Cushion for Merle d’Aubigné pelvic positioner type TAB 275©

This set of 2 positioning cushions is engineered for surgical suites to equip the Merle d'Aubigné pelvic positioning system of type TAB 275© on operating tables. Designed to fit the anterior and posterior support plates of this established surgical apparatus, this pair of medical pads delivers a stable, firm, and protective contact interface during complex orthopedic procedures performed in the lateral decubitus position.
The Merle d'Aubigné pelvic clamp is essential for locking pelvic orientation during primary total hip arthroplasty, femoral osteotomies, and revision joint procedures. Positioned securely against the iliac and pubic anatomical landmarks, these two cushions absorb high clamping forces and procedural loads generated during femoral dislocation, acetabular reaming, and prosthetic component impaction. They prevent unwanted shifting under the sterile field, keeping surgical reference planes strictly immobilized.

The medical foam padding dissipates localized clamping pressures evenly across the targeted pelvic contact zones. It eliminates sharp pressure spikes against prominent bony ridges and isolates the patient from the rigid metal structure of the mechanical positioner. This effective cushioning mitigates the risk of intraoperative pressure necrosis, deep tissue bruising, and peripheral nerve compression during long procedures conducted under general or spinal anesthesia.
The outer medical-grade coating complies strictly with operating theater infection control standards. Fully waterproof and impermeable to blood, irrigation fluids, intravenous solutions, and surgical skin prep disinfectants, its smooth surface prevents fluid penetration. The cushion pair cleans and disinfects quickly between surgical procedures using standard hospital-approved surface disinfectant wipes or sprays.
