The Maquetmatic 1130.70AC leg plate: An ergonomic and adaptable solution for positioning legs during surgery
The Maquetmatic 1130.70AC leg plate is one of the key components of modern operating table equipment, specially designed to meet the growing demands of surgical procedures, particularly in gynaecology, urology, abdominal surgery and orthopaedics. This device stands out thanks to its modular design in four segments, allowing precise and comfortable positioning of the patient's legs while offering excellent ergonomics for healthcare staff.
The articulated segment system allows each plate to be folded independently, ensuring precise and individual adjustment to the patient's morphology or the specific requirements of the procedure. The segments can also be moved laterally (abduction), providing better access to the surgical area and facilitating invasive procedures. This adduction and abduction capability also helps relieve pressure points and promotes better blood circulation during long procedures.
Ergonomics are enhanced by the use of SFC (Soft Foam Comfort) padding, which ensures even pressure distribution, minimising the risk of skin damage or ischaemia. This material is also easy to clean, meeting strict hospital hygiene requirements.
The 1130.70AC is designed for use with Magnus-type motorised articulated modules, but can also be mounted on conventional pin attachment points found on many Maquet operating table models ( 1118, 1131, 1132, 1133, 1433, 7000, 7100, 7200, 7700, 1160.10/30 series). This high level of compatibility allows for standardisation of equipment within healthcare facilities, reducing logistics costs and facilitating staff training.
The plate also allows for quick conversion by replacing the thigh and calf segments with knee and calf supports (references 1005.01B0), thus increasing the positioning options for specific procedures. This modularity is enhanced by compatibility with additional accessories such as the 1130.71B0 filling piece, which further improves patient comfort by ensuring continuity of the support surface.
Lightweight and robust, this equipment can be quickly installed thanks to an intuitive and secure fastening system. It guarantees optimal stability during operations, even with heavy patients, with a maximum load capacity of up to 250 kg. This sturdiness does not sacrifice manoeuvrability, which is essential for quickly adjusting the patient's position during the procedure.
The Maquetmatic 1130.70AC is much more than just an accessory; it is a precision tool that combines ergonomics, modularity, safety and comfort. It supports medical staff in the most demanding surgical procedures, while ensuring safe and physiological positioning for the patient.
