The Anchor Leg Stabiliser is a versatile, high-performance positioning device engineered to solve the most difficult challenges in lower limb radiography. Designed to provide a "hands-free" solution for the radiographer, it allows for the precise displacement of the patient’s femur away from the central ray, ensuring clear, diagnostic-quality images with minimal physical strain on the staff.
Dynamic Gripping Power
The Anchor features a unique, pressure-responsive design. Equipped with a specialized non-slip base (M-700), the device’s stability is dynamic: the gripping power on the bottom increases proportionally as the patient applies pressure into the foot strap. This ensures that even the most difficult-to-hold positions remain rock-solid throughout the exposure.
Versatility Beyond the Hip
While exceptional for trauma imaging, the Anchor is a multi-purpose tool that excels across various clinical protocols:
Cross-Table Lateral Hips: Effortlessly keeps the unaffected limb out of the field of view.
Cross-Table Knees: Provides stable elevation and clearance for lateral projections of the knee joint.
Bilateral "Sunrise" Patella Views: Facilitates the ideal angle and stability required for clear axial views of the patello-femoral joint.
Bariatric Imaging: The robust design and increased grip strength under load make it the perfect solution for bariatric patients, where traditional supports may lack the height or stability to manage larger soft tissue mass.
Clinical Efficiency and Safety
Staff Safety: Reduces the need for radiographers or assistants to manually hold a patient’s leg in place, significantly lowering the risk of occupational strain and unnecessary radiation exposure.
Patient Security: The adjustable strap and high-friction base provide a sense of security for the patient, allowing them to remain still even in uncomfortable trauma positions.
Space-Saving Design: Its compact footprint makes it easy to store and deploy in busy X-ray suites or emergency departments.
