Comment About Archelis: I have used Archelis during several surgical operations and it has been wonderful.
I am a doctor with a disability in my hips, and if it weren’t for Archelis, it would be impossible to operate on my patients.
The feeling of sitting, with my weight resting, while actually standing upright, is incredible.

I have been using the Archelis system for 2 months and it would hard to do a case without them now. They have significantly relieved the stress on my back and feet and I have more energy at the end of the day. They are simple to use and I would highly recommend them to nurses and surgeons alike. No doubt Archelis will improve my surgical longevity.

When I first saw archelis, I thought it’s a robot. But its joints could move freely, so my feeling of hesitation completely disappeared. It was surprising that I could walk without any restrictions. I felt like I was extremely free. There is always a potential fear of falling backward in the semi-fixed condition. But, there’s nothing like that for archelis. It is very stable. Our surgical operations sometimes last for 8-12 hours. In the case of archelis, we can mostly be in the sitting posture. So, I think the fatigue of standing for 12 hours and sitting for 12 hours is totally different.

Absolutely easy!! Really. I used it when I was a surgical assistant and a scopist, and it was very stable. I have lower back pain and always wear a corset during operations. But if I can sit down, the burden on my lower back becomes much less. I can be in a sitting posture, so the overall stability is significant. And of course, I can walk, so I think it’s an advantage that I can easily switch from an surgery assistant to a scopist.

For the first time I sat down, I felt like weightless and it was easy and comfortable. The doctor looking at me nearby said “You have a quite relaxing face like taking a bath”. As I can come very close to the operating table, I can make a lot of fine adjustments and that makes it quite diffent from just sitting on the chair.
