Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for positioning a patient on a surgical platform. The apparatus includes an elongated flexible web and a plurality of extension straps for connecting the apparatus to the surgical platform. Each extension strap includes a connector configured for connecting the apparatus to the platform. Adjustment mechanisms allow the extension straps to be adjusted to vary the tension in the web. The medical professional selects the desired position and orientation of the patient on the surgical platform and manipulates the patient into the desired position and orientation. A retention device is connected to a surgical platform and placed over the patient at the appropriate portion of the patient. A second end of the retention device is connected to a second side of the surgical platform. The retention device is then adjusted to increase the tension in the retention device.
