Surgical positioning and OR accessories combine reusable gel capital with single-use foam consumables, making them a steady line item in every operating room and ambulatory surgery center. Because foam positioners and protectors turn per case while gel positioners cycle over longer service lives, consolidating both under one wholesale account controls per-case cost and reusable-asset replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gel and foam surgical positioners?
Gel surgical positioners use a viscoelastic gel such as Akton that spreads load and dissipates heat over long operative cases, and they are reusable and wipe-clean. Foam surgical positioners are molded medical-grade foam, lighter and lower cost, stocked as single-patient or limited-reuse items. Facilities stock both: reusable gel for extended procedures and disposable foam for shorter cases.
What surgical positioning accessories are stocked?
The catalog stocks OR positioning products including gel and foam head positioners and headrests, arm boards and arm cradles, lateral and chest rolls, hip and knee positioners, heel and elbow protectors, table straps and safety belts, and shoulder and vacuum-style supports. Products are stocked for supine, prone, lateral and lithotomy positioning. Availability differs by procedure type and table system.
Which surgical positioning brands does the catalog carry?
The catalog carries recognized OR positioning brands including Action Products (Akton gel), AliMed and comparable surgical positioning lines across gel and foam positioners, arm boards, headrests and table straps. Reusable gel and single-use foam options are stocked. Brand availability differs by positioner type and OR table system.
Can surgery centers order OR positioning accessories in bulk?
