Slanting Shaped Pads Series 3107
Slanting Shaped Pads Series 3107 – Lumbar, Hepatic & Splenic Positioning Pads
The Slanting Shaped Pads Series 3107 are designed to provide support and protection for the lumbar, hepatic and splenic areas during lateral, lateral-supine and supine surgical procedures. Their angled design helps support the patient’s body in an appropriate position while providing cushioning around key areas.
The pads are designed to help extend the surgeon’s operating field of vision, making them a useful option for procedures where access and exposure to the surgical site are important.
With multiple sizes and height profiles available, the Series 3107 provides flexible options for different surgical positioning requirements and anatomical areas.

Slanting Shaped Pads for Surgical Positioning
The angled profile of the Series 3107 allows the pads to provide targeted support while helping position the patient’s body appropriately for the surgical procedure.
Surgical positioning can influence access to the operative site. In some procedures, additional support beneath or alongside the torso can help create the desired positioning and improve access to the area being treated.
The Slanting Shaped Pads Series 3107 are designed for this type of positioning application.
Lumbar Area Support
The lumbar region is the lower portion of the spine. During certain surgical procedures, appropriate support of this area can help maintain the required patient position.
The Series 3107 provides a range of angled profiles that can be selected according to the patient’s positioning requirements and the area requiring support.
Hepatic and Splenic Area Support
The Series 3107 can also be used to support the hepatic area, referring to the region associated with the liver, and the splenic area, referring to the region around the spleen.
Providing appropriate support around these areas can assist with positioning during procedures where access to the upper abdominal region is required.
The pads should be selected and positioned by appropriately trained healthcare professionals according to the surgical procedure and individual patient requirements.
Lateral and Supine Positioning
The manufacturer’s description identifies the Series 3107 for use in lateral supine and supine surgeries.
In a lateral position, the patient is positioned on their side. In a supine position, the patient lies on their back.
The angled shape of these pads provides flexibility for positioning applications where a gradual change in height or support profile is required.
Improving the Surgical Field
The manufacturer states that the pads can help fully extend the operation vision field for surgeons.
Appropriate patient positioning can improve access to the operative site and provide the surgical team with better visibility of the area being treated.
The Series 3107 can therefore be incorporated into positioning setups where controlled elevation or angling of the patient’s torso is required.
Available Models and Sizes
| Model | Size (cm) |
|---|---|
| 3107-1 | 30 × 18 × 7/3 |
| 3107-2 | 25 × 15 × 6/2 |
| 3107-3 | 30 × 22 × 5/1 |
| 3107-4 | 30 × 13 × 5/2 |
| 3107-5 | 30 × 18 × 12/8 |
| 3107-6 | 50 × 12 × 10/4 |
| 3107-9 | 35 × 15 × 6/2 |
| 3107-10 | 36 × 32 × 9/0 |
| 3107-11 | 50 × 40 × 8/3 |
| 3107-12 | 40 × 22 × 7/1 |
The measurements shown with a slash, such as 7/3 cm, indicate the varying height of the slanted pad, from the higher end to the lower end.
Understanding the Slanted Dimensions
The Series 3107 differs from conventional flat positioning pads because each pad has an angled profile.
For example, the 3107-1 measures 30 × 18 cm, with a height ranging from 7 cm at the higher end to 3 cm at the lower end. Similarly, the 3107-5 measures 30 × 18 cm, with a height ranging from 12 to 8 cm.
This angled design allows the pads to provide controlled elevation and positioning support rather than a uniform thickness across the entire pad.
Choosing the Right Model
The Series 3107 includes a range of dimensions and height profiles, allowing healthcare professionals to select an option according to the required positioning application.
The 3107-6, for example, measures 50 × 12 × 10/4 cm and provides a longer pad with a substantial change in height. The 3107-11 is one of the larger options, measuring 50 × 40 × 8/3 cm.
Smaller models such as the 3107-2, measuring 25 × 15 × 6/2 cm, may be suitable where a more compact positioning pad is required.
The 3107-12 measures 40 × 22 × 7/1 cm, providing another angled option with a relatively gradual profile.
Selection should take into account the patient’s size, anatomical area, surgical procedure, positioning requirements and operating table configuration.
Suitable Surgical Applications
The Series 3107 can be incorporated into positioning setups for procedures requiring lateral, lateral-supine or supine positioning.
Potential applications may include procedures involving:
- Lumbar region
- Upper abdominal region
- Hepatic area
- Splenic area
- Lateral surgical positioning
- Supine surgical positioning
- Abdominal procedures
- Spinal procedures
The appropriate positioning equipment should be selected according to the individual patient, surgical procedure and applicable clinical protocols.
Patient Positioning and Surgical Access
Appropriate patient positioning is an important part of preparing for surgery. Positioning equipment can provide support while helping maintain the required orientation of the patient’s body throughout a procedure.
The slanted profile of the Slanting Shaped Pads Series 3107 provides an additional positioning option where elevation or angling is required. By helping position the relevant area of the body, the pads can contribute to access and visibility of the operative field.
The manufacturer’s intended applications include supporting the lumbar, hepatic and splenic areas while helping to extend the surgeon’s operating field of vision.
Suitable for Operating Theatres
Slanting Shaped Pads Series 3107 are suitable for professional healthcare environments including:
- Operating theatres
- Hospitals
- Surgical centres
- Spinal surgery
- Abdominal procedures
- Lateral procedures
- Supine procedures
- Patient positioning applications
For hospitals and surgical facilities looking for slanting shaped pads, lumbar positioning pads, abdominal positioning pads or patient positioning equipment, the Series 3107 provides multiple size and profile options.
