Flat Bottom Chest Roll – Medium

Flat Bottom Chest Rolls

A flat bottom chest roll is a medical device used to provide support and stability during various procedures, particularly in the prone position. It is designed to prevent the patient’s chest from collapsing and to protect against pressure injuries. These rolls are commonly used in operating rooms and other medical settings to ensure proper patient positioning.

Flat bottom chest rolls come in various sizes to accommodate both adult and pediatric patients. For example, adult options include sizes such as 12″ x 4″ x 4″, 16″ x 4″ x 4″, 20″ x 4″ x 4″, and 6″ x 2.5″ x 2″. Pediatric versions are also available, with sizes like 4″ x 3″ x 3″, 6″ x 3″ x 3″, 8″ x 3″ x 3″, 10″ x 3″ x 3″, and 12″ x 3″ x 3″.

These chest rolls are typically made from medical-grade polymer gel or silicone gel, ensuring they are reusable, radiolucent, and latex-free. They are also designed to be non-roll, providing stability and preventing the patient from shifting during procedures. Some models, like the Elite Flat Bottom Chest Roll, are made with a lightweight gel and foam combination for easy handling by medical staff.

In addition to their primary use in the prone position, flat bottom chest rolls can be used in other positions, such as supine, to support the knees or keep the patient in a lateral position. They are also MRI safe and radiolucent, making them suitable for use in various medical environments
