Problem
Orthopedic surgical procedures require precise patient positioning to provide adequate joint access, yet traditional positioning methods can be unsafe, inefficient, and disruptive to the surgical workflow. Poor positioning increases setup time, complicates patient transfer, and can compromise surgical outcomes, leading to longer procedures and higher stress for surgical teams.
Solution
RAD Medical Technologies Inc. delivers orthopedic patient positioning solutions that enhance the surgical workflow by safely positioning the patient and providing improved access to the joint. The RAD Beach Chair is designed to support shoulder procedures through safe setup, practical patient positioning, and efficient adjustment, with features such as direct table attachment, integrated table clamps, and gas springs that assist with raising and lowering the patient. The system accommodates patients up to 500 lbs and heights from 4'8" to 7'2", and includes a transport cart that eliminates the need to lift the chair. All components are developed in collaboration with surgical staff including nursing aids, nurses, anesthesiologists, and shoulder surgeons to address key positioning challenges and integrate seamlessly into existing OR workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and orthopedic surgical practices performing shoulder and joint procedures, specifically the surgical teams including surgeons, nurses, nursing aids, and anesthesiologists who need efficient, safe patient positioning solutions.
