Special Notes

The positioning of pads and patients in the catalogue is only for reference.

In the event of any discrepancy between the catalogue and the actual product, the actual product prevails.

The viscoelastic polymer gel pads can well distribute weight and pressure, and help to prevent pressure ulcer and bedsores. But the pads are not the sole strategy for the prevention of pressure ulcer and bedsores.

“…In the process of surgery, the positioning of patients depends on among other factors, the practical requirements of surgery (e.g. operation length), the physical conditions of patient, the particular body parts of patient under pressure.

Proper positioning pads should be used.

Nursing sta should carefully monitor the blood circulation of patients during surgery.

For prolonged surgery, if possible, relax and massage the areas under pressure to prevent from pressure ulcer…”
