Why choose this cushion ?
The fixing strap cushion pad – forehead part – is a protective accessory dedicated to the frontal fixing strap included with the 1002.05A0© helmet headrest of Maquet® operating tables. A discreet yet clinically essential element, this cushion pad is positioned between the retention strap and the patient's skin at the forehead — an anatomical area particularly sensitive to prolonged compression. Without appropriate protection, the fixing strap exerts localised pressure on the patient's frontal skin throughout the procedure, potentially causing skin injuries through friction or compression, particularly during lengthy surgical procedures in neurosurgery, ENT or ophthalmic surgery.
Developed by @bloc, a French specialist in patient positioning in the operating room with over 10 years of expertise, this cushion pad reflects @bloc's philosophy of providing protective solutions for every contact point between the patient and positioning devices, including straps and fixation elements that are often overlooked. Its custom-fit design enables precise adaptation to the frontal fixing strap of the 1002.05A0© helmet headrest, guaranteeing stable retention of the pad in position throughout the procedure with no risk of slipping.
The cushioning provided by this pad effectively contributes to even distribution of frontal pressures, prevention of skin injuries and improvement of overall patient comfort during positioning.
Manufactured in France in accordance with the quality and hygiene standards of the medical environment, this cushion pad features a cover designed to withstand the disinfection protocols used in healthcare facilities, making daily maintenance straightforward for clinical teams.
This cushion pad is part of @bloc's comprehensive range of operating table cushions, available to healthcare facilities around the world.
