Orthopedic Power System

The orthopedic motive system refers to a set of medical techniques and means used to treat and repair bones, joints, and muscle problems. It includes a range of equipment, tools, and procedures designed to restore and improve the patient’s bone and muscle function.

I.What is the orthopedic power system?

The orthopedic power system mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Surgical tools: Orthopedic surgery usually requires the use of special tools, such as scalpels, bone drills, etc. These tools can help doctors perform surgical procedures on bones and joints, including removing necrotic bone tissue and repairing fractures.

2. Artificial joints: When there is damage or disease in the joint, the doctor may choose to implant an artificial joint to replace the damaged joint. Artificial joints can restore the normal function of the joints and reduce pain and discomfort for patients.

3. External fixator: An external fixator is a device used to fix bones, usually consisting of a metal bone needle and an external frame. It can be used in procedures such as fractures, bone lengthening, and epiphyseal grafting. External fixators stabilize bones and promote the healing and growth of bone tissue.

4. Physical therapy: Physical therapy is the treatment of bone and muscle problems through the use of mechanical force and physical energy. Common physical therapies include heat therapy, cold therapy, massage, traction, electrotherapy, ultrasound therapy, etc. These therapies can reduce pain, improve circulation, strengthen muscles, and promote bone healing.

In conclusion, orthopedic motive systems are a set of medical techniques to treat and repair bone, joint, and muscle problems through surgical tools, artificial joints, external fixators, and physical therapy. It can help patients restore the normal function of bones and muscles and improve the quality of life.

II. What drills do surgeons use?

Power drills used in Orthopedic surgery can be categorized into three types : Electrical, Pneumatic and Battery. Battery drill has distinct advantages over other systems, but commercial Orthopedic Battery drills (OBD) are very costly.

Orthopaedic surgery is a medical discipline that treats the skeletal system and related soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Operations in this area require high precision and special tools. In this article, an informative guide to orthopedic saws and drill bits is presented, which are essential devices used in orthopedic surgery.

Orthopedic saws and drills are medical devices specifically designed for orthopedic surgery. These tools are used in different surgeries, such as repairing broken bones in orthopedic surgery, placing prostheses, or removing fragments from bones, and attract attention for their high cutting precision and safety features.

Orthopedic saws: Orthopedic saws are mainly used to cut or shape bones. The device contains a blade that rotates at high speed and can be operated at low or high speeds depending on the force applied by the surgeon during surgery. Depending on the job requirements, different sizes and shapes of blades can be used. It is specifically designed to cause minimal damage to the bone and speed up the healing process during the cutting process.

Orthopedic drills: Orthopedic drills are specifically designed to drill holes in bones. The tool plays an important role in situations where prostheses or screws need to be installed between the bones. Orthopedic drills are available in different speed settings and different prices for precise drilling. These drills are available in both manual and electric models and can be selected according to the surgeon’s needs.

The use of orthopedic saws and drills varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s health status. These devices should only be used by trained healthcare professionals. The correct and effective use of orthopedic surgical equipment can have a positive impact on the postoperative recovery process of the patient, increasing the success rate of the surgery.

In conclusion, orthopedic saws and drill bits are important tools in orthopedic surgery and play a key role in the safe and successful execution of these surgeries. With the help of these technological tools, surgeons can perform bone-related surgeries with greater precision and efficiency, speeding up the patient’s recovery process and reducing the risk of possible complications.

III.What is a Stryker tool?

Stryker Corporation is an American multinational medical technologies corporation based in Kalamazoo, Michigan.[2] Stryker’s products include implants used in joint replacement and trauma surgeries; surgical equipment and surgical navigation systems; endoscopic and communications systems; patient handling and emergency medical equipment; neurosurgical, neurovascular and spinal devices; as well as other medical device products used in a variety of medical specialties.

In the United States, most of Stryker’s products are marketed directly to doctors, hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Internationally, Stryker products are sold in over 100 countries through company-owned sales subsidiaries and branches as well as third-party dealers and distributors.

Stryker segregates their reporting into three reportable business segments: Orthopedics, Medical and Surgical (MedSurg), and Neurotechnology and Spine.[3]

●Orthopedics products consist primarily of implants used in hip and knee joint replacements and trauma and extremities surgeries.

●MedSurg products include surgical equipment and surgical navigation systems (Instruments); endoscopic and communications systems (Endoscopy); patient handling and emergency medical equipment (Medical); and reprocessed and remanufactured medical devices as well as other medical device products used in a variety of medical specialties.

●Stryker Neurotechnology and Spine products include a portfolio of products including both neurosurgical and neurovascular devices. Their neurotechnology offering includes products used for minimally invasive endovascular techniques, as well as a line of products for traditional brain and open skull base surgical procedures, orthobiologic and biosurgery products including synthetic bone grafts and vertebral augmentation products, as well as minimally invasive products for the treatment of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Stryker also develops, manufactures and markets spinal implant products including cervical, thoracolumbar and interbody systems used in spinal injury, deformity and degenerative therapies.[4]

VI. What equipment is used in orthopedics?

In the world of orthopaedic medical device manufacturing, precision and reliability are essential. At Meridian Medical, we are committed to our role as a leading subcontract manufacturer of single-use medical devices, with a rich history of delivering exceptional orthopaedic disposables to some of the UK’s most renowned companies.

Orthopaedic devices are medical tools designed to treat or prevent musculoskeletal injuries or disorders owing to trauma, congenital conditions and degenerative disease. They support or replace muscles, cartilage, joints or bones, as well as the rehabilitation process post surgery.

When it comes to single use, there are several types of orthopaedic devices, including:

●disposable surgical instruments

●orthopaedic implants such as screws, plates, pins and rods designed for temporary use

●disposable casting materials such as splints and casts

●arthroscopic accessories such as burs, disposable shavers and blades used for keyhole surgery to treat joints

●bone graft delivery devices such as cannulas and disposable syringes

The single-use nature of orthopaedic devices poses several benefits for hospitals and their professional orthopaedic healthcare professionals and patients alike. The adoption of disposable orthopaedic medical devices in the healthcare industry has reduced the overheads resulting from the use of sterile rooms, manual labour, breakage and logistics that are typically involved with traditional or multi-use orthopaedic devices. The assured sterility of single-use orthopaedic devices enhances safety, removing risk of cross-contamination and infection, thereby safeguarding patient safety. The procedure specific designs of such tools ensures consistent quality and performance, reducing potential for malfunction.
