一種叫做脛骨分離器的新型設備專門研制用于外傷手術中幫助患者位置固定。

這種設備對脛骨插釘、鑲片以及骨骼移植手術時候的軸向對位提供手術骨分離與旋轉。使用這種設備就無需在手術過程中手工固定下肢。這就可以在術中拍片，大大減少了手術輔助人員暴露于放射線的危險。

耐受高溫高壓的部件可以折疊以適應手術室消毒設備，并且提供一次性、消毒的、無橡膠的、保護患者的泡沫襯墊。插入根骨釘可以將患者的腳放置在設備的弓處，允許最大程度的暴露、骨分離、旋轉對位、以及骨牽引來固定。

脛骨分離器是IMP公司的產品。做為患者固定專業領域的一流制造商，IMP對公司獨特有效的設備擁有多項，包括De Mayo臀部穩定器、Universal膝蓋穩定器、以及股骨探測器。

Tibial Distractor for Trauma Surgery
 
A new device called a Tibial Distractor is a patient-positioning aid developed specifically for trauma surgery.

The device provides distraction and rotation for axial alignment during nailing, plating, and bone grafting procedures of the tibia. Use of the device eliminates the need to manually stabilize the leg throughout the procedure. This allows intraoperative imaging, with substantially reduced radiation exposure for surgical assistants.

The autoclavable unit folds to fit into operating room sterilizers, and offers disposable sterile, latex-free patient-protective foam pads. Insertion of a calcaneal pin facilitates placement of the patient's foot into the bow of the unit, allowing maximum exposure, distraction, rotational alignment, and stabilization through skeletal traction.

The Tibial Distractor is the product of Innovative Medical Products, Inc. (IMP, Plainville, CT, USA). A leading provider in the specialty field of patient positioning, IMP holds several patents for its unique and functional devices, including the De Mayo Hip Positioner, Universal Knee Positioner, and Femur Finder.
