Abstract: Objective To develop an integrated prone position cushion to facilitate the operation and nursing of the patient.Methods The cushion was composed of outer and inner layers with considerations on gender and operative sites.The inner layer was made of plus hard high-density sponge,the outer layer was manufactured with polyurethane (PU),and the two layers were connected by Velcro.Results The cushion behaved well in shock proof and buffering,which could expose the operative field sufficiently and decrease the incidence rate of pressure sore during the operation.Conclusion The cushion gains advantages in simple structure,stability,safety,easy operation and disinfection,and is applicable for prone position surgery.
