INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
3. Pre-position the Stirrup Boots by loosening the Boot Locking Mechanism and
sliding the Boot along the post until the top end (calf portion) of the Boot is
located approximately at the patient's mid-calf. Tighten the Boot Locking
Mechanism securely. Repeat above procedure for the other Stirrup.
4. Position Stirrup to be level with the table by twisting the Release Handle and
moving the Stirrup downward.
To Position the Patients onto the Stirrups:
5. Make sure the patient is positioned on the table in accordance with procedure
& surgeon requirements.
6. Positioning should be performed by 2 staff members. Support each of the
patient's legs by grasping the heel in one hand and the under-side of the knee
with the other. Gently flex the knees and simultaneously transfer both legs into
the Boots.
7. Make sure the patient's heels are securely seated in the heels of the Boots.
8. Observe the general guidelines with regards to proper initial leg flexion:
When using LOW LITHOTOMY, take care not to hyperextend the leg while
•
achieving desired abduction.
When using MEDIUM or HIGH LITHOTOMY, use minimal initial leg flexion and
•
abduction as both will increase as legs are raised.
The ankle, knee, and opposing shoulder should be maintained in a
•
relatively straight-line during positioning. Notice that for a typical patient,
the thigh and foot are abducted at approximately the same angle.
9. To fine tune the Boot position and flexion, support the Boot heel with one hand
and, with the other hand, loosen the Boot Locking Mechanism. Use both hands
to support and adjust the Boot to desired position. Tighten clamping mechanism
securely.
