Freestanding patient positioner, single-use

1,192 devices · GMDN 62292

Freestanding patient positioners are single-use cushions, pads, bolsters, or wedges designed to support and stabilize patients during medical procedures. They are placed on flat surfaces like operating tables or stretchers to help position body parts—such as the head, neck, or limbs—while reducing pressure on bony areas, often using materials like memory foam or inflatable designs for adjustable support.

These devices are typically classified as single-use and may vary in regulation depending on jurisdiction, though they generally fall under general medical device rules. They are widely available through medical supply channels, including hospitals, clinics, and online distributors, and are selected based on specific patient positioning needs for procedures like anesthesia or surgery.
