Orthopedic and traumatology procedures can be challenging enough without having to worry about safe and comfortable access to the surgical site. Specialty tables designed for these intended purposes have eliminated many of these concerns, but until now have not offered the total package of simplicity, precise positioning and versatility that's essential to improve OR workflows, patient throughput and clinical outcomes. The new Maquet Yuno II Mobile Operating Table is designed to address these issues by providing a highly adaptable and configurable platform that accommodates a wide range of complex procedures and patient positioning requirements. The Maquet Yuno II is especially effective in facilitating the minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA) to hip joint replacement. The table eliminates the need to detach or cut the patient's muscles to access the joint, which is currently required for conventional and lateral posterior techniques. Keeping the muscular structure intact minimizes the risk of hip dislocation while reducing recovery and rehabilitation time. However, the direct anterior approach requires a complex series of leg movements throughout the procedure. In this regard, the Maquet Yuno II provides a smooth combination of leg rotation, abduction, adduction, and height adjustments to enhance access to the surgical site while maximizing the physical comfort of the surgical team. The table's easy-to-position traction bar accessory with ball joint and slider mimics the smooth multidirectional movement of the hip itself, and securely locks in place to prevent overextension. For hip arthroscopy procedures to repair damage to the labrum, articular cartilage, or so tissues surrounding the joint, the femoral head must be pulled out of the acetabulum under maximum traction to gain proper access to the site. The Maquet Yuno II is designed to enable traction among diverse patient sizes, while comfortably positioning members of the surgical team to prevent physical strain. Additionally, a lengthy vertical adjustment allows clinical staff to li the patient's leg to the desired angle that relieves the ventral capsule during maximum traction. For femur repairs, a significant amount of force is required to properly set the fracture. With the Maquet Yuno II, the table can easily be positioned at the height and orientation that's best suited for both MCV00089007 REVA EXP 03/21 Getinge is a registered trademark of Getinge AB, its subsidiaries, or affiliates in the United States or other countries • Copyright 2019 Getinge AB or its subsidiaries or affiliates • All rights reserved.

Plus, carbon fiber traction bars enable intraoperative imaging to immediately confirm accurate alignment. In cases of traumatic pelvic fractures which oen cause extensive bleeding and organ injuries, radiolucent elements can be quickly set up to reduce time to treatment. A carbon fiber sacral rest, a fully radiolucent pelvic area, and carbon fiber traction bars help ensure the table's design will not interfere with the quality of intraoperative imaging. Precise patient positioning is crucial to ensure the success of tibia nailing. Positioning the tibia at an angle of 90° or less separates the patella from the tibia to help expedite the procedure. Maquet Yuno II with its tibia adapter and joint supporting arm accessories, provides the required angles for superior tibia access. Smart design improves workflows and safety. The Maquet Yuno II is designed to improve workflow and safety regardless of procedure. Control units are located at the end of the traction bars to permit full platform management even aer the table is fully draped. Positioning the control units away from the surgical site also serves to prevent overcrowding near the surgeon. Furthermore, an automatic lock function engages when the traction bar with ball joint is released, preventing injury that could be precipitated by an accidental release of the extension device. Plus, a star-shaped handle allows the leg to be easily rotated into the correct position at any time during a procedure. A degree indicator identifies the exact position of the limb to ensure accuracy. The handle automatically locks into place to prevent potential injury from human error. While the wide range of positioning options and radiolucent accessories make the Maquet Yuno II mobile operating table well suited for orthopedics and traumatology, superior table stability make it a preferred platform for neurosurgeons working with delicate nerve structures. Several important safety features prevent accidental table movements, including a highly stable three-point cast iron stand that prevents unwanted movement if the table is bumped. Plus, secure lock functions eliminate accidental table movements, even when pushing the hand control buons. The Maquet Yuno II is also flexible enough to be used as a universal table, extending the functionality of an OR.
