Ankle Arthroscopy Positioning Device
For surgeons who want to face the ankle at the end of the OR table rather than working from the
side of the ankle, Innovative Medical Products has designed the De Mayo Ankle Distractor Ladder
Accessory. The attachment fits the end of the De Mayo Ankle Distractor frame and consists of 6
rungs or levels of elevation from which the ankle strap can be attached, with higher positioning
enabling more distraction of the ankle. Unlike some other ankle distractors, the IMP ankle dis-
tractor and accessory helps to prevent patients from sliding off the operating table. The distractor
reduces the counter-pressure placed against the thigh in a typical procedure, says the company.
