Cushion for 4544723® pubic support fixtures

This pubic support cushion compatible with 4544723® surgical positioning fixtures featuring a secure hook-and-loop (velcro) attachment system is engineered for operating suites during lower limb orthopedic and trauma procedures. Tailored to fit the precise mechanical surface of this specialized pelvic positioner, this medical pad delivers a stable, firm, and protective contact interface essential for securing patient posture in the lateral decubitus position.
During total hip arthroplasty, complex revision surgery, and pelvic osteotomies, rigid pelvic immobilization is essential for accurate acetabular component alignment and reproducible bone resection. Equipped with a heavy-duty hook-and-loop mounting interface, this cushion installs instantly and remains firmly anchored to the metallic support bracket, preventing slippage or movement during surgical manipulations. Positioned firmly against the pubic symphysis, it absorbs heavy anterior clamping loads without bottoming out, locking the pelvis against rotational forces generated during hip dislocation, acetabular reaming, and prosthetic reduction maneuvers.

The medical foam padding is engineered to distribute heavy pelvic loads evenly across the targeted contact area, protecting the delicate bony and soft-tissue structures of the pubic region. It eliminates concentrated focal pressure spikes and completely isolates the patient from the rigid framework of the positioning device. This effective cushioning actively protects vulnerable tissues against shear stresses, deep bruising, and intraoperative pressure necrosis 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, while the hook-and-loop attachment allows effortless removal for replacement or maintenance.
