Have you ever tried to pick the right wrench to loosen a bolt. First, you take a look at the bolt and then at the wrench assortment and guess which wrench is the magic wand. The odds are against even the best mechanic to get the right fit the first time, every time. Sometimes it’s not the right one and you still think it may be or it will still work and larger issues become apparent later when you have to readdress the situation. Now think what would happen if every time that you guessed the wrong wrench, you had to throw it in the waste bin and buy a new one.$$$
This was common practice for orthopedic surgeons before orthopedic templating software promised to make the process of pre surgical planning more accurate and efficient. If the surgeon misjudged the replacement, there was no putting it back into inventory. It gets added to the bill of sale. Even simple math adds up very quickly when you’re two or even three sizes off multiple times a day.$$$

J2 Medical has been the leading brand in X-ray image scaling since it’s market debut almost 5 years ago with the Akucal.
The truth is that orthopedic templating is only as accurate as the tool used to scale the image properly. If you begin the process with a poorly scaled x-ray image, it doesn’t matter what software you have chosen, the pre surgical planning measurements will be off proportionately… With up to 20% magnification if the image is not scaled at all.
The Akucal Evo is a patented x-ray scaling tool that ensures the most accurate orthopedic templating calculations and most functional abilities in the world. It performs reliably in any situation whether it’s a hip study, knee study or any study. The Akucal has the smallest table footprint and has the best suction cup known to man so it works on an upright study just as well.
The Akucal’s reputation speaks for itself and is placed in thousands of cutting edge orthopedic facilities worldwide and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of successful replacements per year. Contact J2 today and try one for free!

The NEW Akucal Flat-Base Add-On allows you to use your Akucal on a horizontal surface that is heavily textured, padded, or is simply not a conducive surface for use of a suction cup. The footprint of the acrylic base is 6″x8″ and has a padded bottom. This Akucal accessory product is a must for Veterinary Clinics and Trauma Units but is very useful in general practice as well.
