DAAFLOTE is a very practical, precise and reliable orthopaedic table extension which attaches to any standard operating table. It is portable, compact and lightweight, and the surgical team requires minimal training to use it to its full benefit. FLOTE designs out the complexity of conducting DAA surgery.
KEY FEATURES
- complete and unobscured x-rays can be taken during the DAA procedure
- surgeons have precise control of the patient’s leg positioning required to perform the hip replacement
- the hip can be flexed, extended and distracted, abducted, adducted, rotated and reduced without any stresses or complications
- effective intraoperative imaging, helps with preparation and contributes to improved control of leg length and implant placement
- operation by an unscrubbed technician, outside the sterile zone
- helping the surgeon deliver excellent results and allowing quicker patient recovery
With the huge savings that are being gained from the reduced LOS, DAA is increasingly being used in hospitals around the world, and is being widely adopted in the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and the USA.
