Cushion 160 x 110 mm for TAB 273© or TAB 313© pubic supports

This 160 x 110 mm positioning cushion is engineered for surgical suites to fit straight pubic supports of type TAB 273© as well as articulated pubic models of type TAB 313©. Designed to match the exact dimensions of these specialized operating table positioning fixtures, this medical pad delivers a firm, stable, and protective contact surface during orthopedic, reconstructive, and trauma procedures performed in the lateral decubitus position.
During total hip arthroplasty and pelvic osteotomies, rigid pelvic immobilization is essential for accurate acetabular cup orientation and reproducible bone cuts. Positioned firmly against the pubic symphysis, this cushion absorbs anterior clamping loads without shifting or tilting. It prevents forward rotation of the pelvis, preserving dependable skeletal alignment against the mechanical forces generated during hip dislocation, reaming, and reduction maneuvers.

The medical foam padding dissipates heavy pelvic clamping pressures evenly across the contact area, protecting the prominent bony and soft-tissue structures of the pubic region. It eliminates concentrated focal pressure spikes and isolates the patient from the rigid metallic framework of the support bracket. This effective cushioning mitigates the risk of intraoperative pressure necrosis, bruising, and cutaneous trauma during lengthy surgical cases 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 cleans and disinfects quickly between surgical procedures using standard hospital-approved surface disinfectant wipes or sprays.
