Mizuho OSI 5855-137 Lateral Perineal Post/ Tibia Counter Traction Post 16"

Mizuho OSI 5855-137 16" Lateral Perineal & Tibia Counter-Traction Post

The Mizuho OSI 5855-137 is a professional-grade surgical subcomponent engineered for high-tension orthopedic trauma cases. As a vital part of the 5855 Orthopedic Trauma Top accessory suite, this 16-inch post serves a dual purpose: it acts as a lateral stabilizer for patients in the side-lying position and provides a firm "stop" for the tibia or pelvis during axial traction. Its extended height is specifically designed to clear thick pressure-relief padding and high-profile gel overlays, ensuring the post makes rigid contact with the patient's anatomy to prevent "drift" during femoral or tibial reaming.

Constructed from high-tensile surgical alloys, the 5855-137 is built to withstand the significant mechanical loads inherent in fracture reduction. Its precision-milled base integrates seamlessly with the Mizuho OSI modular rail system, providing a "no-play" connection that clinicians rely on for consistent, reproducible patient setups.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Mizuho OSI

• Model Number: 5855-137

• Overall Length: 16 inches (40.6 cm)

• Function: Lateral Stabilization / Tibial Counter-Traction / Pelvic Blocking

• Compatibility: Mizuho OSI Hana, Trios, and ProAxis Orthopedic Tables

• Material: High-Strength Surgical Grade Alloy

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Enhanced Traction Stability: The 16-inch height provides superior leverage for counter-traction, which is essential for achieving the cortical apposition required for successful IM nailing.

• Versatile Positioning: Ideal for lateral decubitus setups, the post prevents the patient from rolling during hip arthroscopy or pelvic reconstruction.

• Radiolucent-Friendly Profile: The slim, vertical design is optimized to minimize metal "bloom" in C-arm fluoroscopy, allowing for clear visualization of fracture lines and hardware placement.

• Industrial Durability: Designed to maintain its structural alignment through thousands of high-force surgical cases and rigorous sterilization cycles.

Condition

• Status: Used – Functional System Subcomponent.

• Origin: Carefully extracted from a larger Mizuho OSI modular system to preserve all mechanical tolerances and mounting interfaces.

• Functional Assessment: The upright is perfectly straight with no structural bends or stress fractures. The locking interface is clean and ready for immediate table integration.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal professional usage, including surface scuffs and typical finish wear consistent with a trauma OR environment. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the mechanical safety or performance of the support.

• Reprocessing Note: This item is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and disinfected/sterilized according to your facility’s Mizuho OSI equipment protocols prior to clinical use.
