I have used Archelis during several surgical operations and it has been wonderful.
I am a doctor with a disability in my hips, and if it weren’t for Archelis, it would be impossible to operate on my patients.
The feeling of sitting, with my weight resting, while actually standing upright, is incredible.

I have been using the Archelis system for 2 months and it would hard to do a case without them now. They have significantly relieved the stress on my back and feet and I have more energy at the end of the day. They are simple to use and I would highly recommend them to nurses and surgeons alike. No doubt Archelis will improve my surgical longevity.

The first time I saw Archelis, I thought it was some kind of robot. However, I was caught by surprise at the way the joints could move freely, and that I could walk as normal with no difficulties. I had this latent doubt that I might fall backward, such that I almost didn’t want to move, but that’s gone now. The Archelis feels extremely stable. Our surgical procedures sometimes last 8 or even 12 hours. If we use the Archelis, the vast majority of that time can be spent sitting rather than standing. The feeling of fatigue after sitting for 12 hours is vastly different to that of standing.

In plain terms, it feels great! I’ve used it as a surgical assistant and as a scopist, and there was a great sense of stability. I have lower back pain, so I usually use a medical corset during operations. It’s a lot easier on my back when I sit using the Archelis. Plus, because you’re kind of sitting down, it feels a lot more stable. Not to mention you can walk while using it, so I could easily switch roles from assistant to scopist mid operation.

When I tried sitting down for the first time, it felt like I could sit comfortably. A nearby colleague said that my face looked so relaxed it was like I was taking a bath! The strain on my lower back was definitely lessened. I also felt like my hands were more stable. Because of how you can get close to the operating table, it was easy to make fine adjustments, much easier than if you were to use a chair.
