INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
3.3 System Setup and Use:
1. Prior to placing the Stirrups on the table, the patient should be examined and as-
sessed for any pre-existing conditions that might prohibit the safe use of lithotomy
positioning equipment.
2. Stirrups can be mounted to the table using the Secure-Release™ clamps, the Select
blade clamps, Simple blade clamp or a standard surgical table blade rail clamp.
3. Position the blade clamp adjacent to the patient's hip. The longer lateral fin of each
stirrup boot should be positioned on the lateral side of the patient leg. Insert the blade
of the stirrup fully into the table clamp. Tighten the clamp by turning the knob clock-
wise.
4. The curve in the stirrup support structure should be positioned parallel to the patient's
femur and the stirrup ball joint should be in alignment with the femoral head.
5. WARNING: Once the stirrup is in the desired position, the blade clamps should be
tightened in the clamping mechanism. It is important that the clamps be tightened and
tested for security.
6. Loosen the boot adjustment clamp, to slide boot along support rod until the calf por-
tion of the boot is located near the patient's calf. Tighten the boot adjustment clamp
on the boot securely such that boot cannot be moved. Repeat for the opposite stirrup.
7. Position stirrups to be level with the table by turning the handle while moving the
stirrups into place.
For best results, the OR Table pad should be 3" (7.6 cm) thick or more.
3.4 Positioning the Patient:
Position the patient onto the operating room table according to the requirements of the
surgeon and facility protocol.
1. Pre-position stirrup boots as described in Section 3.3 above. Confirm the boot-clamp-
ing mechanism is secure and the boot is positioned properly. Confirm stirrup blade
clamp is secure to the OR rail.
2. Safe patient positioning requires at least two staff members. Each staff member will
simultaneously place the patient's legs into a stirrup. Grasp the patient's heel in one
hand and place the other hand under the patient's knee. Gently flex the patient's
knee while supporting the leg with both hands. Each clinician should simultaneously
transfer a leg into the stirrup boot.
3. Check that the patient's heels are fully seated into the heel section of the boot and
the leg is securely in place. Close the boot pad by using the medial to lateral closure
system with optional Secure-Lok™ Closure Straps or VELCRO® straps. Confirm the
pads are secured.
4. Perform a final check to ensure that the patient's heels are properly seated in the
heels of the boots and that there are no pressure points on the calf. The leg must be
centered in the boot to eliminate pressure on the peroneal nerve. There should be a
10-degree bend in the patient's knee.
