A stabilizing post on an operating room table can cause harmful pressure when pressing against a patient’s body during surgery. The Delgado Inflatable Post slides over the stabilizer to provide an adjustable “pillow” between the post and the patient. When positioned and inflated, it maximizes the stability of the patient and distributes the pressure of the post, alleviating patient discomfort. It lessens the chance of post-surgical complications because it minimizes the likelihood of tissue or nerve damage. The air pressure in the Delgado Post can be adjusted during a procedure to relieve pressure points without having to manually manipulate the patient. This patented device is ideal for surgical procedures where stabilizing posts are used, such as knee, breast, and vascular/neck/thyroid surgeries. The device is made in the USA by NEXT Medical Products Company, a certified minority, woman-owned small business.
