Product Title

Adjustable Abdominal Support Frame, Abdominal Support Pad & Head Frame Adapter for Operating Table | Single-Knob Width Adjustment | High-Density Sponge with PU Leather | Universal Side-Rail Compatibility for Prone-Position Surgery and Neurosurgery Head Frame Integration

Product Overview

This focused range of adjustable abdominal support frames, abdominal support pads, and head frame adapters addresses two essential but distinct needs in the operating room: prone-position patient support and cross-brand head frame compatibility. The abdominal support family — comprising the adjustable-width support frame and the high-density sponge support pad — provides the critical abdominal decompression platform that allows the patient's abdomen to hang freely during prone-position surgery, reducing intra-abdominal pressure, minimizing epidural venous engorgement, and decreasing intraoperative blood loss during spinal, anorectal, and posterior knee procedures. The head frame adapter family bridges the compatibility gap between head frames and operating tables from different manufacturers, enabling facilities to use their existing neurosurgery head frames and cervical traction frames on any standard operating table without custom fabrication or proprietary adapters.

All abdominal support components are constructed with high-density sponge cushioning wrapped in PU leather for easy disinfection and durable patient contact, while the support frame itself features a single-knob width adjustment mechanism that allows the surgical team to set the exact abdominal opening width in seconds — accommodating patients of all body sizes from slender adults to bariatric patients. The head frame adapter family covers inserting rod diameters of 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm, and 24 mm — the four most common rod sizes used by neurosurgery head frame and cervical traction frame manufacturers worldwide — as well as fully adjustable models with selectable middle-hole diameters from 13–20 mm and adjustable hole and side-rail plug-in spacing, providing a complete cross-brand compatibility solution for any mixed-equipment operating room.

Key Features & Clinical Advantages

• Single-knob width adjustment (abdominal support frame) — The abdominal support frame adjusts from a narrow to a wide configuration using a single knob, allowing the surgical team to set the exact abdominal opening width to match the patient's body dimensions in seconds — without tools, without removing the frame from the table, and without interrupting the positioning workflow.

• Universal operating table compatibility — Both the abdominal support frame and the head frame adapters fit any standard operating table side rail, eliminating the need for brand-specific adapters and enabling seamless integration across multi-brand hospital environments.

• High-density sponge with PU leather (abdominal support pad) — The abdominal support pad is constructed from high-density sponge wrapped in PU leather, providing firm, pressure-distributing support for the patient's chest, pelvis, and lower extremities while the abdomen hangs freely between the support surfaces. The PU leather cover is easy to wipe clean and disinfect between cases, and the high-density sponge resists bottoming out under the patient's weight during prolonged procedures.

• Four standard rod diameter adapters — The head frame adapter family covers inserting rod diameters of 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm, and 24 mm, matching the most common rod sizes used by neurosurgery head frame and cervical traction frame manufacturers — ensuring that virtually any existing head frame can be mounted on any operating table.

• Fully adjustable adapter models — The adjustable head frame adapters feature hole spacing adjustment, side-rail plug-in spacing adjustment, and selectable middle-hole diameters from 13–20 mm, providing a single-SKU solution for facilities that need to accommodate multiple head frame brands with varying rod sizes and spacing requirements.

• Abdominal decompression for reduced blood loss — By allowing the abdomen to hang freely during prone-position surgery, the abdominal support system reduces intra-abdominal pressure, decreases epidural venous engorgement, and minimizes intraoperative blood loss — a well-documented clinical benefit that improves surgical visibility and reduces transfusion requirements during spinal surgery.

• Easy disassembly for disinfection — All components disassemble quickly and completely, enabling thorough cleaning and sterilization of every surface between cases — essential for infection-control compliance in prone-position surgery where the support surfaces contact large areas of the patient's body.

Model Variants & Specifications

Abdominal Support Frame

FP-023-A1 — Abdominal Support Frame (Adjustable Width, Single-Knob Adjustment)
An adjustable-width abdominal support frame designed for straight anorectal surgery, prone-position surgery, and other kneeling procedures where the patient's abdomen must be decompressed to reduce intra-abdominal pressure and epidural venous engorgement. The frame mounts to the operating table side rail and features a single-knob adjustment mechanism that controls the width of the abdominal opening — turning the knob widens or narrows the frame to match the patient's body dimensions, creating a gap beneath the abdomen that allows it to hang freely without compression. This single-knob design is a significant ergonomic advantage over multi-bolt adjustment systems, allowing the surgical team to make precise width adjustments in seconds without searching for multiple adjustment points or using tools. The frame's universal side-rail mounting ensures compatibility with any operating table brand, and the adjustable width range accommodates patients from slender adults to bariatric patients. The frame is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials that withstand repeated disinfection and autoclave sterilization, and the easy-disassembly design allows complete access to all surfaces for thorough cleaning between cases. This model is essential for posterior spinal fusion, lumbar laminectomy, thoracic spine surgery, anorectal procedures, and any prone-position operation where abdominal decompression directly impacts surgical outcomes.

