ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for positioning, supporting and cushioning a patient during a spinal operation comprising a base pad attachable to a standard operating table and a pair of ridges extending thereabove. The distance between the ridges is adjustable to fit a wide range of patient sizes. The void space between the ridges allows the patient's abdomen and diaphragm to hang freely without compression against the spine thereby eliminating interspinal venous engorgement. The apparatus also properly positions the patient so that the spine is in a flexed state.
