Whiteside Biomechanics BIO-1-1033 Hip Positioner Peg 9"

Whiteside Biomechanics BIO-1-1033 10" (9" Working) Extended Hip Positioner Peg

The Whiteside Biomechanics BIO-1-1033 is a heavy-duty positioning post engineered for the mechanical demands of the orthopedic operating room. Unlike standard 6-inch pegs which can be "buried" under thick foam egg-crate or gel overlays, the BIO-1-1033 offers an extended 9-inch support height. This ensures that the peg maintains direct, rigid contact with the patient’s bony landmarks—such as the symphysis pubis or the spine—preventing the "rolling" or "tilting" that can compromise acetabular cup placement or spinal alignment.

Constructed from surgical-grade, high-tensile materials, this peg is designed to resist the significant lateral torque generated during femoral broaching and hip reduction. Its modular base is compatible with the industry-standard "Peg Board" systems found in most orthopedic suites, providing a secure, no-slip interface for reproducible patient setups.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Whiteside Biomechanics

• Model Number: BIO-1-1033

• Overall Length: 10 inches

• Effective Working Height: 9 inches (Extended Reach)

• Function: Lateral Hip / Pelvic / Thoracic Stabilization

• Compatibility: Modular Orthopedic Peg Board Systems

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Bariatric & High-Profile Versatility: The 9-inch working height is specifically designed to accommodate patients with a higher BMI or setups involving multi-layered pressure-relief padding.

• Uncompromising Lateral Stability: Proper use of the BIO-1-1033 prevents intraoperative pelvic shifting, which is the leading cause of "parallax error" during component implantation.

• Rapid Room Turnover: Standardized dimensions allow for quick "plug-and-play" configuration of the peg board, reducing the anesthesia-to-incision time.

• Surgical-Grade Durability: Built to withstand repeated clinical use and the high-force maneuvers of orthopedic surgery without bending or mechanical failure.

Condition

• Status: Used – Good Condition.

• Functional Assessment: The peg is straight, and the mounting base is free of significant burrs or deformation, ensuring a secure fit in the peg board grid.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical usage, including surface scuffs, light scratches, and typical finish wear from professional use. These marks are purely cosmetic and do not affect the mechanical strength or safety of the positioning post.

• Reprocessing Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and disinfected/sterilized per your facility's validated Orthopedic/Lateral Positioning protocols prior to clinical use.
