Cushion for 4601.172T© surgical sacral rest supports

This upholstered positioning cushion with wrap-around flaps compatible with 4601.172T© surgical sacral rests is engineered for operating suites during lower limb orthopedic, reconstructive, 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 patient immobilization on standard operating tables or traction extension frames.
Pelvic stabilization is a critical factor during total hip arthroplasty, femoral neck fracture reductions, and pelvic osteotomies. 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 sacral region, this cushion absorbs axial traction forces and counter-pressures generated throughout surgical maneuvers without shifting or tilting, maintaining accurate skeletal alignment throughout the operative procedure.

The medical foam padding dissipates heavy pelvic loads evenly across the contact area, protecting the prominent bony landmarks of the sacrum and posterior iliac crests. It eliminates concentrated focal pressure spikes and shields peripheral anatomical zones with its padded lateral return. This effective cushioning mitigates the risk of intraoperative tissue ischemia, pressure sores, and shear injuries 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.
