Prostrate Pads Series 3102
Prostrate Pads Series 3102 – Chest Protection & Prone Surgical Positioning Pads
The Prostrate Pads Series 3102 are designed to provide support, cushioning and pressure protection for patients positioned face down during surgery. The pads provide support for the chest while creating free space around the abdomen, helping accommodate the patient’s body during cervical and lumbar spinal procedures.
The Series 3102 is designed to help reduce pressure on the chest while allowing the abdomen to remain free from direct compression. Appropriate prone positioning can be an important consideration during spinal surgery, where maintaining suitable positioning and access to the surgical site is required.
The range includes models with sponge and foam bases, as well as a compact option with variable height.

Prone Surgical Positioning
The prone position involves placing the patient face down during surgery. This position is commonly used for procedures involving the posterior spine and other areas of the back.
When a patient is positioned prone, appropriate support of the chest and torso is important. The positioning equipment should provide support while avoiding unnecessary pressure on the abdomen.
The Prostrate Pads Series 3102 is designed around this requirement, providing a supportive surface for the chest while creating space beneath the abdomen.
Chest Protection
The chest can experience pressure when a patient remains in the prone position for an extended period. The Series 3102 provides cushioning designed to help protect the chest and distribute pressure across the supported area.
The pad can be incorporated into an appropriate surgical positioning system to help maintain stable positioning while providing additional protection for pressure-sensitive areas.
Free Space for the Abdomen
A key feature of the Series 3102 is its design, which provides free space for the patient’s abdomen.
Allowing the abdomen to remain free from direct pressure can be an important consideration during prone positioning, particularly during spinal procedures. The positioning setup should be selected and adjusted according to the individual patient and requirements of the procedure.
Cervical and Lumbar Spinal Surgery
The Prostrate Pads Series 3102 can be used for cervical and lumbar spinal procedures where prone positioning is required.
Appropriate positioning can help provide access to the surgical area while supporting the patient’s chest and torso. The Series 3102 is designed to assist with this positioning by providing chest support and creating space around the abdomen.
Healthcare professionals should determine the appropriate positioning method according to the patient’s individual requirements, the surgical procedure and applicable clinical protocols.

Supporting Respiratory and Circulatory Function
The manufacturer specifies that the Series 3102 is designed to help maintain good respiratory and circulatory functioning during cervical and lumbar spinal surgery.
Appropriate patient positioning is an important part of surgical care. Providing support to the chest while allowing the abdomen to remain free can form part of a positioning strategy designed around the requirements of prone surgery.
The Prostrate Pads should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s applicable patient positioning protocols.
