Montgomery Knee Board Stabilizes Well-Leg in Arthroscopic Surgery
(Lafayette, La. - March 2, 2010) - Designed by Thomas J. Montgomery, MD for use in his practice, the Montgomery Knee Board is a well-leg holder for use in arthroscopic knee surgery. It is used for positioning of the non-operative leg. Consisting of a piece of flat, 1/2 inch polyethylene with rounded edges, the Montgomery Knee Board is intended for use with a foam pad in order to safely and comfortably immobilize the well-leg. It is held in place by the patient's weight under the pad of the operating table.
The board is wedged between the operating table and the table's cushion. The patient's buttocks stabilize the board, which can then be adjusted in an infinite number of ways to accommodate the varied patient's habitus. The board does not come into contact with the patient and its surface is non-staining, making it easy to clean and disinfect after each use in the operating room. Use of the Montgomery Knee Board gives the operating room staff confidence that the leg will be quickly, comfortably and safely supported throughout the procedure.
“We chose to exhibit at the AAOS 2010 Annual Meeting, March 9-13, in New Orleans, Louisiana because it offers us the single, best opportunity to exhibit our product,” said Thomas Montgomery, MD, Montgomery Knee Board inventor and orthopedic surgeon based in Lafayette, Louisiana. “We are pleased to be part of the largest gathering of companies displaying products and services specifically for the orthopedic surgeon.”
The AAOS 2010 Annual Meeting is anticipated to bring over 14,000 domestic and international orthopedic surgeons, as well as other healthcare professionals, to New Orleans, Louisiana, March 9-13. The Morial Convention Center will be the location for all exhibits and scientific programming.
The Montgomery Knee Board is on display at booth #229 in the AAOS Exhibit area. For more information, interviews or product photos, call Julie Calzone (337) 235-2924 ext 18 or via email at jcalzone@calzone.com.
