Sacral Pressure Protection
The sacrum is located at the base of the spine, between the hips. It can be particularly susceptible to pressure when a patient remains in a fixed position for an extended period.
The Hip Pads Series 3104 provides a cushioned surface designed to help reduce direct pressure around the sacral area. Appropriate padding can form an important part of an overall patient positioning strategy.
The pads can be used alongside other positioning equipment according to the requirements of the procedure and individual patient.
Surgical Patient Positioning
Maintaining appropriate patient positioning is an important consideration during surgery. Depending on the surgical position and duration of the procedure, pressure can develop around areas where the patient’s body contacts the operating table or positioning equipment.
The Series 3104 provides different pad dimensions and thicknesses, allowing healthcare professionals to select an option appropriate for the area requiring protection.
The pads are particularly suited to applications where sacral and hip pressure protection is required.
