Modern Healthcare
Modern orthopaedic surgery demands a careful balance of precision, efficiency, and reliability. As operating theatres continue to evolve, there is a growing need for solutions that not only support surgical accuracy but also streamline workflows and reduce unnecessary complexity. The Legholder RX, distributed by novus med, has been designed with exactly these challenges in mind.
At its core, the Legholder RX provides stable and consistent leg positioning throughout knee procedures. With the ability to achieve six distinct, secure positions, it allows surgeons to maintain control and repeatability from initial preparation through to the final stages of surgery. This includes stable positioning at 80° flexion both before and after prepping, helping ensure accuracy is maintained at critical points during the procedure.
Beyond positioning, the system plays an important role in improving efficiency within the operating theatre. When used in combination with a lateral post, the Legholder RX can remove the need for an additional assistant. By offering reliable, hands-free support, it reduces dependence on manual positioning and allows surgical teams to focus on more critical aspects of the procedure. The result is a more streamlined workflow and greater consistency across cases.
Another key advantage is its radiolucent design, which enables clear imaging during surgery without interference. This allows intraoperative X-rays to be carried out without the need to reposition the patient or adjust the device, supporting uninterrupted decision-making and saving valuable time.
Engineering
The Legholder RX has also been engineered with practicality in mind. Constructed from robust, non-allergenic materials, it is built to withstand the demands of daily clinical use while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. Its resistance to common cleaning agents and the fact that it does not require sterilisation help simplify maintenance and reduce turnaround times between procedures.
Attention to detail extends to the improved strapping system, which features a practical locking bar and integrated guidance to support correct application. With both short and long strap options available, the device can be adapted to different positioning requirements, whether securing a single leg section or both.
Altogether, the Legholder RX represents a thoughtful approach to surgical positioning — one that combines stability, efficiency, and ease of use. By reducing reliance on additional personnel, supporting imaging, and simplifying preparation, it contributes to a more controlled and effective surgical environment. For teams looking to enhance both performance and workflow in knee surgery, it offers a reliable and well-considered solution.
