How much do you know about gel positioning pads?

Gel Positioning Pad for Surgery

Essential surgical aid for operating rooms, placed under the patient to alleviate pressure sores (bedsores) caused by prolonged surgery.

Made of polymer gel and film, it offers excellent softness and pressure-reducing shock absorption, maximizing pressure dispersion and minimizing the occurrence of bedsores and nerve compression injuries.

X-ray permeable, waterproof, electrically insulating and non-conductive. The material is latex-free and plasticizer-free, resistant to bacterial growth and non-allergenic.

Withstands temperatures from -18°C to +55°C. Easy to clean; can be disinfected with non-corrosive disinfectants for operating rooms. Steam sterilization and high-temperature high-pressure sterilization are strictly prohibited.

The polymer gel positioning pad is designed and manufactured using special medical materials according to human body shape and surgical angles, allowing for more complete patient positioning and achieving ideal surgical results.

The gel material effectively alleviates pressure pain, disperses pressure points, reduces compression injuries to muscles and nerves, and prevents bedsores.

Using imported raw materials, the gel has undergone non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic testing and will not cause any harm to the patient's skin; the infusion production technology (i.e., the gel is infused through a 1-2cm infusion port) results in a small seal, making it less prone to bursting or splitting, extending its lifespan and offering high cost-effectiveness.

Contraindications for Use:

1) Not for use on body surface injuries requiring breathability;

2) Not for use on patients with contact allergies to polyurethane materials;

3) Not for use on extremely obese patients requiring prone position surgery.

Supine Position Surgical Solutions

Primarily divided into horizontal supine, lateral head supine, and head-down supine positions. The horizontal supine position is commonly used in surgeries of the anterior chest wall and abdomen; the lateral head supine position is commonly used in unilateral head and neck surgeries, such as unilateral neck or submandibular gland surgeries; the head-down supine position is commonly used in thyroid and tracheotomy surgeries. There are two main combination options for this surgical positioning pad: the first is a circular head ring, upper limb concave positioning pad, shoulder pad, semicircular pad, and heel pad; the second is sandbags, a circular pillow, shoulder pad, buttock pad, semicircular pad, and heel pad.

Prone Position Surgical Solutions

Commonly used in surgeries such as vertebral fracture fixation, back surgery, and spinal deformity correction. There are three main combination options for this surgical positioning pad: the first is a high-bowl head ring, chest pad, iliac crest pad, concave positioning pad, and prone leg pad; the second is a high-bowl head ring, chest pad, iliac crest pad, and modified leg pad; the third is a high-bowl head ring, adjustable prone pad, and modified leg pad.

Lateral Position Surgical Solutions

Commonly used in craniotomy and thoracic surgery. There are two main combination options for this surgical positioning pad: the first is a high-bowl head ring, shoulder pad, upper limb concave positioning pad, and tunnel pad; the second is a high-bowl head ring, shoulder pad, upper limb concave positioning pad, leg pad, forearm restraint, and hip joint restraint. The lateral position is commonly used in craniotomy and thoracic surgery.

Lateral Position Surgical Solutions

Commonly used in craniotomy and thoracic surgery. There are two main combination options for this surgical positioning pad: the first is a high-bowl head ring, shoulder pad, upper limb concave positioning pad, and tunnel pad; the second is a high-bowl head ring, shoulder pad, upper limb concave positioning pad, leg pad, forearm restraint, and hip joint restraint. The lateral position is commonly used in craniotomy and thoracic surgery.

Lithotomy Position Surgical Solutions

Typically used in surgeries of the rectum, perineum, and female vagina. There is only one combination option for this surgical positioning pad: a high-bowl head ring, upper limb concave positioning pad, buttock pad, and memory foam square pad.
