013 - PRLog -- PLAINVILLE, Conn – Innovative Medical Products has been nominated for the 2013 ‘Excellence in Surgical Products’ (ESP) Award by Surgical Products magazine. Nominees are determined by the educated, hands-on recommendation of the publications’ expert readers. According to Surgical Products, “The actual users of innovative technology will tell us which companies and products are deserving of the ESP Award, those products that contributed most to surgical performance, efficiency and safety.”

IMP received the nomination for its innovative Tri-Pull™ Secure Shoulder Solution. The unique solution employs three proven systems to confidently secure, distract and control precise rotation of the shoulder during arthroscopic surgical procedures without compromising the sterile field. The Tri-Pull™ includes the Reznik Universal Shoulder Positioner™, De Mayo RoTractor®, and IMP’s Phase4 Gel™ Splint.

The patented Reznik Universal Shoulder Positioner™ is designed to solve a wide array of surgical needs with one device. The positioner can be used for shoulder arthroscopy with the patient in the lateral position or can provide distraction of the shoulder for patients in Beach Chair positioning.  The De Mayo RoTractor® adapter delivers complete surgeon control of the patient’s shoulder in the sterile field, holding the arm securely in place in varying degrees of rotation. The patent-pending De Mayo RoTractor® provides the surgeon not only access to the surgical site but also the ability to “dial” in the rotation and lock it in place while maintaining distraction without utilizing an assistant. The easy-to-apply, non-irritating Phase4 Gel™ Splint is designed with a natural wrist contour for increased comfort while maintaining patient anatomy and improving patient safety. The system represents the most economic solution to the challenge of multi-surgeon, multi-surgical technique traction requirements.

Surgical Products magazine is read by surgeons, anesthesiologists and department heads in charge of operating/emergency rooms, ICU/CCUs, infection control, OR materials management and other areas. With a circulation of 55,000, it is published 10 times a year.