Abdominal Support Pad

FP-023-A2 — Abdominal Support Pad (High-Density Sponge, PU Leather)
A cushioned abdominal support pad constructed from high-density sponge wrapped in PU leather, designed to be paired with the kneeling board to provide comfortable, pressure-distributing support for the patient's chest, pelvis, and lower extremities during prone-position surgery. The pad is positioned on either side of the abdominal opening created by the FP-023-A1 frame, providing firm support surfaces that bear the patient's weight while the abdomen hangs freely in the gap between them. The high-density sponge resists compression set and bottoming out during prolonged procedures — maintaining consistent support height and pressure distribution throughout surgeries lasting many hours. The PU leather cover provides a smooth, non-porous surface that can be wiped clean and disinfected rapidly between cases, resisting absorption of bodily fluids and withstanding repeated exposure to hospital-grade disinfectants without cracking, peeling, or degradation. The pad is designed to interface seamlessly with the kneeling board, creating a continuous, stable support surface from the chest to the lower legs that maintains the patient in a secure, comfortable prone position while protecting pressure-sensitive anatomical regions — including the breasts, iliac crests, knees, and shins — from focal compression injury.

Head Frame Adapters — Fixed Rod Diameter

FP-025-A1 / FP-025-A2 / FP-025-A3 / FP-025-A4 — Head Frame Adapter (13 mm / 15 mm / 17 mm / 24 mm)
A family of four fixed-diameter head frame adapters, each designed to match a specific inserting rod diameter used by the most common neurosurgery head frame and cervical traction frame brands:

FP-025-A1 features a 13 mm inserting rod hole, matching head frames and traction frames that use 13 mm mounting rods — a common size among lightweight aluminum alloy head frames and pediatric cranial fixation systems.

FP-025-A2 features a 15 mm inserting rod hole, matching head frames that use 15 mm mounting rods — a size commonly found in mid-range neurosurgery head frames and certain cervical traction systems.

FP-025-A3 features a 17 mm inserting rod hole, matching head frames that use 17 mm mounting rods — one of the most widely used rod sizes across the neurosurgery head frame industry, compatible with a broad range of cranial fixation and positioning systems.

FP-025-A4 features a 24 mm inserting rod hole, matching head frames that use 24 mm mounting rods — a larger diameter used by heavy-duty cranial fixation systems, three-pin head frames, and certain cervical traction frames that require the enhanced rigidity of a larger-diameter mounting rod.

Each adapter in this family mounts to the operating table side rail via a universal plug-in or clamp interface, providing a precise, rattle-free connection between the head frame's mounting rod and the operating table. The snug-fit bore prevents rotational play and lateral shift, ensuring that the head frame remains absolutely stable during microsurgical procedures where even sub-millimeter movement could compromise surgical precision. These adapters are the simplest, most cost-effective solution for facilities that use a single head frame brand with a known, fixed rod diameter.

Head Frame Adapters — Fully Adjustable

FP-025-B1 — Adjustable Head Frame Adapter (Adjustable Hole Spacing, Adjustable Side-Rail Spacing, 13–20 mm Middle Hole)
A fully adjustable head frame adapter featuring hole spacing adjustment, side-rail plug-in spacing adjustment, and a selectable middle-hole diameter from 13–20 mm. This adapter is designed for facilities that use multiple head frame brands with varying rod diameters and spacing requirements, or for facilities that need a single adapter SKU to cover an unknown or evolving head frame inventory. The adjustable hole spacing allows the adapter to accommodate head frames with different distances between mounting rods, while the adjustable side-rail plug-in spacing ensures a secure fit on operating tables with different rail widths. The selectable middle-hole diameter range of 13–20 mm covers the full spectrum of rod sizes used by neurosurgery head frames and cervical traction frames — from the 13 mm lightweight aluminum alloy frames to the 19–20 mm heavy-duty stainless steel and carbon fiber frames — within a single, versatile adapter unit. This model eliminates the need to stock multiple fixed-diameter adapters, simplifying inventory management and ensuring that the facility always has the correct adapter available regardless of which head frame is being used.

FP-025-C1 — Adjustable Head Frame Adapter (Adjustable Spacing, 13–20 mm Middle-Hole Selection)
A second fully adjustable head frame adapter variant with the same adjustable hole spacing, adjustable side-rail plug-in spacing, and 13–20 mm middle-hole selection as the FP-025-B1, offered as an alternative configuration to match different operating table rail geometries or head frame mounting patterns. The FP-025-C1 provides the same universal compatibility and multi-brand flexibility as the FP-025-B1, with a different clamp plate or mounting interface geometry to ensure coverage of the full range of operating table side-rail profiles found across major manufacturers. Together, the FP-025-B1 and FP-025-C1 provide complete adjustable adapter coverage for any head frame and any operating table combination.
