“Innovation at Baxter is shaped by the realities of how care is delivered today,” said James Teaff, president of Care & Connectivity Solutions at Baxter. “Through close collaboration with healthcare professionals, we consistently evolve our portfolio to help enhance efficiency and support safer care across hospital settings. The new portfolio additions we’re exhibiting at AORN reflect our commitment to driving meaningful improvements that help reduce the burden on care teams while supporting improved patient outcomes.”
Research shows that manual patient rotation during spine surgery is a time-intensive process that increases physical strain on operating room staff.1 Designed to support safe, quick and easy patient maneuvering during spine surgery, the AAT XR allows surgical teams to rotate the table at 180-degrees2 without needing to remove the patient from the table, with fast lock and unlock functions3 supporting smoother transitions.
Surgical teams can control the AAT XR at two different points (head column and remote control)4 to support easier manipulation and patient positioning. Additional enhancements include an increased weight capacity of up to 650 pounds5 to accommodate a broader range of patient sizes, a high performance lithium‑ion battery6 that delivers a longer lifespan compared to traditional lead acid batteries and a lower minimum table height of 22 inches7 to improve surgical access. Together, these capabilities help streamline workflows, enhance efficiency and optimize the time spent in the operating room. The AAT XR is expected to be available in the United States early in the second half of 2026, with select geographic expansion planned later this year.
The Dynamo Series smart stretcher, the latest innovation in Baxter’s leading portfolio of smart beds, surfaces and connected care solutions, is currently available in the U.S. Designed with input from frontline clinicians, the Dynamo Series intends to help address common challenges care teams face in high-pressure settings,8 including reducing the need for patient transfers and simplifying patient positioning across a range of procedures.9 The Dynamo Series is intended to help enhance the care team experience, address patient falls10 and improve patient comfort.11
Baxter is also showcasing at AORN its broad Advanced Surgery portfolio of hemostatic and sealing agents that effectively work to stop bleeding in a variety of anatomies to help lower bleeding-related complications and reduce overall costs.
