The application of gel position pad in clinical practice

Patients who have undergone anesthesia and surgery often find that some joints and muscles are extremely painful after waking up, and it often takes weeks to months to recover. This is because the anesthesia causes the human body to lose consciousness and be supported in a fixed posture, and some joints and nerves are subjected to long-term compression.



Severe body parts are under pressure for a long time, blood circulation is impaired, and the nutrients required for the skin and subcutaneous tissues cannot be adapted to supply, resulting in partial tissue rot and necrosis, causing pressure sores. Pressure sores not only bring pain to patients but also affect their health.



Gel surgical position pads and surgical position placement and fixation products are made of polymer medical gel. Gel patient positioners are soft high-tech materials that can evenly distribute the patient's weight, reduce the pressure between the body parts and the support surface by increasing the contact area between the two, and are elastic and not completely compressed. These features are necessary to reduce the pressure on the patient's body during surgery.



Gel patient positioners act as a second layer of skin for the human body. They can act as a 'protective layer' at the superficial nerve sites, provide protection for patients undergoing surgery, and effectively prevent the occurrence of pressure sores and nerve damage. Gel surgical position pads can place surgical patients in the most appropriate surgical position, fully expose the surgical field of view, and prevent patients from moving during surgery, making it easier for surgeons to perform surgical operations, shortening the surgical time, and thus reducing the risk of surgery and complications.
