Positioning solution: gel positioning pads and gel positioners

For safer, more stable support

Patient positioning is often invisible when everything goes well - and painfully visible when it doesn’t. Without stable support, pressure concentrates at sensitive points and the field can shift. Elbnova’s positioning solution is built around gel positioning pads and gel positioners that act as reliable Gel Positioning Aids in the operating room and procedure room.

Why gel positioning pads instead of simple foam?

Standard foam supports are cheap and familiar, but they have limits. They can compress too much, lose shape over time and create high local pressure at sensitive points. A medical gel positioning pad behaves differently.

Elbnova develops gel positioning pads specifically for clinical use, with materials and shapes chosen for patient comfort and staff practicality.

What Elbnova gel positioners are designed to do

Our gel positioners are not generic cushions. As a medical devices manufacturer, we design each shape for a clear purpose. These products function as true Gel Positioning Aid devices: they help the team create a stable, reproducible setup and spread load across the contact area. For the clinician, that means a field that stays where it was planned. For the patient, it means steady, even support during the procedure.

Reusability and handling in daily routines

In real life, no one has time for fragile, high-maintenance supports. That is why each Elbnova gel pad is intended for repeated use, with cleaning and disinfection procedures that fit standard hospital routines. As a responsible manufacturer and supplier, we attach as much importance to reprocessing and durability as to cushioning performance.

Where gel positioning pads are used

Elbnova gel positioning pads are suitable for a range of environments:

• Operating rooms (general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, etc.)
• Day surgery centres and ambulatory settings
• Imaging and diagnostic departments
• Dental and maxillofacial procedures where additional support is needed

Positioning from a focused medical devices manufacturer in Hamburg

Elbnova approaches positioning with the same attitude as our other products: limited portfolio, clear focus, considered design. We prefer to offer a compact, well-thought-out range of gel positioning pads, gel positioners and related medical devices that clinicians can trust in everyday routines.
