Symmetry Medical Inc. has launched the ElbowLOC Arm Positioning System through its wholly owned subsidiary Specialty Surgical Instrumentation (SSI). The system is designed for efficient patient positioning, promotes shorter procedural times and eliminates the need for intraoperative arm traction devices, according to the firm. It is part of the company’s Access arthroscopy brand.
“The launch of the ElbowLOC Arm Positioning System demonstrates Symmetry and SSI’s commitment to bringing innovative new products to our customers,” Thomas J. Sullivan, president and CEO of Symmetry Medical, said. “We co-developed the ElbowLOC system with A. Lee Hunter, M.D., leveraging our research teams’ strong design and development capabilities. The system is complementary to SSI’s existing offering of arthroscopic and surgical instruments for elbow procedures.”
“In my opinion, the ElbowLOC provides better stability and more functional positioning for elbow surgical procedures than any other available arm positioner,” said Hunter, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in upper extremity surgery from the Middle Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic in Columbia, Tenn. “The use of the ElbowLOC can save significant time in each surgical case.”
Symmetry Medical is headquartered in Warsaw, Ind.
