Exoskeletons adapted for plastic surgeons

Exoskeletons adapted for plastic surgeons

Being a plastic surgeon means combining extreme precision with remarkable endurance to perform complex procedures.

Repeating meticulous actions, such as suturing delicate tissues, puts a lot of strain on the shoulders and arms.

Working long hours in constraining positions, often in confined spaces, adopting asymmetrical postures, like leaning on one arm or twisting to access certain areas, increases the pressure on the body.

These intensive efforts put a strain on the muscular and joint system, leading to fatigue and increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

The exoskeleton is an innovative solution to reduce fatigue and prevent these risks.

The issues faced by plastic surgeons

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

Back pain

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

SHOULDER AND ARM PAIN

Problems with pain and tension in the shoulders and arms, risks of tendinitis and rotator cuff injuries

More than 66% of surgeons report having suffered from MSDs

According to the Stucky & Coll study, the most affected areas are:

The back
