Usage

- Use only with Plinth Medical couches and within the stated safe working load of the couch and accessories as specified in the relevant Plinth Medical user manuals.
- Inspect the stirrups regularly for signs of damage, wear, or loose fittings; remove from service and have inspected or repaired by authorised service personnel if any defect is found.
- Clean and decontaminate in line with local infection-control policies and Plinth Medical’s general cleaning guidance for couches and accessories (e.g. wipe with suitable detergent solution; use appropriate disinfectants if contamination is suspected).
Contraindications

- Do not use if any part of the stirrups or their mounting hardware appears damaged, loose, or incomplete.
- Do not exceed the safe working load limits of the couch and its accessories as specified in the Plinth Medical user manuals.
- Use with caution or according to local policy in patients where lithotomy positioning is clinically contraindicated or poses increased risk (e.g. certain hip, back, or vascular conditions).
Adverse Effects
- As a positioning accessory, potential adverse effects relate to improper use or positioning, such as patient discomfort, pressure on soft tissues, or musculoskeletal strain if the legs are not supported correctly.
- Risk of patient injury if the stirrups are not securely locked in place or if the couch and accessories are used contrary to manufacturer instructions (e.g. instability or sudden movement).
