Universal Surgical Positioning Pads
Appropriate patient positioning is an important part of surgical procedures. Patients can remain in a fixed position for extended periods, which may place pressure on areas of the body that are in contact with the operating table or positioning equipment.
The Universal Square Pads Series 4104 are designed to provide an additional layer of cushioning between the patient and supporting equipment. When used with an accessory stand, the pads can help distribute pressure and protect areas that may be vulnerable to pressure or contact.
The extensive range of sizes means that the Series 4104 can be used for different areas of the body and a variety of surgical positioning requirements.
Lithotomy Positioning
The Series 4104 can be used to provide knee protection during lithotomy positioning. In the lithotomy position, the patient lies on their back with the legs elevated and supported.
The knees and surrounding areas can require appropriate cushioning and protection when supported in this position. A suitable Universal Square Pad can provide additional padding between the patient’s knee and positioning equipment.
Lateral Positioning
The Universal Square Pads can also be used to help protect the shoulder and hip bone during lateral positioning. In the lateral position, the patient lies on their side, which can place pressure on areas such as the shoulder and hip.
Using appropriate padding can help provide cushioning and support while assisting with stable patient positioning throughout the procedure.
Pressure and Nerve Protection
The manufacturer specifies that the Series 4104 can help protect the skin from pressure sores and nerve injury. Appropriate padding is an important component of patient positioning, particularly during procedures where the patient remains in one position for an extended period.
The pads provide a cushioned surface that can help reduce direct pressure between the patient and positioning equipment. They should be used as part of an appropriate clinical positioning protocol and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Transparent Universal Square Pad
The 4104-11 is specifically identified as a transparent model.
- Model: 4104-11

- Type: Transparent Universal Square Pad
This provides an additional option within the range for applications where a transparent pad is preferred.
A Wide Range of Sizes
One of the key benefits of the Series 4104 is the extensive choice of dimensions.
Smaller models such as the 4104-14, measuring 6 × 4 × 1 cm, can provide targeted protection for smaller areas. Larger models such as the 4104-10, measuring 75 × 50 × 2 cm, offer substantially greater surface coverage.
The range also includes thicker options, such as the 4104-21, measuring 40 × 23 × 8 cm, which provides a deeper pad profile for applications where additional cushioning or elevation is required.
With thicknesses ranging from 0.6 cm to 8 cm, the Series 4104 can accommodate a variety of positioning requirements.
Suitable for Operating Theatres
Universal Square Pads Series 4104 are suitable for professional healthcare environments, including:
- Operating theatres
- Hospitals
- Surgical centres
- Day surgery facilities
- Orthopaedic procedures
- Patient positioning applications
- Lithotomy procedures
- Lateral surgical procedures
The range can be incorporated into an overall patient positioning system according to the requirements of the procedure and individual patient.
Choosing the Right Universal Square Pad
When selecting a Universal Square Pad, healthcare professionals should consider the patient’s individual requirements, surgical position, procedure, positioning equipment and the area requiring protection.
The smaller pads can provide targeted cushioning, while larger models offer greater surface coverage. Different thicknesses provide additional flexibility when selecting the appropriate pad for a particular application.
The 4104-11 transparent model provides an alternative option for applications where visibility through the pad is desirable.
