MIOS® Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Solutions

More and more frequently hip arthroplasty is related to minimally and less invasive techniques to approach the hip joint. These techniques enable the patient a faster regeneration and therefore a faster return to work, less pain, less blood loss, less complications and problems with the wound healing as well as a better cosmetic result.

Method of treatment
The optimized surgeries of the hip joint are realized by a soft tissue and a muscle sparing treatment with special and improved instruments. Less blood transfusion and an optimal anesthesia complete the patient’s therapy. Navigation technology realizes a good implant position and supplements the complete intraoperative procedure through the small skin incision.

Instrument features
The MIOS® hip retractors are characterized by standardized shapes and instrument lengths. Especially the tissue sparing large, contoured surface reduces the load of the muscles. Adapted instrument bendings and a clearly arranged range of tip shapes support the surgeon in all established approaches to the hip joint.

Instrument bendings
The MIOS® hip retractors are available in the bendings 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. The more curved instruments are primary for the exposure of the acetabulum, the straighter ones are for the exposure of the femur. The straighter retractors are also used for "heavy" patients. The different tips of the MIOS® hip retractors are available in the adequate bendings.

Implantat specific instruments
The MIOS® hip retractors are complemented by specialized instruments for the Aesculap endoprothesis systems. Curved handles for acetabular reamers, a curved Plasmacup® impactor, optimized handles for Aesculap hip stem instruments as well as instruments for OrthoPilot® hip navigation support the surgeon in less invasive and standard approaches.
