Surgical Head and Neck Positioners

The head and neck are among the most critical areas to support and protect in the O.R.

From supine to prone to lateral, Action® gel pads for surgical positioning conform to the patient’s unique anatomy, supporting pressure injury prevention while giving surgical teams the stability and access they need.

  • Ophthalmic Cradle Headrests: A supine head positioner with unique contours that offers broad neck support while positioning the head in an oval center dish to reduce pressure and improve stability.
