MedEnvision Retraction system for hip, knee and shoulder surgery
Challenge
During hip replacement surgeries using the Direct Anterior (DA) approach, surgeons often face long procedures and a lack of surgical assistants to hold retractors in place. This not only increases the risk of muscle damage and post-operative complications but also limits the efficiency and comfort of the surgical team.
Solution
Together with MedEnvision, we developed a patented surgical tool that securely holds the retractor without needing additional staff. Comate translated the surgeon’s vision into a reliable, intuitive device that improves visibility, preserves soft tissue, and streamlines the procedure.
The engineering team of Comate easily understood my ideas and needs and translated this into an intuitive product
