The EG-200 is developed and manufactured by Elbnova, a German medical technology company based in Hamburg. Elbnova builds a structured range of OR positioning solutions, LED surgical headlights, medical loupes, and HF electrosurgical units — designed for the practical demands of operating room environments.

The EG-200 marks a shift within Elbnova’s 14-model gel pad system: from head positioning into full-body surface coverage. Where the head positioning group addresses a specific anatomical area with compact, purpose-shaped pads, the EG-200 operates at a different scale entirely — a full-length body pad that covers the entire surface of the operating table beneath the patient.

CE-Marked Full-Length Gel Body Positioning Pad

The EG-200 is a CE-marked gel positioning body pad intended for operating room and clinical environments. At 183 × 50 cm with a depth of 1.3 cm, it is the larger of two body pad models in the Elbnova range. Its surface is smooth gel — uniformly flat, without texture or relief.

The format is straightforward: a full-length pad placed on the operating table surface, providing a gel interface between the table and the patient across the entire torso and body length. The gel material conforms under load, distributing pressure across a broad surface area rather than concentrating it at bony contact points — the posterior trunk, sacrum, scapulae, and heels in supine positioning, or the anterior chest and iliac crests in prone setups.

The EG-200 functions as one component within a broader patient positioning system. Its use is determined by the clinical team based on the procedure and the positioning protocol in place.

Smooth or Textured — Choosing Between EG-200 and EG-220

Elbnova offers two full-length body pad models. The difference between them is defined by three variables: size, depth, and surface finish.

The EG-200 is longer, wider, and thinner — with a smooth gel surface. The EG-220 is slightly more compact and thicker, with a textured surface that provides a different contact characteristic.

The choice between the two comes down to the surface finish required for the specific positioning setup and the dimensions that best suit the operating table configuration in the department. Both are CE-marked. Both are part of the same Elbnova gel pad system. A single inquiry to Elbnova can cover specifications and pricing for both models.

Where the EG-200 Sits in the Elbnova Range

The EG-200 belongs to the body positioning segment of the Elbnova gel pad system — the part of the range that moves beyond single anatomical regions to full-body surface coverage. Within the broader 14-model system, each product group addresses a distinct positioning requirement:

The head positioning group (EG-100, EG-110, EG-130, EG-140, EG-160) covers ring-format and prone head positioning for adult and paediatric patients.

The body pad group (EG-200, EG-220) covers full-length operating table surface coverage — the foundation layer of the positioning setup.

The remaining models in the system address limb, heel, and specialty positioning — completing the coverage across the full patient anatomy.

For hospitals and surgical centres building a complete OR positioning inventory, the EG-200 and EG-220 represent the body pad tier of that system. Sourcing both from Elbnova alongside the head and limb positioning models means the entire range comes from one CE-marked manufacturer, with consistent documentation and a single supplier relationship.

Who Stocks the EG-200

Hospitals and surgical centres reviewing full-length body positioning pad options — particularly those standardising their body pad equipment across multiple operating tables or evaluating alternatives to their current body pad supplier.

Operating room managers standardising body pad equipment across operating tables — where consistency in pad format, surface type, and supplier documentation matters for inventory management and clinical protocol alignment.

Medical procurement teams comparing smooth and textured gel body pad formats — the EG-200 and EG-220 represent the two options within the Elbnova body pad range. Procurement teams evaluating both can request specifications and pricing for both in a single inquiry.

Distributors building a complete body positioning offering for hospital clients — where presenting a clearly differentiated pair of body pad options, alongside a full head and limb positioning range from the same manufacturer, gives hospital buyers a structured, complete product selection.
