Schaerer Medical AG Sets a New Standard with an Innovative Extension System for Minimal Invasive Hip
Schaerer MIS Extension brings great advantages for doctors and patients. The system was
developed in close cooperation with the renowned specialists Professor Markus Kuster and
Dr. Karl Grob from the hospital Kantonspital St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Schaerer MIS Extension(firmenpresse) - (Muensingen/Switzerland, July 17, 2009) - Schaerer Medical AG sets a new standard with
its innovative product for minimal invasive hip surgery. The new system Schaerer MIS
Extension brings great advantages for both doctors and patients compared to all products
that are currently available in the market. It combines a maximum of precise control when
moving the patient’s leg with optimal usability, flexibility and stability. Professor Markus
Kuster and Dr. Karl Grob state: “The extension system of Schaerer Medical significantly
improves the conditions for the surgeon in the field of hip prosthetics. At the same time,
the system can be used in traumatology. This flexibility is absolutely unique in the market.”
With Schaerer MIS Extension, the operated leg can be moved freely or in steps - in rotary
as well as in distraction direction. The haul with foot bearing can be adjusted with an angle
of 75° in adduction and also in abduction direction; on flection level with an angle of more
than 50°. Due to the precise mechanics, the surgeon can cautiously move the leg with only
minimal effort. Each position can be adjusted precisely. During the operation, the position
of the leg can be changed fast and exactly with the help of the ergonomic one-hand
manual control. This controlled handling significantly lowers the risk of injuring the
abdomen.
Schaerer MIS Extension consists of high quality and very resilient materials. It is
manufactured with extreme precision. All movable parts work purely mechanically; there are
no hydraulic elements or electric motors. The extension system does completely without
support. The patient’s leg is exempted and in this way accessible from all sides facilitating
both operation and X-ray enormously. Furthermore, the system does not need a lot of
space. In this way, the operating table can be moved and set flexibly in the operation
room. Schaerer MIS Extension is compatible to the well-known Schaerer operating table
series AXIS 500 and 700 and also to ARCUS 500 and 700.
The innovative extensions system was developed in close cooperation with leading experts
in the sector of prosthetics and traumatology Dr. Karl Grob and Professor Markus Kuster
from the Kantonspital St. Gallen in Switzerland. In the course of the recent two years, Dr.
Karl Grob and Professor Markus Kuster have used the Schaerer MIS Extension in
numerous operations. Their ideas and suggestions for alterations and improvements of the
system influenced its development. The existing 5th version of Schaerer MIS Extension is
technically the final version. It has been tested for several months in numerous operations.
Schaerer MIS Extension will be officially launched within the next few months. On the
occasion of the SGO congress in Geneva (June 24-30, 2009), Schaerer Medical
presented its new innovative product to the public for the first time.
Schaerer MIS Extension is the first product ready for the market after Schaerer Medical
was taken over by an investor one year ago. Part of the invested capital has been used in
the areas of product development and quality management. The positive effects of these
measures already show in the successful development of Schaerer MIS Extension and
also in increasing sales figures. Since 12 months, Schaerer Medical has been recording
continuous growth - the number of employees has risen in this period of time; further
employments are planned. Thanks to today’s financial security, the company is now able to
invest on mid and long term into the development of innovative products. Schaerer Medical
is resuming its place at the worldwide top of medical engineering.
