Cushion for TAB 246© type knee-chest

This knee-chest positioning cushion compatible with TAB 246© type surgical systems measuring 400 x 650 mm with a thickness of 80 mm is engineered for surgical suites to secure patient posture during spinal and proctological interventions. Designed to fit the specialized mechanical frame of this operative positioning device with high precision, this pad delivers a stable, firm, and protective contact surface essential for patient immobilization during complex posterior surgical procedures.
Genu-pectoral or kneeling positioning requires strict mechanical stabilization to flex the lumbar spine and widen interspinous spaces, while leaving the abdomen completely free of compression to reduce epidural venous bleeding during discectomies and laminectomies. With its broad 400 x 650 mm surface area, this pad provides an extensive support foundation that firmly anchors patient posture without compromising chest wall compliance or intruding on the sterile surgical field.

The substantial 80 mm thickness delivers high-capacity cushioning that absorbs continuous downward loads without bottoming out under heavy body weight. The internal foam padding is engineered to distribute heavy contact forces evenly across the targeted contact area, protecting prominent bony landmarks such as the sternum, anterior superior iliac spines, or patellae. It eliminates localized pressure spikes and completely isolates the patient from the rigid framework of the TAB 246© bracket. This effective cushioning actively protects against peripheral nerve compression, tissue ischemia, and intraoperative pressure injury formation during lengthy surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
The protective outer coating strictly complies with hospital infection control standards. Fully waterproof and impermeable to blood, irrigation fluids, bodily fluids, and surgical skin preparation antiseptics, its smooth surface prevents fluid penetration. The cushion cleans and disinfects quickly between surgical procedures using standard hospital-approved surface disinfectant wipes or sprays.
