The EG-600 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 demands of surgical and clinical environments.

The EG-600 is the heel-specific model in Elbnova’s 14-model gel positioning pad system — the most compact of the three-dimensional pads in the range, precisely dimensioned for a single anatomical area.

CE-Marked Gel Heel Positioning Pad

The EG-600 is a CE-marked gel positioning heel pad intended for operating room and clinical positioning environments. At 20 × 11 cm and 7 cm in height, it is the smallest three-dimensional gel pad in the Elbnova range — a compact, focused structure for a specific and clinically relevant contact zone.

The heel is a high-contact area during extended supine positioning. The bony prominence of the calcaneus bears load directly, with limited surrounding soft tissue to distribute pressure. The EG-600 provides a gel interface at this contact point, conforming under load to the heel contour and distributing pressure across a broader surface area.

The EG-600 functions as one component within a broader patient positioning setup, under the direction of qualified clinical personnel. Its placement and use are determined by the clinical team based on the procedure and positioning protocol in place.

Three-Dimensional Pads — Compact to Substantial

The EG-600 completes the three-dimensional pad group in the Elbnova range alongside the EG-400 and EG-500:

From the largest — the broad lateral pad — to the most compact — the heel pad — all three share the same gel material and CE-marked system. Each is shaped for its own body area. Together they cover the three-dimensional positioning requirements of a surgical caseload that the flat pads and head rings cannot address. The complete range is at elbnova.com/products.

Who Stocks the EG-600

Hospitals and surgical centres reviewing heel positioning options for the OR — where a CE-marked, purpose-built heel pad is needed for supine procedures involving extended operating times.

Operating room managers specifying body-area-specific gel pads — where the positioning inventory needs to extend beyond body surface coverage and head rings into targeted anatomical support at the heel, shoulder, and lateral regions.

Medical procurement teams comparing gel pads by body area — the EG-600 is the heel model in the Elbnova three-dimensional group, specifiable alongside EG-400 and EG-500 in a single procurement process.

Distributors completing a gel positioning pad range that includes heel-specific coverage — where a heel pad alongside lateral, shoulder, body, and head positioning models from one CE-marked manufacturer gives hospital buyers a genuinely complete product selection.
