December 15, 2021 – AliMed, Inc. (Dedham, MA) introduced its newest line of gel-based surgical patient positioners, AliBlue Gel Positioners. Designed to offer the same premium pressure relief as other comparable products on the market, the new line offers a more cost-effective price point aimed at helping healthcare facilities decrease overall spend on surgical procedure supplies, the company says.
According to AliMed, the new positioners are engineered with a crisp, clear 100% polyurethane-based viscoelastic gel formula and help relieve pressure to the head and neck, body, and upper and lower extremities during procedures, reducing the risk of costly patient injuries.
Additionally, AliBlue’s reusability allows for easier cleaning and faster operating room turnover time, lowering annuity costs and minimizing facility waste for hospitals and surgery centers.
Stocked inventory includes commonly used positioners such as head donuts, armboard pads, chest rolls, surface overlays, and heel cups for positioning needs from supine to Trendelenburg, in addition to pediatric models specifically sized for smaller patients and other specialty positioners. The full head-to-toe line is available at AliMed.com/aliblue.
As a leader in the positioners and patient safety straps market, AliMed additionally manufactures and distributes a wide range of disposable foam positioners and reusable and disposable surgical straps to support specific operating room protocols or patient safety needs.
