Multipurpose Relief Slab

An important phase of any surgery is the accommodation of the patient on the operating table. In fact correct positioning reduces the risk of ulcer formation, pressure sores and nerve injuries during the operation.

Furthermore, the patient who goes through local or total anesthesia gradually loses consciousness, motor skills or at least sensitivity to touch and pain.
He is therefore unable to perceive and react to potentially harmful external stimuli related to the position in which he is placed on the operating table or caused involuntarily and unknowingly by the health and social care staff: friction, rubbing, excessive and prolonged pressure, shocks, burns.

Therefore it is advisable to choose appropriate positioning devices that ensure correct pressure distribution and maintain the patient in the proper position troughout the intervention.

Reliable, efficient and not much expensive, the positioners are specially designed tools to prevent the onset of injuries and to relieve and stabilize any injuries already present in the patient undergoing surgery.

The multi-purpose relief positioner, with its extremely versatile format, can be used in a variety of surgical operations and to provide comfort and relief for patients confined to wheelchairs.
