Raise the latches on both sides of the tabletop extension. 2. Slide the tabletop extension onto the rails of the surgical table. Note: If the tabletop extension does not properly align with the rails of a compatible surgical table, contact your Stryker representative to make the proper adjustments. (See section 2.2 for list of compatible surgical tables.) 3. Slide the tabletop extension as far as possible along the surgical table s rails. 4. Press down on each latch so that they are flat against the rail. 24

27 5. Tighten the knobs on both sides of the tabletop extension. 6.6 Prepare the Fine-Traction Element 1. Fully extend each fine-traction element toward the surgical table by turning the fine traction crank-handle counterclockwise. Note: During the procedure, fine traction can only be added if the fine-traction element has been extended during set-up. 25

28 7 Patient Set up A Patient Safety Kit is required for each case. Have the appropriately-sized Patient Safety Kit ready for use. Note: The Patient Safety Kit is provided in three sizes (small, medium and large) based on the size of the patient s foot. Use the size chart affixed to the box of the Patient Safety Kit as a guide for selecting the correct size for the patient. The Patient Safety Kit contains the single-use devices for the patient: a pair of boot liners a patient-positioning kit consisting of a patient-positioning pad with a positioning strap a clear, sterile drape Warning: To prevent injury to the patient, the Stryker Pivot Guardian Hip Distraction System must be used in conjunction with the positioning pad and the boot liners in the Patient Safety Kit. Set up the patient by completing the following tasks sequentially: Secure the Patient-Positioning Pad Put the Boot Liners on the Patient Put the Boots on the Patient Position the Patient Put the Hip Distractor in Glide Mode Connect the Patient s Boots to the Device Put the Patient into Trendelenburg Position (Optional) Install the Perineal Post and Pad Adjust the Hip Distractor for Patient Height Drape the Device 26

29 7.1 Secure the Patient-Positioning Pad This task may be completed prior to bringing the patient into the room. 1. Remove the patient-positioning kit from the Patient Safety Kit. 2. Place the positioning pad (blue side up) on the distal portion of the tabletop extension, aligning the semi-circle curve of the pad with the semi-circle curve of the tabletop extension. 3. Loop the distal straps of the positioning pad through the slots of the tabletop extension and secure them. 4. Loop the positioning pad s proximal straps around the rails of the surgical table and secure them tightly. 5. Attach the positioning strap. Note: The positioning strap comes in two parts that attach to opposite sides of the surgical table. Once a patient is on the surgical table, these two sides are joined like a seatbelt to prevent patient rolls or falls from the surgical table. a. Place one side of the positioning strap (blue side up) on the surgical table near the proximal strap (and between the proximal and distal straps). b. Take the plastic loop of the positioning strap around the outside of the table rail and pull it up on the inside of the table rail. c. Thread the Velcro end through the plastic loop of the positioning strap. d. Tighten by pushing the plastic loop back down toward the table rail. e. Repeat these steps with the other side of the positioning strap, attaching to the opposite side of the surgical table. 7.2 Put the Boot Liners on the Patient 1. If the patient is ambulatory, have the patient lie on the surgical table with his or her feet at the edge of the tabletop extension. Secure the position strap around the patient. If the patient is not ambulatory, put the boot liners on the patient while they are still on the gurney, starting with step 2. 27

30 Warning: Do not allow the patient to sit on the tabletop extension. The tabletop extension has a weight limit of 250 pounds (113.4 kg). Exceeding the weight limit may result in harm to the patient or damage to the tabletop extension. 2. Place the patient s heel into the center of one of the boot liners. Note: The boot liners are interchangeable: there is no left or right boot liner. Flexion of the knee can help to seat the heel or, if the leg is laying flat, tug on the top and bottom of the inner and outer boot liner to help seat the heel. The boot liners have four pairs of flaps that connect with Velcro. The two smaller (inner) pairs have foam cushioning. One of these smaller pairs wraps around the patient s foot and the other wraps just above the patient s ankle. The two larger, outer pairs of flaps wrap around the smaller ones. 3. Grab the topmost inner pair of flaps and pull each flap around the patient s ankle until the edges of foam cushioning meet each other, then secure the Velcro. Note: The inner, foam cushioned flaps do not need to be tight. It is much more important that the foam cushioning does not overlap. 4. Pull the second pair of inner flaps around the patient s foot until the edges of the foam cushioning meet, then secure the Velcro. Warning: Do not overlap the foam cushioning of the inner flaps, and do not leave a wide gap between the edges of the foam cushioning. Improperly securing the boot liner may result in unwanted pressure points for the patient. 5. Pull the smaller pair of outer flaps around the patient s foot and secure the Velcro, taking care to work out any folds or creases in the process. 28

