Baxter International Inc. highlighted recent additions to its Global Surgical Solutions and Patient Support Systems portfolios, as well as its broad Advanced Surgery portfolio of hemostatic and sealing agents, at the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) Global Surgical Conference & Expo, taking place April 11-14, 2026 in New Orleans. New offerings include the AAT XR spine surgical table and the Dynamo Series smart stretcher, both on display at Baxter booth #1319. Research shows that manual patient rotation during spine surgery is a time-intensive process that increases physical strain on operating room staff.

Designed to support safe, quick and easy patient maneuvering during spine surgery, the AAT XR allows surgical teams to rotate the table at 180-degrees without needing to remove the patient from the table, with fast lock and unlock functions supporting smoother transitions. Surgical teams can control the AAT XR at two different points (head column and remote control) to support easier manipulation and patient positioning. Additional enhancements include an increased weight capacity of up to 650 pounds to accommodate a broader range of patient sizes, a high performance lithium-ion battery that delivers a longer lifespan compared to traditional lead acid batteries and a lower minimum table height of 22 inches 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 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, including reducing the need for patient transfers and simplifying patient positioning across a range of procedures.

The Dynamo Series is intended to help enhance the care team experience, address patient falls and improve patient comfort. 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.
