Abstract

Effective continuous traction is essential for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in the lateral decubitus position. However, traditional skin traction devices struggle to maintain consistent local pressure regulation. To address this limitation, we introduce a constant-pressure sleeve equipped with a pneumatic control and feedback system.
