    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • The prone sitting position is advantageous for minimizing blood loss during spinal surgery.
    • Existing frames for this position have limitations in accommodating patient variability.

    Discussion:

    • A new frame design facilitates the prone sitting position for spinal procedures.
    • This frame is adaptable to various body types, including obese patients.
    • Ease of patient positioning on the frame is a key design feature.

    Key Insights:

    • The novel frame effectively maintains the prone sitting position during back surgery.
    • It offers superior accommodation for diverse patient body types compared to current options.
    • Simplified patient setup on the frame enhances surgical workflow.
