PURIST
Leg Positioning System™
The PURIST enables all essential leg movements for anterior THR in a condensed and efficient manner. It is built to perform independent DA THR movements on a graduated scale - and its enhanced design allows the surgeon to control traction and rotation intra-operatively with precision and without help from non-sterile personnel.
Its quick setup, staff-friendly operation, and small footprint make the PURIST popular with busy OR teams.
Combine the PURIST with any standard OR table to build a superior leg positioning system.

Accessories
​
The IOT Perineal Post (POP) provides hip and leg counter traction for surgical procedures performed in the supine position. The device was designed for 450 N of traction, and provides simple and secure attachment to the side rails of US, EU, and Denyer OR tables.
The Opposite Leg Holder (OLH) provides counter traction and firm position control of the non-operative leg. With its modular design and intuitive functionality, the opposite leg holder allows swift installation on the side rails of any standard US, EU, or Denyer OR table.
The DAA Tabletop 360 tabletop accessory improves surgical access and radiolucency when using a C-arm. The femoral support offers intraoperative adjustment of both height and lateral position to lift the proximal end of the femur for optimal exposure.
This tabletop accessory improves surgical access and allows x-ray cassettes to be used with standard OR tables for full pelvic x-ray visualization during anterior THR.
