In order to support safe beach chair positioning, Samarit Medical has not only included the Beach Chair device in its sales range but also the Beach Chair “non-slip cushion”. The cushion was developed together with a specialist and successfully tested in practice. Experience in the test hospitals proves that the combination of the beach chair device and the non-slip cushion has proved itself, primarily for safely positioning smaller patients. Patients are positioned about 12 - 15 cm higher and are more stable with the cushion. The cushion even prevents larger patients slipping downwards. The combination of the beach chair device and the non-slip cushion prevents patients slipping out of the head rest. The beach chair device system makes the work of the staff responsible for positioning easier and reduces the time required for this as it is always done in accordance with the same procedure. The surgeon can rely on this structured positioning of the patient. If the arm is pulled sideways the patient slides on the beach chair device back into the previous position, i.e. no extension on the cervical column. When the patient is lying down the cushion is placed near the pelvis, under the thigh. Because the cushion has a special shape the patient is moved into the sitting position on the cushion when the back is straightened and thus adapts to the movements of the operating table. The patient is prevented from slipping by the pelvis stop (at the top of the cushion) and the chock at the bottom of the cushion. The thighs are supported up to the middle in the sitting position leaving the knee and thus the poplitea free.
