The Medtronic Midas Rex EM200 Stylus Electric Drill represents the best in technology. Learn how this tool can help improve patient outcomes, improve efficiency and reduce costs at your surgery center or outpatient clinic.
In order to provide the best medical care to your patients, it's essential that you have access to innovative devices that allow you to perform the latest surgical procedures. One of those devices is the Medtronic Midas Rex EM200.
This system is one of the most critical surgical devices for improving outcomes at both surgical clinics and trauma centers. While most hospitals and clinics have already integrated this device into their standards for care in the decade since it was unveiled, there's still never been a better time to consider purchasing this orthopedic drill for your practice or clinic.
What Is the Medtronic Midas Rex EM200 Stylus Electric Drill?
The Medtronic Midas Rex EM200 Stylus Electric Drill is the preferred surgical instrument among providers in small-bone specialties. Featuring a compact, high-torque design, the foot-controlled Midas Rex EM200 can complete 75,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). It is considered the standard among ENT, neuro, and spinal practices.
Unveiled in 2010, the Midas Rex has emerged as the most trusted high-speed electric drill for orthopedic, cranial, and spinal surgical procedures over the last decade. While this technology has already been in use for a decade at surgical centers and clinics around the country, it is actually based on the well-established Legend EHS motor. This specific motor has a longer track record for producing precise results with best-in-class maneuverability and balance.
This orthopedic drill has no competitors when it comes to surgical performance in tight anatomic spaces. The device also offers unprecedented customization and responsiveness in real-world environments by giving surgeons the option to operate the drill using the finger control, foot control, or a combination of both control modes.
Surgeons also benefit from the Medtronic IPC (Integrated Power Console) System that drastically enhances intraoperative functionality. IPC breaks boundaries with an intuitive touch-screen interface that increases visibility, allows surgeons to use saved custom settings, adjusts irrigation quickly, and offers the potential to run multiple Medtronic devices.
A Glance at the Performance of the Medtronic Midas Rex EM200 Stylus Electric Drill: Product Details
The Rex stylus is powered using the proprietary Medtronic IPC, allowing users to get better control and maneuverability for better precisions during surgery. Part of the stylus's supreme maneuverability comes from its small, lightweight size. In addition to creating a smaller profile in the surgeon's hand, this model also creates a smaller noise footprint using pneumatic-like power that generates less noise.
While the maximum speed on the Rex is 75,000 RPM, users can adjust speeds all the way up to the max level, starting at just 200 RPM. The Rex also provides ease of use by working within a color-coded standardized kit for tools and attachments. Each add-on feature can be added with a quick, convenient setup that reduces downtime between steps of the surgical process.
A Closer Look at Medtronic Midas Rex EM200 Stylus Electric Drill Tools and Attachments
The Midas Rex system streamlines both setup and usage for the surgical provider using a standardized platform of motors and attachments. This tool helps save time by eliminating the guesswork that goes along with swapping out attachments and configurations between surgical steps.
This standardized approach also reduces the amount of equipment that needs to be brought into the operating room.
State-of-the-Art Features
Midas Rex's streamlined, versatile system includes the following:
- A three-step release system that uses intuitive snapping, clicking, and twisting.
- Large, easily identifiable markings that allow surgical staff to match the tools and attachments properly.
- A color-coded system for tools and attachments.
- Ergonomically designed components that increase grip and control.
In addition to providing standard attachments, the Midas Rex system also provides a category of variable exposure attachments. The purpose of these attachments is to allow the surgeon to customize levels of exposure for dissecting tools to increase visibility during surgery without the need to change the positioning of the surgical hand.
The attachments allow for adjustments to be made in 1-mm increments without the need to manually handle the tool at all. Options for both straight and angled adjustments are available for bores in both large and small sizes.
Here's a look at other specialty attachments that are included within the Midas Rex System for flawless integration:
- Small bore attachments – These are capable of accommodating tools with diameters of 2.4 mm.
- Large bore attachments These can accommodate tools that have diameters of 3.2 mm.
- Angled attachments with tapered designs to facilitate visibility during surgery.
- Telescoping attachments with options for tapered straight, angled, curved, and hooded configurations.
- Curved burs featuring aqua-wrap technology to increase visibility and access using small shaft sizes with a potential 20-degree shaft bend.
- Footed attachments provide extra protection for soft tissue when cutting through bone.
There's also a feature called the Midas Rex electric bone mill designed to create a highly controlled method when it's necessary to morselize bone. This innovative tool produces uniform particle sizes.
The Midas bone mill system is a standalone system that utilizes disposable multi-blade bowls. It is designed to be compatible with various bone types and substitute materials. Designed to work with all Midas motors, the bone mill does not require an additional console to operate.
