New Oakworks Spine Positioning System II is a Complete Solution for Spinal Procedures

February 5, 2013

Oakworks has released a new and improved Spine Positioning System, the SPS II. The SPS II has all of the great features of the original SPS with improvements to meet the needs of the market segment. Oakworks will discontinue sales of the SPS on May 1, 2013.

The SPS II was designed to achieve the critical balance between optimal imaging and patient comfort for faster, more effective procedures. Procedural setup time is reduced, patient comfort is enhanced, and unwanted movement is minimized. The target anatomy is more readily visualized, which allows the physician to perform more efficient spine procedures. Some of the updated features are:

  • New Velcro strap securely fastens the system to the table to minimize movement when patients get on and off the table.
  • Chest section is 2" longer so the elbows can be brought back further for both comfort and improved visibility of the lower cervical/upper thoracic segments.
  • Thinner face rest combined with change to linkage design and update to the locking mechanism, allows the face to be located closer to the base by 1". This increases the relative distance between the top of the torso pad and the face rest pad allowing for greater neck flexion at a lower overall torso pad height.
  • New linkage angle permits lower head positioning with optimal angles, while minimizing linkage interference with the table top.
  • New foam system offers greater comfort with less compressibility.
  • Adjuster pads are 1.5" thick instead of 1" in the SPS, making them more functional.
