I-SOS-MAIN :
what is it?
I-SOS-MAIN is an innovative concept for managing emergencies involving hands using tele-expertise.
With I-SOS-MAIN, any medical facility (hospital centre, private clinic, care home, private doctor’s surgery) can request specialist advice from a hand and upper extremity surgeon (affiliated with an SOS-MAIN-certified structure).

I-SOS-MAIN :
how does it work?
- When a patient arrives in the emergency unit, the requesting emergency physician requests an opinion via tele-expertise.
- The emergency physician enters the request for tele-expertise by filling in the administrative, clinical and medical data.
- The emergency physician may supplement the request by inserting X-rays or photographs.
- The orthopaedic surgeon receives requests categorized by degree of urgency and delivers an expert opinion.
- With the help of a complete report, the requesting emergency physician receives the advice, informs the patient and organizes a transfer if necessary.
