Key Considerations for Selecting Patient Positioning Gel Pads in Surgery
Pressure Relief & Safety :Prioritize even pressure distribution to minimize the risk of pressure ulcers, nerve damage, and soft tissue injuries.
Material & Design Impact :Evaluate how gel pad composition and structural design influence stability, durability, and surgical performance.
Surgical Position Compatibility :Ensure the gel pad is optimized for specific patient positions (e.g., supine, lateral, prone) to enhance support and accessibility.
Infection Control & Cleanability :Choose materials that are easy to sterilize or disinfect to maintain aseptic conditions and prevent surgical site infections.
