Anetic Aid Stirrups on Stand

Anetic Aid Lithotomy Stirrups on Mobile Stand, Pre-owned

A pair of Anetic Aid lithotomy stirrups supplied with their mobile stand. Stirrups of this kind hold the legs in lithotomy or in the low lithotomy positions used for gynaecology, urology, colorectal and perineal work. Each upright clamps to the side rail of the operating table or trolley, carries a padded boot that takes the foot and lower leg, and articulates so the leg can be set for abduction, flexion and height independently of the other side.

The boot is where the clinical value sits. A padded boot distributes the load along the calf and foot rather than concentrating it behind the knee, which is what matters over a long case: the recognised risks of prolonged lithotomy are common peroneal nerve injury at the fibular head and compartment syndrome in the calf, and both are influenced by how the leg is supported and how long it is held up. Boots with a lift assist mechanism carry the weight of the leg on a gas spring, so one person can raise and lower a leg to position without taking the full load by hand.

Anetic Aid carry lithotomy stirrups within their operating table accessory range, and the range spans capacities from around 159 kg on the standard build to 327 kg on the heavy duty build, with an intermediate model adding a knee support and a squeeze grip handle. Those are three different products at three different prices, so the model and the maximum patient weight of this pair are confirmed in writing before dispatch rather than stated from the badge alone.

Stirrups are bought pre-owned more often than most theatre equipment, because the uprights are machined steel that outlasts several table generations while the pads and the gas springs are the parts that wear. Elarix Medical confirms the model, the maximum patient weight, the clamp type, the presence and condition of both boot pads and whether each boot holds position under load, all in writing before dispatch.
