Operating table patient pressure distribution monitoring/regulation system

Operating table patient pressure distribution monitoring/regulation systems are designed to prevent pressure injuries during surgery by dynamically adjusting the mattress beneath the patient. These systems use sensors to detect pressure points and an automated control unit to inflate or deflate specific mattress sections, maintaining even weight distribution throughout the procedure.

These devices are typically regulated as medical devices, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as modular systems, combining a pressure-sensing mattress with a control unit, and may require compliance with safety and performance standards for surgical equipment.
