Baxter International Inc. highlighted recent additions to its Global Surgical Solutions and Patient Support Systems portfolios, including the AAT XR spine surgical table and the Dynamo Series smart stretcher, at the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) Global Surgical Conference & Expo in New Orleans. The new offerings are designed to streamline workflows, enhance efficiency, and optimize time spent in the operating room.

Why it matters

Baxter's new surgical and patient support products aim to address common challenges care teams face in high-pressure settings, such as reducing the need for patient transfers, simplifying patient positioning, and helping to lower bleeding-related complications and overall costs.

The details

The AAT XR spine surgical table allows surgical teams to rotate the table 180 degrees without needing to remove the patient, with fast lock and unlock functions supporting smoother transitions. It also has an increased weight capacity of up to 650 pounds and a lower minimum table height of 22 inches to improve surgical access. The Dynamo Series smart stretcher is designed with input from frontline clinicians to help enhance the care team experience, address patient falls, and improve patient comfort.

  • 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 is currently available in the U.S.
