Textured Gel Positioning Body Pad — EG-220
- Shipping From
The EG-220 is developed and manufactured by Elbnova, a German medical technology company based in Hamburg. Elbnova produces a structured range of OR positioning solutions, LED surgical headlights, medical loupes, and HF electrosurgical units — built for the practical demands of operating room environments.
The EG-220 is the textured-surface body pad in Elbnova’s gel positioning system — the alternative to the smooth EG-200. Together they form the body pad tier of a 14-model gel pad range that covers head, body, limb, heel, and specialty positioning for adult and paediatric patients.
CE-Marked Textured Gel Body Positioning Pad
The EG-220 is a CE-marked gel positioning body pad with a textured surface, intended for operating room and clinical positioning environments. At 160 × 45 cm and 1.6 cm in depth, it is slightly more compact and slightly deeper than the smooth EG-200.
The textured surface is the defining characteristic of this model. Where the EG-200 presents a uniformly flat, smooth gel face, the EG-220 introduces surface relief — a textured finish that gives the pad a different contact quality under load. The choice between the two is determined by the clinical team based on departmental protocol and the specific positioning setup in use.
The EG-220 functions as one component within a broader patient positioning system. Like all Elbnova gel pads, it is placed between the operating table surface and the patient, distributing pressure across a broad area rather than concentrating it at bony contact points. The textured surface does not alter this fundamental function — it is a surface characteristic, not a structural one.
Smooth or Textured — Choosing Between EG-200 and EG-220
Elbnova offers two body pad models. The comparison is straightforward:
| Model | Dimensions | Depth | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| EG-200 | 183 × 50 cm | 1.3 cm | Smooth |
| EG-220 | 160 × 45 cm | 1.6 cm | Textured |
The EG-200 is longer, wider, and thinner with a smooth surface. The EG-220 is more compact and thicker, with a textured surface. Both are CE-marked. Both are part of the same Elbnova gel pad system. The selection decision rests on surface preference and the table configuration used in the department.
For departments that want to evaluate both before committing, a single inquiry to Elbnova can cover specifications, packaging details, and pricing for both models simultaneously. The full Elbnova body pad range — and the complete 14-model system — is available at elbnova.com/products.
Where the EG-220 Sits in the Elbnova Range
The EG-220 belongs to the body positioning segment of Elbnova’s gel pad system. Within the 14-model structure, the range is organised into clearly defined product groups:
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 — closed ring, open ring, and dedicated prone pad formats.
The body pad group (EG-200, EG-220) covers full-length operating table surface coverage. The EG-200 for smooth-surface setups; the EG-220 for textured-surface setups.
The remaining models address limb, heel, and specialty positioning — completing the coverage across the full patient anatomy.
Hospitals and distributors sourcing the complete body pad pair alongside the head and limb positioning models can build a comprehensive OR positioning inventory from a single CE-marked manufacturer. No gaps in coverage, no multiple supplier relationships to manage.
Who Stocks the EG-220
Hospitals and surgical centres reviewing body positioning pad options by surface type — particularly those that have a preference for textured gel surfaces in their positioning protocols, or those evaluating both smooth and textured options before standardising across departments.
Operating room managers standardising body pad equipment — where the surface type of the body pad is a specified variable in the department’s positioning protocol, and a textured option is required alongside or instead of a smooth one.
Medical procurement teams comparing textured and smooth gel body pad formats — the EG-220 and EG-200 together represent the complete body pad offering within the Elbnova system. Procurement teams can request specifications and pricing for both in a single inquiry.
Distributors presenting a differentiated body positioning pad offering to hospital buyers — where having both a smooth and a textured option from the same CE-marked manufacturer makes the product selection clear and complete for hospital procurement teams.
