Patient Protection

Purpose-built positioners like the Guardian line are designed to support vulnerable anatomy during surgery and help clinicians reduce the risk of pressure injuries, nerve compression, soft-tissue injury, and skin shearing tied to positioning. No positioner eliminates risk on its own, so always pair it with assessment, monitoring, padding, and facility protocols.

Patient protection products are positioners and pads designed to support vulnerable anatomy during surgery and help reduce the risk of pressure injuries, nerve compression, soft-tissue injury, and skin shearing tied to positioning. BoneFoam offers this category through its Guardian line.

Face Guard, Arm Guard, Head Guard, Leg Guard, and Shin Guard.

The lower extremities are typically supported by dedicated positioners that cradle the legs and align the pelvis and hips, plus separate supports for the shins and feet in prone cases. BoneFoam's Leg Guard cradles and stabilizes the lower extremities and helps with pelvic and hip alignment. Its Shin Guard supports the lower legs and feet in prone positioning and is designed to meet AORN prone positioning guidelines.

AORN prone positioning guidelines call for the knees to comfortably flex and the feet to maintain a neutral position. BoneFoam's Shin Guard is designed to meet those guidelines. Confirm approved use in the current product IFU.

In most cases, yes. Guardian products are used across BoneFoam's specialty collections and are designed to work with a variety of primary positioners. Compatibility depends on the patient position and table setup, so confirm the pairing in the eIFU and your facility protocols.
