Product Description
The Olympic Vac-Pac is a proven vacuum positioning system used in hospitals worldwide for over 40 years. Designed to conform precisely to the patient’s anatomy, Vac-Pac cushions create a stable, customized support surface that improves positioning accuracy while enhancing patient comfort and safety.
By molding around the patient and forming a rigid support once vacuum is applied, the system helps reduce repositioning time, improve surgical access, and minimize pressure-related injuries.
How the Olympic Vac-Pac Works
- The Vac-Pac is placed on the table and shaped to the desired position
- The patient is positioned and the pad is molded around the body
- A vacuum source is applied, firming the pad in seconds
- The patient remains securely positioned throughout the procedure
Once the vacuum is released, the Vac-Pac returns to a soft, reusable state.
