OB/GYN Patient Positioning FAQs

What positioning products are used in OB/GYN?

Pelvic positioners are the core product category for OB/GYN. BoneFoam's OB/GYN collection is built around the Pelvic Cradle and its matching single-use barrier covers, a focused positioning solution for applicable OB/GYN exams, procedures, and sacrum-free birth positioning.

What is a pelvic positioner used for?

A pelvic positioner supports the pelvis and creates additional space and visualization for the clinician during applicable OB/GYN exams and procedures. BoneFoam's Pelvic Cradle is also positioned as a sacrum-free birth-positioning option. Check the eIFU for approved applications.

Is the Pelvic Cradle only for childbirth?

No. It's a multi-use pelvic positioner used during applicable OB/GYN exams and procedures in addition to sacrum-free birth positioning.

Are single-use covers available for the Pelvic Cradle?

Yes. BoneFoam offers single-use barrier covers sized to fit the Pelvic Cradle to support patient comfort and turnover between uses.

How is a pelvic positioner different from rolled towels or improvised supports?

A pelvic positioner is a purpose-built device with a defined shape, sizing, and product-specific instructions, not the use of uncomfortable bedpans, patient's fist or a stack of towels. That means more consistent access, visualization, and setup from case to case.

How do I choose a pelvic positioner for our OB/GYN workflow?

Start with whether your team needs more access and visualization during applicable OB/GYN exams or procedures, a purpose-built pelvic support, or a sacrum-free birth-positioning option. Then review the eIFU, cleaning requirements, and barrier-cover options against your protocols.
