Ankle Distractor Provides a Better Approach
to the Surgical Site
The De Mayo Ankle Distractor from Innovative Medical Products gives the
surgeon a better approach to the surgical site while distracting the joint
space to insert the surgical scope and instruments. Unlike other ankle dis-
tractors, the De Mayo Ankle Distractor reduces the counter pressure placed
against the thigh in a typical procedure. Such pressure can be harmful to the
circulatory system. And unlike cumbersome strap devices to hold the ankle
in place, the IMP distractor will not slip off the foot during surgery. Its
ergonomic design positions the ankle to face toward the surgeon, rather
than toward the ceiling.
