Case Study<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I could maintain the ideal surgical position in a limited space.
Removing my old surgical chair made it easier for the hygienists to move around!<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q. <\/strong><\/span>What kind of surgeries do you use Archelis for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use it 2 or 3 times a week, for surgeries that last around 60-90 minutes. I use it in things like implant surgery, where we use dynamic navigation surgical guides, and also for bone augmentation in areas where bone is lacking using advanced regenerative medicine techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These kinds of surgeries put a lot of strain on my knees and back, but by using Archelis I can keep my concentration up during the latter stages of the operation which is a huge benefit. I\u2019d say I actively use the Archelis for up to 70% of the surgery to \u2018sit down\u2019.

Q. <\/span><\/strong>Why did you choose Archelis over a traditional chair?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was using a chair during surgery, it would get in the way, or get caught up in wiring. Since we work in such a limited space, the fact we could remove the chair from the room makes it a lot easier for the hygienists to move around which is a big plus point for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to feel fatigued during surgeries, but with Archelis I don\u2019t get tired. It\u2019s not quite the same as sitting, not the same as standing – it\u2019s an odd sensation. I\u2019m glad I could go back to a standing position during surgery. That I can stand without the usual fatigue is quite revolutionary. It\u2019s different enough to sitting, you\u2019re still putting in enough of your own energy.<\/p>\n\n\n

Q. Who would you recommend Archelis to?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s good for anyone who performs surgical treatments. Younger people in their 20s might not feel the strain on their bodies as much, but I think by using Archelis they could extend their surgical careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surgery is generally performed standing up, so these kinds of assist devices are necessary. So many dental surgeons are forced into retirement from knee and back issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, anyone who does house calls or visits to facilities to treat people in wheelchairs will know it\u2019s hard on the knees and back. I myself had to stop doing house calls because of the stress on my knees and back, so I think having something like Archelis could extend those sorts of careers too.<\/p>\n\n\n
