  • Patent number: 5014375
    Abstract: A resilient foam surgical pad is adapted for use with surgery patients supported thereon in a prone position. The patient's abdomen hangs freely in a cavity formed in a torso support block. The reduced pressure on the abdomen lessons the amount of bleeding on the side of the patient opposite the abdomen, particularly during more prolonged surgical procedures. Separate head and leg supporting foam members may be adjusted relative the torso support block to accommodate different patients. A disposable protective covering may be used so that the resilient foam surgical pad may be reused with different patients.
