GStirrups vs. Yellowfin Stirrups
STERIS Yellowfin stirrups are a well-known boot-style lithotomy system in hospital ORs. Like other OR-grade systems, they are engineered for surgical tables and capital procurement. GStirrups target a different room: the standard exam table where office-based urology, gynecology, and proctology procedures actually happen.
Setting decides the winner
If your lithotomy cases run on surgical tables in an OR, a boot system designed for that environment — Yellowfin included — is the natural fit. If your cases run on exam tables in procedure rooms, an OR-grade boot system means adapting hardware to a setting it was not designed for.
GStirrups install on standard exam tables in under 15 minutes with no permanent modification, which is why office-based practices and ASCs shortlist them.
Patient population overlap
Both product families use full-leg support, which is the right architecture for patients with tremors, Parkinson's, MS, or post-stroke weakness. The practical difference for those patients is access: their procedures increasingly happen in office settings, not hospital ORs — and that is the room GStirrups are built for.

Frequently asked questions
- Are GStirrups comparable in support style to Yellowfin?
- Both use full-leg support rather than strap suspension. The difference is the environment each is engineered for: exam tables vs. surgical tables.
- Why is Yellowfin pricing not listed here?
- STERIS sells by quote and configuration, and prices change. We cite only typical ranges rather than numbers we cannot verify.
- Can we trial GStirrups before a multi-room order?
- Yes. Many practices start with a single unit at $2,995 before standardizing across rooms. Request a 15-minute demo to start.
