New Medical Table Design Improves Outcomes for Pediatric Fracture Patients; Doctors' Job Made Easier When Treating Injured Children

(PRWEB) October 10, 2009 -- A California research and development firm has worked with pediatric specialists to create an improved pediatric table that is easier to work with during the application of the hip spica cast, a medical wrap applied to the hip and lower limbs following an injury and/or surgery. The new design improves treatment outcomes of children who have suffered fractures to the lower extremities.

The specialists say existing spica tables are less efficient because the patient is not as easily maneuvered during the casting procedure. In some cases, doctors need to scramble to create a mock-up of parts because they don't have the right tool at hand, a distraction that wastes time and potentially decreases efficiency. Industrial Engineering Machine, LLC, has created a product that addresses the problem.

Doctors need not be limited to the use of inadequate equipment. The new table improves efficiency and streamlines treatment, potentially cutting costs in the process, hot topics of concern in today's health care debate. With medical costs soaring, new technologies of this kind are badly needed, as confirmed by the specialists who are using the table in their own practices.

The new pediatric spica table represents another step forward in the struggle to bring modern medicine into line with the challenging demands it faces, both economically, and in terms of efficiency and improved results for the patients.

Pediatric SPICA Table is a division of Industrial Engineering Machine, LLC, a research and development manufacturing company located in Monterey, California. They specialize in the production of unique, customized products for professionals seeking design applications not readily available in the general marketplace.

An OR Radiographer at a California hospital wrote, "I want to thank you for introducing me to John Teaby [of I.E.M., LLC. He did a great job"… "and it has really made my job easier."
