Anterior Hip
Regular Table

Our products

Anterior Hip teams worldwide have implemented MedEnvision products to improve their workflow and OR set up. Your team can reap the same benefits.

Perform DAA THA with a single scrub at the table, freeing up space and avoiding ergonomically strenuous retractor handling. The Gripper™ System includes retraction devices and fixation points suited for all regular surgical tables. It integrates seamlessly with most flat-handled retractors available on the market.

The Gripper™ System for DAA THA includes a set of reusable fixation points that support the Gripper™ device on the contralateral and ipsilateral side. 

The set is compatible with your regular surgical table and easy to install. 

Achieve shorter, predictable turnover times in the OR with the EsySuit™ Supine, which reduces draping time to under a minute. Its telescopic folding allows for easy setup, stable draping, and effective disinfection. Designed for regular tables, it ensures compatibility with the Gripper™ System and includes strategic reinforcements.

Benefits when using our products

Accurate retractor control

Proper retractor placement is crucial to avoid soft tissue trauma and maintain the integrity of the hip joint. The Gripper™ System empowers surgeons to control retractor positioning, force, and duration, allowing you and the scrub to concentrate fully on the surgical procedure.

Improper retractor placement and force can lead to:

  1. Soft Tissue Trauma: muscle tears, nerve damage, vascular injuries
  2. Bone Fractures : Compromised structural integrity of the hip joint
  3. Postoperative Complications: increased risk of recovery issues, delayed healing

Mitigating staff shortage & Improved team performance

Staff shortages in the operating room can lead to significant delays and workflow disruptions, especially with rising caseloads.

The Gripper™ System allows OR teams to perform DAA THA procedures without an assistant for retractors, while the EsySuit™ range enables patient draping in under one minute.

Maximizing human capital is essential; when scrubs are occupied with menial tasks, their potential is underutilized. These tasks underwhelm their medical capabilities, and may lead to fatigue, reduced focus and decreased overall performance. The Gripper™ System and EsySuit™ range empower your OR team to enhance efficiency, job satisfaction, and patient outcomes.

Cope with case load & Reduced turnover times

The case volume per given time unit holds significant relevance in the orthopaedic OR, with direct impact on operational efficiency, resource allocation, and timely care for patients. Optimizing this metric is critical to manage increasing case loads and creating sustainable working environments.

The EsySuit™ range allows for safe draping in under a minute, while the Gripper™ System keeps hands free to enhance workflow and enable parallel processing.

Explore our Resources for a practical case study. Many surgeons have successfully increased their volume using the Gripper™ System and EsySuit™, handling 4-5 cases or even 6-10 cases per OR day.

Better teaching

Surgeons in training are often asked to hold retractors on the other side of the surgical table, with a very limited view on the surgical site. This is a slow way to learn surgical techniques and gain valuable experience.

The Gripper™ System allows surgeons to teach much more effectively, with the trainee standing on the same side of the table, with a clear view on the surgical site.

Ergonomic ease

The Gripper™ System allows stable retractor positioning and liberates the scrub from holding retractors in ergonomically awkward positions during longer periods in time, preventing fatigue and misunderstandings.

The EsySuit™ is designed in such a way that nurses do not have to lift the legs of the patient long during the preparation phase, preventing excessive strain on the back and arms of the nurse.

In practice

Prof. dr. Kristoff Corten performs up to 15 cases per day in 2 operating rooms on regular tables, with just 1 scrub per table. He has developed the ESY Solution™, a reproducible and predictable workflow for Anterior Hip with the Gripper™ System, the MedEnvision retractors and the EsySuit™ Supine drape.