31 6. Pull the last pair of outer flaps around the patient s calf and secure the Velcro, taking care to work out any folds or creases in the process. Warning: Inspect the boot liner to ensure there are no folds or creases, as these may cause unwanted pressure points. 7. Repeat these steps with the other foot. 7.3 Put the Boots on the Patient The boot liners must be put on the patient before putting on the boots. The top shell of the boot is connected to the boot with six black tabs. Each boot also has three Boa knobs that are pressed and turned to tighten the boot. When pulled out, the Boa knobs loosen automatically, without the need for turning. If the patient is not ambulatory, put the boots on the patient while the patient is on the gurney. Caution: Handle the boots carefully. Boots may break if dropped. 1. Open the boot by releasing the three black tabs on the lateral side of the boot. The other three black tabs should remain connected. Note: The boots are interchangeable: there is no left or right boot. Flexion of the knee can help to seat the heel of the patient into the heel of the boot. 29

32 2. Place the heel of the patient s wrapped foot into the heel of the boot. Make sure the heel is seated fully in the boot. 3. Pull the boot shell over the top of the patient s foot. 4. Attach the three black tabs. Ensuring there are no twists in the laces, pull each black tab over its loop to secure it. Note: The black tab should end up securely on the loop. To ensure proper fit, make sure the laces are not twisted. 5. Tighten the boot. a. Push each Boa knob down. b. Using the thumb and pointer finger, tighten all Boa knobs until they each feel tight to the fingers. Note: Do not tighten a Boa knob completely before moving to the next one. Instead, go back and forth between all three, tightening them as evenly as possible. c. Once all three Boa knobs have been tightened, give each Boa knob one or two more turns, as needed. Warning: Do not over-tighten the boots. The boots should be tight enough to hold a foot in place, but not so tight that they restrict circulation. Note: To loosen the boot at any point, pull up on the Boa knob. Do not turn the Boa knob to loosen. 6. Repeat these steps for the other boot. 7.4 Position the Patient Note: Follow facility patient-positioning procedures at all times. 1. Unstrap the positioning strap from the patient. 2. Slide the patient toward the hip distractor frame. If the patient was not ambulatory, transfer the patient from the gurney to the surgical table. 30

33 3. Position the operative hip on the lateral edge of the tabletop extension, just distal to the metal supports on the side of the tabletop extension. Warning: Ensure patient s bare back completely contacts the patient safety pad to reduce patient sliding when traction is pulled. 4. To reduce the risk of the patient rolling, angle the patient s head toward the nonoperative side of the surgical table. 5. Secure the patient again with the positioning strap. 7.5 Put the Hip Distractor in Glide Mode Glide mode allows the device to move freely. Putting the device in glide mode makes it easier to accomplish patient set-up activites. Glide mode is useful during the procedure, as well, to aid in increasing or decreasing gross traction and flexing the hip. To put the device into glide mode: 1. Depress and hold the red button on the trigger handle. 2. Pull the trigger Release the red button first, followed by the trigger. Note: The button will remain depressed and the trigger will stay in the pulled position. 4. Repeat these steps for the other vertical spar. Note: To take the one of the vertical spars out of glide mode, press the red button to reset the button and the trigger. The vertical spar will now be locked in its position. 31

34 7.6 Connect the Patient s Boots to the Device 1. Make sure the vertical spar is in glide mode so that it moves freely. 2. Slide the vertical spar close enough to the surgical table to connect the boots. 3. Connect the boot to the boot connector. a. Turn the internal/external rotation lever on the fine-traction element to loosen the boot connector. b. Support the patient s leg. c. Pull the metal pin of the boot connector located on the fine-traction element. d. Align the hole on the boot with the pin. e. Release the pin. Note: If properly aligned, no red will show on the sides of the pin. If red shows, pull the pin and realign the boot. f. Secure the boot connector in place by turning the internal/external rotation lever to tighten it. 4. Repeat these steps for the second boot. Note: Although only one side will be pulling traction, both boots must be secured. 32

