Olympic Vac-Pac Positioning System
A safer, more effective surgical patient positioning system designed for operating rooms, imaging procedures, and specialty surgeries.
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.
Key Features & Benefits
Custom Conforming Support
Molds precisely to each patient’s body, ensuring stable and secure positioning during procedures.
Fast Positioning & Time Savings
Becomes rigid in approximately 15 seconds, reducing setup time and improving OR efficiency.
Improved Surgical Access
Provides optimal exposure of the surgical site while maintaining patient stability.
Pressure Point Reduction
Evenly distributes patient weight to help prevent pressure injuries and improve comfort.
Repositionable During Procedures
Allows adjustments without fully resetting the system, increasing flexibility during surgery.
Radiolucent & Imaging Compatible
Minimal imaging interference, making it ideal for X-ray, fluoroscopy, and other imaging-guided procedures.
Reusable & Easy to Clean
Durable PVC construction can be cleaned with standard disinfectants for long-term use.
Latex-Free Materials
Safe for patients and compliant with hospital safety standards.
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.
