Prone Positioning System

Prone Positioning System for Surgical Patients

As surgical techniques evolve, the prone position is being used more frequently to facilitate surgical access. Prone positioning for surgical patients creates challenges for patient safety and surgical efficiency. Ideal surgical access is crucial for surgical success and optimal patient outcomes.

Prone Positioning Risks

Current positioning methods that utilize towels, rolls, and tape do not address specific prone positioning needs in a way that optimize patient safety and clinical efficiency.

With prone positioning care must be taken to avoid risks to the patient that include reduced cardiac index; increased inferior vena caval pressures; changes in lung capacity and volumes; diaphragmatic splinting; spine alignment; peripheral nerve injuries; pressure injuries to skin, nerves, breast, and genitalia; and limited access to lines and tubes.

A Practical Solution for Prone Positioning

The BoneFoam Universal Prone Positioning System is designed to address the critical need for abdominal decompression while also accommodating urinary catheters and IV lines.

By providing a foundation that reduces pressure on the abdomen, this solution can reduce the risk of elevated intra-abdominal pressure that could lead to compression of the inferior vena cava, reduced venous return to the heart, and consequential low cardiac output. It provides stable operating conditions with improved pelvic, spinal, and neck alignment.  

Optimal Positioning and Patient Safety

  • The BoneFoam Universal Prone Positioning System was designed with physicians to provide a standardized approach for safe and secure prone patient positioning - every time.  
  • Two-piece design accommodates table breaks enabling intraoperative adjustments to hip flexion and lower lumbar curvature.
  • Wide chest cavity comfortably positions the breasts, genitalia, and arms.
