Better pillow positioning
According to H.E.A.D. Prone, Inc., its Prone Positioning Pillow (P3) is uniquely shaped to support the patient's head while maintaining straight alignment of the neck without putting pressure on the eyes, nose and ears. The P3's patented U-shape design allows right or left side positioning of anesthesia machines, as well as a clear view of the patient's face and easy access to any tubes used during the surgery. The center foam cut-out is included with the unit, so you can also use it as a standard pillow. It is made of high-density soft foam, which maintains its shape during use and minimizes facial skin pressure, according to the company. The pillow comes compression wrapped to save storage space until it is needed.
Adult sized pillows list for $9.50. For more information call H.E.A.D. Prone, Inc. at (866) 541-1776, visit www.headprone.com, or circle 131 on the Reader Service Card.
