Positioners of all Shapes & Sizes
One of the most critical aspects of any surgical procedure, the proper positioning of the patient can have significant impacts on surgery results. Even seemingly minor shifts in positioning can have potentially detrimental effects, including breathing difficulties, cardiac problems, spikes or dips in blood pressure, muscle strain, nerve damage, and excess bleeding. To help create the most favorable operating conditions for the surgeon, medical assistants often use patient positioning aids to provide easier access to the area being operated on.
