Frequently asked questions
Is the device built with durable materials?
Yes, it is constructed from high-grade aluminum. This material choice provides the necessary rigidity to securely fixate a patient’s hand or fingers during delicate orthopedic procedures, ensuring the device remains stable throughout the operation.
Can this device be reused after sterilization?
Absolutely. This instrument is designed for repeated use in clinical environments. Please note that it is supplied non-sterile, so you must ensure it undergoes your facility’s standard sterilization protocols prior to its first use and between surgical procedures.
Does it offer precise, customizable positioning?
Yes. The core feature is its highly malleable construction. Surgical staff can manually contour the device to the specific anatomy of the patient’s hand and wrist, while the integrated malleable strips allow for fine-tuned fixation of individual fingers.
Is the device safe for latex-sensitive patients?
Patient safety is a priority, and this device is manufactured without natural rubber latex. This makes it a suitable and safe choice for both medical staff and patients who may have sensitivities or allergies to latex.
Is this device suitable for government procurements?
Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. This certification verifies that the product meets the stringent regulatory requirements often needed for supply chains serving government and public institutional sectors.
Is it effective for stabilizing fingers during surgery?
It is specifically engineered for orthopedic surgery where precise, fixed positioning is required. The device is designed to secure the entire hand structure or isolate individual fingers, ensuring that stabilization remains paramount throughout the procedure.
Is the device lightweight for easy handling?
Yes, the device is extremely lightweight at only 0.01 pounds. This allows for easy manipulation and placement within the sterile field by surgical teams without adding unnecessary bulk to the patient’s positioning setup.
Can I trust the Sklar brand for surgical tools?
Sklar is a well-established manufacturer in the surgical field. This product is factory new, ensuring you receive a high-quality, reliable instrument that meets professional surgical standards for orthopedics.
How are the fingers held in place?
The device utilizes integrated malleable lead strips. Once the primary aluminum frame is shaped to the patient’s contours, these strips are adjusted to hold the fingers or hand in the exact desired orientation for the duration of the surgery.
Does the design facilitate easy cleaning?
Yes, the device features a smooth, functional surface that is optimized for clinical environments. This design choice makes the instrument easier to clean and prepare for sterilization between surgical cases, helping to maintain efficient workflow in the OR.
