Snow Pac

Snow-Pacs are soft pads (available in various sizes and shapes) that are filled with thousands of tiny plastic beads. The Snow-Pac is molded around the patient and then a suction line is attached to it.

As a vacuum is created inside the Snow-Pac for 15 Seconds, outside atmospheric pressure forces the beads together so they cannot move.

When the suction line is disconnected, the Snow-Pac retains its firm, molded shape and holds the patient securely in position.After surgery, the valve is opened and as air reenters into the Snow-Pac it becomes soft again, ready for reuse.

Effect

• Stable

  Because Snow-Pacs are molded well , firmly and securely to shape of the patient's body than sandbags, towel rolls and other devices that are merely propped against the patient.

• Comfortable

  The apparent wrinkles are inverted-drawn inward by suction and will not irritate the skin.

• Better Presentation

  With Snow-Pacs the patiant can be positioned exactly as the surgeon desires for excellent presentation of the operative site. Snow-Pacs conform to any shape, so the patient's position does not have to be compromised.

• More Versatile

  With Snow-Pacs patient can often be placed in positions that could not be easily achieved using other positioning devices.

• No Pressure Points

  A Snow-Pac supports all parts of the patient's body uniformly, like a floating mattress.
  Weight is distributed evenly, instead of being supported only by the bony prominences,which cause pressure point injuries.

• Save Time

  Patients can be positioned much more quickly and easily using Snow-Pacs, and if necessary,be repositioned during a case.
