De Mayo Universal Distractor®

The De Mayo Universal Distractor® applies finite pressure to the femur outside the knee joint. For use with De Mayo Knee Positioners®

Catalog: #907

The De Mayo Universal Distractor® applies finite pressure to the femur outside the knee joint. It allows an unobstructed view into the posterior capsule without the use of lamina spreaders, or a second pair of hands to apply traction. Maximum view allows for easy insertion of instruments, trials, and implants while performing Uni, TKA, ACL and Tibial Plateau surgeries.

Works without tying up a pair of hands or relying on lamina spreaders
Improves access to the posterior aspect of the joint for removal of osteophytes, resected bone, bone cement, and cautery applications
Improves MIS techniques for component insertion and prevents component damage
Opens medial and lateral compartments without the use of a “stress” post
A surgeon-controlled distraction of the compartments reducing potential overstress to the patient’s soft tissue
Tension release lever to fine-tune spacing or disengage distraction

Testimonials

“It’s very helpful in the OR, for example, we used it last weekend on a sub troch fracture in the lateral position and it helped us position.”

- Dr. James Cameron -MD
“I like the SteriBump because it’s lint-free, safer for patient positioning because it’s more secure and easier for the doctor to use than wrapping towels.”

- Caitlyn Pourcho -RN, OR Circulator
“From establishing the position and securing the patient to performing procedures and testing range of motion, we created a system that’s faster and easier while also giving doctors completely unrestricted access to the surgical field.”

- Ed De Mayo M.D. -Device Inventor
Our hospital purchased SteriBump® to replace our handmade ‘bundles’ for many of the same reasons that hospitals moved away from re-sterilizing cloth OR table drapes some years ago.

- Anonymous -Central Sterile Services (CSS) Administrator
"The best reason I have for using the SteriBump is that it is sterile every time. The sterility is validated. We were using rolled blankets that were sterilized before this that were sterilized in Sterile Processing. It's one less item they have to deal with and try to keep up with."

- Brenda Conbeer -OR Inventory Coordinator
