  2. In current surgical practice avoiding patient discomfort and danger is one of the top priorities. As more and more new procedures are being introduced in surgery, more and more equipment and materials that help improve outcomes of such surgeries are also being developed. Such a tool is a prone position gel pad that is abundantly used in surgeries where the patient is placed in a prone (face down) position. Whether you’ve had a spinal surgery or a vascular procedure, these pads do more than support but are long-term effective. Comfort and Pressure Relief Perhaps the most useful utility of prone position gel pads during surgery would be the fact that pressure is taken off the body of the receiving patient. When a patient is in this position, there are added risks of pressure points on the chest, abdominal area and face. These pressure points can cause painful sensations, formation of bruises or even more severe problems like nerve injury as well as formation of pressure ulceration. Prone position gel pads are made in order to spread load evenly over the body of a patient thus minimizing stress on some particular area. Through these pads, pressure ulcers around sensitive areas like the face and chests are prevented and the general comfort of the patient during long procedures is improved. Enhanced Patient Safety The safety of a patient during a surgery is always a great concern and prone position gel pads make it better in a number of ways. These pads are made of gel material which favors holding as opposed to rolling about during the surgery due to the way they fit the contour of the body. Such stabilization is needed especially for operative procedures that need accuracy, like thoracolumbar or cranial surgery.

  3. In addition, the support which is given by these pads assists towards ensuring that the patient retains their anatomically correct posture. In the prone position the body posture is paramount to avoiding stress or strain on the spine, joints, or muscles. OT table mat sometimes accompany gel pads in order to avoid slippage on the surface. Reducing the Risk of Nerve Damage Another factor that should greatly concern any patient and surgeon is that of nerve damage during surgeries. In the long processes, pressure on the patient’s body decreases blood circulation and may also lead to nerve compression. Positioning the patient in a prone position can raise this risk as pressure from the head to the toes can overwhelm some of the patient’s body organs and tissues, but prone position gel pads reduce this risk as the gel pads spread pressure evenly and offer adequate cushioning for the patient’s body. Unlike the liquid, the gel has a tendency to mold the frame of reference but in doing so the nerves or muscles are not strained. Minimizing Postoperative Complications Besides providing comfort and safety during the procedure, prone position gel pads serve an important function in decreasing postoperative complications. Such pads enable exertion of a high pressure on the tissues during surgeries that minimizes possible tissue damage and slow healing afterwards. Those patients who have appropriate cushioning during surgeries are likely to suffer from problems like inflammation, blood clots, or injury to tissues.

  4. Complementing Surgical Equipment: Head Ring and OT Table Mat It is well liked due to its versatility and ability to be easily used in conjunction with other tools such as head rings and OT table mat. A head ring is necessary where the orientation of the head is of special importance in surgeries. It is coupled with gel pads to provide support to the head as well as the neck avoiding strain that could be otherwise experienced by the user. OT table mat also adds support to almost the whole body hence allowing gel pads to work really well once a stable base is provided. Conclusion It is evident that prone position gel pads are effective in the long run. These pads have a significant function in enhancing comfort during surgery as well as increasing safety factors in addition to reducing post-operative complication factors present in today’s surgeries. Used together with OT table mats and head rings they provide the best to the clients and especially patients by assisting them throughout the operation process and other related procedures. High quality gel pads must be purchased to promote the well-being of the patient so that they can get the right device the first time.
