Operating table positioning system SLS

The SLS is an all-in-one system that allows you to prepare a patient for surgery in one swift set up, which saves time and reduces costs. The SLS is primarily used for patient positioning in the lateral position, and allows the surgeon clear access to the operating area. Pressure Relief The combination of vacuum and padded straps which the SLS is comprised of, aids in the reduction of positioning-related injuries to the patient’s body. These injuries are usually caused when certain points of the patient’s body are exposed to prolonged pressure. The SLS mainly helps prevent these pressure points in the knee, foot, and pelvic areas.
