Exoskeletons adapted for surgeons

Doctors never get sick, it seems. This may be true for viral diseases and infections because the figures show that healthcare workers develop a real arsenal of antibodies against these ailments. However, surgeons are extremely vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to the movements inherent in their profession:

Repetitive movements that lead to fatigue and pain

Prolonged standing during long days of operations

Maintaining constraining positions is often a source of intense muscle tension

Wearing an exoskeleton proves to be an innovative solution to substantially preserve the health of surgeons.

The problems of surgeons

MSDs manifest in the daily lives of surgeons as back, shoulder, arm, and elbow pain.

Focus on back pain for a surgeon

Back pain

Problems with lower back pain, muscle tension, risk of onset or worsening of lower back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc

SHOULDER AND ARM PAIN

More than 66% of surgeons report having suffered from MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders).

They talk about it better than we do.

Users of our exoskeletons testify to the concrete benefits observed

Surgeon

Michel R. (Andorra)

we have the impression of having weightless arms, and therefore we can have a much more controlled, much finer movement, because we don't have the weight of the arms, the arms are supported "

Surgeon

Daniel A. (Le Mans)

" It's true that it's something that really relieves the shoulders a lot, because it ultimately allows for assistance with shoulder abduction "

Urologist

Vincent M. (Toulouse)

"A device that I have been testing for 15 days, I can't do without it anymore"
