Padgett Brueckmann PM710 Orthopedic Hand, Lead, Reusable, 10" Right Hand

Padgett Brueckmann Lead Hand | Right Hand | 10" | PM710 | Reusable Orthopedic Positioner

The Padgett PM710 (Brueckmann) is a specialized surgical accessory often referred to as a "Lead Hand." This 10-inch anatomical shield is crafted from malleable, high-density lead, designed to serve a dual purpose in the operating room: providing a stable, customizable platform for hand surgery and offering localized radiation shielding during intraoperative fluoroscopy (C-arm imaging).

The Brueckmann design is favored for its superior malleability; the "fingers" of the lead hand can be bent and contoured to hold the patient's digits in the exact position required for the procedure, effectively acting as a "third hand" for the surgeon.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Malleable Anatomical Control: The lead construction allows the fingers of the PM710 to be bent into various degrees of flexion or extension. This provides stable retraction and positioning of the patient's hand during delicate ligament repairs, fracture fixations, or carpal tunnel releases.

• Intraoperative Radiation Shielding: In procedures requiring frequent X-ray or fluoroscopic guidance, the lead material helps attenuate scattered radiation, protecting the surgical team and the patient's non-target anatomy.

• Ergonomic Stability: The weighted nature of the lead (approximately 10 inches in length) ensures that the positioner stays firmly in place on the hand table, providing a steady base for high-precision microsurgery.

• Durable & Reusable: Unlike disposable alternatives, the Padgett PM710 is a heavy-duty instrument designed for repeated use. It can be wrapped in sterile towels or placed inside a sterile glove/pouch for use within the sterile field.

• Radiopaque Contrast: Because it is solid lead, the positioner is clearly visible under imaging, allowing the surgeon to use the edges of the "lead fingers" as a reference point during C-arm checks.

Applications

• Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery: Ideal for ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) of metacarpals and phalanges.

• Tendon & Nerve Repair: Provides stable tensioning for delicate microsurgical work.

• Fluoroscopic Procedures: Essential for any hand case requiring real-time X-ray visualization.
