“I can perform surgery in the ideal standing position again”, “By removing my old chair, it’s made it easier for everyone else to move around.”
After experiencing knee and back pain as a result of years of performing dental surgery, Dr. Tanaka had to resort to using a chair in surgery. By using Archelis, he tells us how he could return to the ideal standing position during surgery, and how he believes Archelis could extend a surgeon’s career.

Dr. Sato uses Archelis while performing dental surgery. We asked him about how often he uses it, and where it has come in useful. It also serves as a great conversation starter with his patients!

Dr. Fukuya, an expert in spinal surgery who performs over 350 surgeries a year, has used Archelis for all his surgeries ever since being introduced to it. We asked him how he came to the conclusion he couldn’t perform surgery without Archelis.

“Since trying Archelis, I’ve found that I feel less fatigued the following day. I’d recommend it to any doctors who have to wear heavy protectors at work.”
Dr. Kawahito has been a specialist in cardiac catheterization for 20 years. For protection against radiation he must wear a heavy lead protector at work, which has led to back pain. We asked him about how Archelis has helped him, and if he had any trouble operating equipment while wearing it.
