Orthopedic surgery, more than any other surgical discipline, places demands for positioning and support on the surgeon and the assistant. Even experienced assistants tire after a few minutes of sustained effort, and loss of position at inopportune moments can compromise surgical technique.

The McConnell System answers the need for safe, sterile, stable positioning and support of joints and extremities during major orthopedic procedures. Full ranges of motion or subtle changes of position can be quickly accomplished by the sterile hands of the surgeon or the assistant.
