Head Pad

The SmartGuard Head Pad (GELHDP), measuring 11” x 9.5” x 3.5”H, is a patient positioning device used in surgical procedures to protect the head, neck, and airway. They are designed to help minimize pressure injuries, maintain correct alignment, and improve patient safety.

Key advantages include:

• Gel positioners maintain shape under the patient's weight to provide a more consistent support surface and pressure distribution compared to foam positioners.
• No-slip backing
• Radiolucent, latex-free gel maintains imaging clarity and patient safety.
• Can be heated and cooled. See general case and use guide for more details.
• OR-durable reuse: Can be used with AMD's impervious armboard covers for infection control benefits but can be used without. Should be cleaned & disinfected with hospital-approved alcohol-free disinfectants after every use.
