Cushion for surgical lateral support fixtures measuring 220 x 160 mm

This lateral support cushion measuring 220 x 160 mm is engineered for surgical suites to equip patient body positioning plates on operating tables. Tailored to fit the precise mechanical surface of standard lateral bracing accessories, this medical pad delivers a stable, firm, and protective contact interface essential for securing patient posture during orthopedic, thoracic, urological, and gynecological surgery.
Lateral stabilization plays a critical role in preventing unintentional body tilting, shifting, or rolling, especially during procedures conducted in strict lateral decubitus or under steep lateral tilt and Trendelenburg angles. Featuring a generous 22 x 16 cm surface area, this cushion establishes a wide support zone designed to absorb continuous lateral loads along the thorax, iliac crests, or lumbar spine. It withstands persistent mechanical counter-pressures without bottoming out or sliding, preserving dependable surgical reference planes throughout the operative procedure.

The medical foam padding is engineered to distribute contact forces evenly across the targeted anatomical contact area, protecting vulnerable bony prominences such as the ribs, chest wall, and pelvic girdle. It eliminates concentrated focal pressure spikes and completely isolates the patient from the rigid metallic or composite framework of the support fixture. This effective cushioning actively protects against shear injuries, deep bruising, and intraoperative tissue ischemia during lengthy surgical cases under general or regional 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.
