Lateral position gel pads are useful in surgeries in order to minimize the risks associated with patient and patient comfort. These pads are useful in ensuring that the body is well aligned to avoid pressure points, decrease the incidences of pressure ulcers and prevent nerve damage when positioning the patient laterally. Their utilization helps maintain the stability of positioning and thus operations are more precise. Most appropriate when the operation takes a long duration, lateral position gel pads are very useful when it comes to reduction of adverse effects and improvement of patient results.