35 7.7 Put the Patient into the Trendelenburg Position Warning: To avoid injury to the patient when putting him or her into the Tredelenburg position, make sure the vertical spar is in glide mode and that the internal/ external rotation lever on the boot connect is loosened. Note: If using the optional perineal post, see instructions for installing the perineal post and pad (section 7.8). When using the perineal post, this step may be skipped but is still recommended. 1. Make sure each vertical spar is in glide mode. 2. Put the patient in Trendelenburg position, with an angle of 10. Note: The tabletop extension has a guide (an inclinometer) affixed to its side to help visually estimate the angle. An angle of up to 15 of Tredelenburg may be needed for patients who are harder to distract. Tilting the table 1 2 degrees to the contra-lateral (non-operative) side may also be helpful for patients who are harder to distract 33

36 7.8 (Optional) Install the Perineal Post and Pad At the surgeon s discretion, a perineal post may be used with the Stryker Pivot Guardian Hip Distractor. Except where noted, all other set-up and operational instructions apply. Note: If Trendelenburg positioning is used, the perineal post and pad are not necessary. 1. Make sure approximately 5 inches (13 cm) of the perineal post extends from the bottom of the pad so it can be inserted into the tabletop extension. 2. Insert the perineal post into the tabletop extension, using the hole that is on the operative side. 3. Make sure each vertical spar is in glide mode. 4. Position the patient on the surgical table so that his or her upper thigh rests against the perineal post pad. Warning: When using the perineal post, limit the time that the patient is in traction to no more than 90 minutes. Excessive traction duration may result in harm to the patient. 34

37 7.9 Adjust the Hip Distractor for Patient Height The patient should be properly positioned for the procedure before the device is adjusted for the patient s height. Also, each vertical spar should be in glide mode and each internal/external rotation lever on the boot connector should be loosened. Note: In addition to following facility patient-positioning procedures, adjusting the hip distractor frame for the patient s height requires one person to manipulate the hip distractor frame while another person supports the patient s leg. 1. Loosen the knob on the side of the horizontal spar until the horizontal spar extends easily. Note: Make sure the abduction locks on both horizontal spars are unlocked. If either abduction lock is locked, step on the foot pedal of the horizontal spar to release it. 2. While one person supports the patient s leg, slide the vertical spar to the starting zone, aligning the white arrow on the vertical spar with the white arrow on the horizontal spar. 35

38 3. Push the red button on the trigger handle to lock the vertical spar in place (and take it out of glide mode). 4. Extend the horizontal spar. a. Pull back on the locked vertical spar to extend the horizontal spar until there is no more flexion in the patient s knees and the proper hip flexion has been achieved. 36

39 b. Secure the horizontal spar by tightening the knob on the side of the horizontal spar. 5. Step on the foot pedal (abduction lock) of the horizontal spar to secure the horizontal spar. 37

40 6. Repeat these steps for the patient s other leg Drape the Device Warning: The drape provided contains iodine. Do not use this drape if the patient is allergic to iodine. Caution: For use of the drape, follow the instructions provided with the drape. 1. Affix the drape to the patient per the drape s instructions. (After the procedure, remove the drape from the patient per the drape s instructions.) 2. Pull the upper portion of the drape over the patient s head and attach it per facility practices. 3. Pull the lower portion of the drape over the fine-traction elements of the hip distractor frame. Note: Some of the hip distractor frame s controls may then be accessed from the sterile field through the top of the drape. All functions of the hip distractor frame can be performed from outside of the sterile field by accessing controls under the drape or beyond the drape s reach. 38

41 8 Intra procedure Use of the Hip Distractor During the procedure, the hip distractor can be used to perform various tasks, including increasing or decreasing gross traction and fine traction, abducting and adducting, rotating the foot internally or externally, and flexing the hip. 8.1 Pull Gross Traction 1. To increase gross traction, put the vertical spar into glide mode. 2. Using two hands, pull the vertical spar away from the patient using smooth, controlled movement. Warning: To avoid injury to the patient, do not pull gross traction too quickly or farther than needed. 3. When appropriate traction is achieved, press the red button to lock the vertical spar in place. 8.2 Increase or Decrease Fine Traction Warning: To avoid injury, do not increase or decrease fine traction too quickly. Increase and decrease fine traction with slow, controlled movements. 1. To increase fine traction, turn the fine traction crank-handle clockwise. 2. To decrease fine traction, turn the fine traction crank-handle counterclockwise. Note: The fine-traction element has a force indicator to help estimate the amount of traction applied. Use it only as a reference.
