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

\u3000\u201cI use Archelis in a variety of surgeries, from laparoscopy to open surgery, some lasting more than eight hours. It feels surprisingly natural when shifting between standing and sitting.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do you make use of Archelis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My usage has varied. I usually use it five or six times a week, but I\u2019ve also worn it three times in just one day. I\u2019ve used it in many different operations, from open surgeries like gastrectomy, colectomy, and pancreaticoduodenectomy, to things like short-duration laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the open surgeries last a long time – I had one that lasted over eight hours, and I used the Archelis from the beginning to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you feel about using Archelis?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I first started using it, I felt a little bit of pressure around my ankles, but after about a month I was completely used to using it. I was surprised by how naturally I was switching from standing to sitting without even thinking about it once I\u2019d gotten used to the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no real feeling of instability, and when you have the operating table in front of you it feels even more stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I perform surgery I get aches in my neck, shoulders, and back. Since I\u2019ve started using the Archelis, my back has been in good condition, so Archelis might be effective against back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n

What kind of operation would Archelis be good for?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think operations where you spend the bulk of time standing in place would be a good use scenario for the Archelis. Something like laparoscopy, where you almost never move would be a good fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of the operating room, I think it would be good for anyone who suffers with back pain to try out, or as a preventative measure for younger doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your cooperation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
