Anyone have picture of the shoulder head positioner?

Published

For the life of me I can't remember what its called, and I need a picture of it!!

Could you tell me who manufactures the McConnell arm holder? I would appreciate any information you could provide.

We have moved away from using the McConnell and we are now using the Spider hydraulic system. Anyone out there using this? It is FAR AND AWAY better than the McConnell. We use a Schlien on the bed and then we can attach the Spider to the bed railing and then the surgeon can position the arm with a foot pedal that is hooked up to a nitrogen hose. This is only used for shoulder surgeries at my hospital right now, but I can see how this system can have many uses. We call it the "robotic med student"!

Way to go on the Mayfield guess!
