Operating table torso positioner

Operating table torso positioners are reusable devices designed to secure and support a patient’s torso during surgery. They help maintain proper positioning—such as prone, lateral, or Trendelenburg—while reducing pressure on bony areas like the shoulders, hips, or pelvis, which minimizes risks like pressure injuries or nerve compression.

These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment and may require compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are often supplied as standalone attachments for operating tables, sometimes including straps or adaptors for secure mounting, and are used across surgical specialties, particularly in orthopedics and trauma care.
