Cushion with wrap-around flaps for 1002.11B0© pubic support fixtures

This upholstered memory foam positioning cushion with wrap-around flaps compatible with 1002.11B0© 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 anatomically molded, stable, and protective contact surface essential for securing patient posture in the lateral decubitus position.
During total hip arthroplasty, joint revisions, and pelvic osteotomies, rigid pelvic immobilization is essential for accurate acetabular component alignment and reproducible bone resection. Featuring high-grade viscoelastic medical foam, this cushion gently molds to the patient's pubic symphysis under the combined influence of body weight and heat. 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, it 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 memory foam medical padding maximizes the contact surface area to dissipate concentrated clamping pressures away from the delicate bony and soft-tissue structures of the pubic region. It eliminates focal pressure spikes and shields peripheral anatomical zones with its padded lateral return. This uniform load distribution actively mitigates the risk of intraoperative tissue ischemia, deep bruising, and cutaneous 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.
