AUSTRALIA — Aspen Medical Products has introduced the innovative VRTX System, marking a pivotal advancement in spinal support systems for post-operative and trauma care.
This innovative solution is poised to address a critical need in healthcare settings and enhance patient outcomes.
The prevalence of spine-related injuries in the United States is a significant concern, as highlighted by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Millions of patients experience these injuries annually, often requiring custom Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthoses (CTLSO) to stabilize their spine before or after surgery.
However, the conventional process of measurement and fitting has led to patients waiting for up to three days to receive their CTLSO, elevating the risk of complications such as deep vein thrombosis, bed sores, and respiratory issues.
The innovative VRTX System
The VRTX System is poised to redefine spinal care in acute care settings by introducing a prefabricated design with adjustable sizing.
This revolutionary approach allows clinicians to efficiently fit patients and immediately stabilize their spine.
By providing an off-the-shelf solution, the VRTX System not only reduces the length of hospital stays but also mitigates the risks of complications, optimizing operational efficiency in healthcare facilities through enhanced time and inventory management.
At the core of the VRTX System lies a commitment to superior patient outcomes and innovation. The modular, low-profile design is engineered to comfortably support a wide range of patient anatomies and facilitate faster patient ambulation.
An integrated QR code feature enables quick access to patient instructions, ensuring adherence and compliance.
Comprising prefabricated components for CTO, TLSO, LSO, and CTLSO, the VRTX System offers optimal motion restriction and can be readily adjusted to meet specific patient needs.
This modular approach enables standardization of products and services within healthcare facilities, streamlining staff efficiencies and enhancing patient care.
Enhanced features in the VRTX Collar
Building on the success of the Vista Cervical Collar, Aspen has incorporated enhanced features into the VRTX Collar.
These additions include a symmetrical back panel for precise and consistent application, as well as more fine-tuned height adjustments to accommodate a wide range of patients. An adjustable VRTX Collar further enhances patient comfort and support.
Aspen CEO Jim Cloar said: “We understand the need for an improved patient and clinician experience and we designed the VRTX System to bring value to the healthcare system as a whole.
“Our resulting goal was to create a family of products that all interact with one another, simplify the fitting process through intuitive design and ensure ease of use at home.”
