Cushion for 1002.97A0© pubic support fixtures

This upholstered positioning cushion with wrap-around flaps compatible with 1002.97A0© surgical pubic supports is engineered for operating suites during lower limb orthopedic and trauma procedures. Tailored with protective extended flaps to cover the mounting plate of this specialized pelvic positioning fixture, this medical pad delivers an enveloping, stable, and protective contact surface essential for securing patient posture in the lateral decubitus position.
During total hip arthroplasty, revision surgery, and pelvic osteotomies, rigid pelvic immobilization is essential for accurate acetabular cup orientation and reproducible bone preparation. The extended wrap-around flap design encases the hard perimeter and metallic edges of the support bracket, preventing direct patient contact with rigid hardware. Positioned firmly against the pubic symphysis, this cushion absorbs anterior clamping loads without tilting or shifting, locking the pelvis against rotational forces generated during hip dislocation, acetabular reaming, and prosthetic reduction maneuvers.

The medical foam padding dissipates heavy pelvic clamping pressures evenly across the targeted 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 structural framework. This effective cushioning mitigates the risk of intraoperative pressure necrosis, shear injuries, 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.
