SurgiLock® Positioning Foam is coated with our patented ElasTak® adhesive polymer technology to provide an aggressive tack for securing patients. It is imperative that patients and/or patients’ limbs don’t move during surgical procedures. Unwanted movement can cause injury and other negative outcomes to the patient and undue stress to the patient and staff.
Our patented Elastak® adhesive polymer is soybean oil based, environmentally friendly, and made in the USA.
