Operating table patient pressure distribution pads are reusable cushions designed to reduce pressure on a patient’s body during surgery. Placed between the operating table and the patient, these pads help prevent pressure sores and tissue damage by spreading weight across a larger surface, particularly over high-risk areas like the buttocks, shoulders, or heels.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as reusable hospital assets, requiring maintenance and sterilization protocols to ensure safety and hygiene for repeated use in surgical settings.
