AliMed Patient Positioners

AliMed Patient Positioners are surgical, procedural, and imaging positioning solutions designed to help support alignment, access, and pressure management across a wide range of patient anatomies and case types. Browse by product family—gel, hybrid gel/foam, coated foam, vinyl-covered foam, single-use—or shop by position (supine, prone, lateral, Trendelenburg) to match supports to your actual set-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are AliMed Patient Positioners, and how do I choose the right type?

AliMed Patient Positioners are surgical, procedural, and imaging positioning solutions designed to help support alignment, access, and pressure management across a wide range of patient anatomies and case types. A simple way to choose is to start with procedure demands (high-precision vs. routine), time on the table, and re-use/infection-control needs. On this hub you can browse by product family (gel, hybrid gel/foam, coated foam, vinyl-covered foam, single-use) and also "shop by position" (supine, prone, lateral, Trendelenburg, etc.).

What's the difference between AliBlue Gel and AliBlue Lite Hybrid Gel?

AliBlue Gel is an all-gel positioning option built for steady, predictable support—a strong fit when teams want premium gel performance for longer or more precision-dependent procedures. AliBlue Lite Hybrid Gel is a lighter-weight hybrid designed to make handling and repositioning easier while still providing shape-conforming comfort. If your primary driver is "maximum gel feel and predictability," start with AliBlue Gel. If your team's driver is "reduce lifting/handling burden while still getting a premium surface," start with AliBlue Lite.

Which positioners are best for longer, high-precision cases (robotic, cardiovascular, complex positioning)?

For longer or more demanding cases where teams want confident stability, consistent contouring, and premium pressure-management properties, start with AliBlue Gel and AliBlue Lite Hybrid Gel. Many facilities standardize these options for complex set-ups because they're designed to keep positioning reliable when the procedure (and the risk of pressure/shear) increases.

Which options are best for quick-turnover, high-throughput, infection-control focused environments?

If you're optimizing for speed between cases and minimizing reprocessing demands, single-use foam positioners are often the most straightforward option. For teams that prefer reusable products but still want easier wipe-down and durability, coated foam families can be a strong fit. Use the reusable & disposable guidance to align your choice to your facility protocols.

What are common pressure points in Supine positioning, and what should I protect?

In supine, common pressure concerns include areas like the occiput, scapulae, sacrum/coccyx, elbows, and heels—plus any bony prominences at risk based on the patient and time on the table. The positioning goal is to distribute pressure, protect vulnerable points, and maintain neutral alignment while keeping access to the surgical site. The Supine Position guide calls out pressure areas and shows examples of supports commonly used for supine cases.

What should I prioritize for Prone positioning (airway/face, chest, knees, feet, nerve protection)?

In prone positioning, priorities often include protecting the face/head, managing chest/torso support, reducing focal pressure at the knees and feet, and maintaining alignment to help reduce shear and nerve pressure. Start with the Prone Position guide for a structured checklist of positioning considerations, then choose supports based on your set-up and the duration/complexity of the case. See also: Prone Position Guidelines.

Which products help reduce foot drop risk or protect lower extremities during prone/supine set-ups?

For lower-extremity positioning needs, look for supports designed to stabilize the foot/ankle and reduce unwanted positioning stress—especially during longer cases. A good example is the AliBlue Gel Dome Patient Positioner, which is used for scenarios like preventing foot drop in prone and protecting pressure points in other set-ups.

Do you offer complete positioning sets to speed up OR set-up and consistency?

Yes, positioning sets help standardize room set-up, reduce "hunt and gather," and support consistent placement across staff and shifts. Depending on the body position and workflow, sets can bundle the most commonly paired supports. AliBlue Gel has sets (including the Prone Positioning Set) that can be a good starting point when you want to streamline.

What solutions do you have for Trendelenburg procedures and stability?

Trendelenburg positioning adds unique stability demands—teams want secure positioning, pressure redistribution, and practical access for anesthesia/lines. For Trendelenburg-specific needs, the Trendelenburg Position guide provides a best-practice foundation, and the SecureFit® TPS Trendelenburg Positioning System is built specifically around that set-up. See also: Trendelenburg Position Guidelines.

Are there radiolucent or imaging-friendly positioning options?

Yes, AliMed offers imaging-positioning solutions designed to support set-up while considering imaging needs. If radiolucency/low-artifact is a top requirement, start with the coated foam family pages where imaging-friendly options are called out as part of the overall solution set.

Can I repair minor nicks or punctures to extend the life of gel positioners?

For small cuts or punctures, a repair solution can help extend usable life and reduce unnecessary replacement when damage is minor. The AliMed Gel Repair Kit uses clear patches that can be cut to size for quick, practical repairs on gel products. (Always follow your facility's inspection and reuse policies.)

Where can I find education and best practices to help staff choose the right positioner?

AliMed's educational content supports both quick guidance and deeper training. The Patient Positioning Guide breaks down key body positions (supine, prone, Trendelenburg, and more), and the Patient Positioning blog provides ongoing best-practice articles (including pressure injury prevention and position-specific guidelines).
