Targeting Prolonged Surgery
Surgical positioning, especially during prolonged surgery, is an important task preventing any pressure or illicit physiological response.
Prone positions post anesthesia for longer durations is linked with pressure applied and its applied time (it is advisable to provide intermediate release of pressure); body physiology and age compatibility along with damage incurred by pressure, shear and frictional impact also make patient vulnerable. It cause multiple pressure sores at various sites.
Proper patient positioning on the operating table padded with organogel padding is essential to allow optimal surgical exposure and to prevent neuromuscular injuries. Dependent portions are at risk for compression injury on body parts i.e. eyes/ ears; penis/ scortum; breasts; fingers and; pendulous injury (OT table related injury).
As compared to rubber, latex, foam, silicone and any other product line, C| Gel offers complete elastomerism along with cushioning and comfort such that no pressure is induced on any aligned or relieved body parts supported during such
positions.
Era: OrganicC3| GelTechnology
The Era: Organic C3| Gel Technology works on the principle of pressure redistribution however, every technology creates its own pressure as its nature of counter reaction to any surface based on Newton's third law. However, if the cushioning is supreme the pressure will immerse into the surface like memory foam and will be release slowly back when the limb is removed. In such cases, due to lack of elastomeric distribution it might not be effective for positioning devices. On the other hand, only elastomerism will equalize the pressure without cushioning might cause damage to other nearby sites as observed in latex based material. An optimum of both such cushioning and elastomerism is essential for right pressure distribution with comfort to the
site under stress
