The product
A Positioning Platform not a workaround.
By delivering repeatable foot positioning and controlled loading, The Weight Bear helps improve workflow, imaging consistency, and confidence in alignment throughout a procedure.
Originally developed solely for simulated weight bearing radiographs, The Weight Bear has evolved into a versatile positioning platform that brings consistency and reproducibility to foot and ankle care. Whether in the operating room, radiology suite, or clinic, it helps clinicians achieve reliable positioning.
- Add bump wedges (optional)
- FDA registered, Class I device. Ships with full Instructions for Use. US shipping only.
Built for the OR
Every part of the platform is designed around one idea
Maintain stable positioning while leaving your hands free to work and get consistent images.
- Four selectable hands-free loading angles, so you can match the position to the procedure and the view you need.
- Quick, intuitive loading that fits the setup you already run.
- Reproducible A/P and lateral imaging, with radiopaque positioning strips that give you a consistent reference for a true lateral.
- Specifically designed heel positioning cups that allow the patient’s foot and leg to remain stable while their foot is shifted (left or right) to allow for improved access to the first ray while maintaining a loaded foot position.
- Stability and control for minimally invasive (MIS) procedures, where a fixed reference point matters most.
- Autoclavable so that it is reusable with no single use components to track or restock.
- Radiolucent so that it allows clean imaging without interference.
- Access windows for flatfoot and tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis, so you can reach the rearfoot without giving up alignment.
- Optional bump wedges for positioning the lower leg at varied working heights.
