ARC Wrist Tower

Proper diagnosis and treatment of wrist injuries can often be challenging. When surgical equipment imposes limitations upon the surgeon and surgical staff, these challenging procedures can become frustrating and may consume an unnecessary amount of valuable OR time.

With the advent of the ARC Wrist Tower, Acumed Sports Medicine equips hospitals and surgery centers with an innovative solution that vastly improves the ease of visualizing, identifying and treating a wide spectrum of injuries in the wrist.

Designed by William B. Geissler, M.D., the ARC Wrist Tower provides stable traction with virtually unrestricted access to the wrist during arthroscopic and fracture reduction procedures. The tower can be easily maneuvered to allow fluoroscopic imaging, and can be tilted or rotated down to a horizontal position to support management of fractures.

Features

Ability to Obtain Both Horizontal and Vertical Scoping
The ARC Wrist Tower provides traction in the vertical position for wrist arthroscopy and may be rotated to a horizontal position to aid in the treatment of distal radius and other hand and wrist fractures.

Exceptional Surgical C-arm Access
The tower support arm swivels 180° about the patient’s elbow and forearm. Rotating the support arm allows greater access on the ulnar side, simultaneous volar and dorsal access for the surgeon and instruments, as well as fluoroscopic imaging from any angle.

Extra Set of Hands
The tower stabilizes the forearm and hand, which provides an extra set of hands in the operating room. This allows hospitals and surgery centers to better manage operating costs through a more effi cient utilization of available surgical staff.
