PLAINVILLE, Conn.,USA -- Innovative Medical Products (www.impmedical.com), an industry leader in patient positioning devices for orthopedic surgical procedures, has announced the LapWrap™ Positioning Pad (www.innovativemedical.com/products/lap.htm), especially designed to secure patients’ arms during laparoscopic and head/neck orthopedic surgery. The easy-to-use, soft-foam pad not only positions patients’ arms by their sides during surgery but also organizes IV tubes and leads for anesthesia. In fact, the LapWrap™ Positioning Pad was initially designed by an anesthesiologist for the anesthesia provider.

As one spine surgeon, who recently tried the LapWrap™ pad, remarked, “The LapWrap works great for my cervical spine cases. It used to be a hassle tucking arms and this product makes it simple. I am not concerned about nerve palsy problems with the soft foam padding protecting the arms. I’ve asked to have it used on all of my cervical spine cases.”

The latex-free positioning pad is manufactured for single use and is universally sized to accommodate any patient. In addition, the innovative device protects the neurological structures of the elbow and acts as a warming blanket for the patient. Used with hook and loop fasteners, the LapWrap™ is simply configured for quick, easy securing of a patient’s arms and can be trimmed with scissors for better viewing of wire leads, tubing or connections.
