The EG-700 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-700 is the flat armboard pad in Elbnova’s 14-model gel positioning system — the final application segment of the range. Where the earlier models in the system cover head, body, lateral, shoulder, heel, and chair positioning, the EG-700 and its counterpart EG-710 address the arm: specifically, the gel pad surface placed on a surgical armboard to support the patient’s arm during a procedure.

CE-Marked Flat Gel Armboard Pad

The EG-700 is a CE-marked gel positioning armboard pad intended for operating room and clinical positioning environments. At 55 × 15 cm and 1.3 cm in depth, it is a long, narrow flat pad — its proportions directly reflect the format of a standard surgical armboard surface.

The dimensions are deliberate. At 55 cm in length, the pad runs along the full usable length of a typical armboard. At 15 cm wide, it matches the typical armboard width. At 1.3 cm depth, it is a flat surface gel pad — the same format and depth as the flat body pads (EG-200, EG-220), adapted here for armboard dimensions rather than full table surface coverage.

The gel material conforms under the weight of the arm, distributing contact pressure across the full pad surface rather than concentrating it at the elbow, forearm, or wrist. The EG-700 functions as one component within a broader patient positioning setup, under the direction of qualified clinical personnel.

Flat or Lateral — Choosing Between EG-700 and EG-710

Elbnova offers two armboard pad models, differentiated by depth and format:

Both share identical length and width — 55 × 15 cm. The difference is entirely in the depth: 1.3 cm for the EG-700, 6 cm for the EG-710. The EG-700 lies flat on the armboard surface; the EG-710’s 6 cm height makes it a lateral support structure — a pad with significant elevation, used when the arm needs to be positioned at height rather than resting flat.

The choice between the two is determined by the armboard setup and the positioning requirements of the clinical team. For departments that need both formats, a single inquiry to Elbnova covers specifications and pricing for both. The full armboard pad range and the complete 14-model system are available at elbnova.com/products.

The Armboard Segment — Completing the System

The EG-700 and EG-710 form the armboard pad segment — the final group within Elbnova’s 14-model gel positioning system. Across the full system, every major intraoperative positioning requirement is covered by a dedicated model or model pair:

Head positioning (EG-100, EG-110, EG-130, EG-140, EG-160) — five models covering closed ring, open ring, and prone head positioning for adult and paediatric patients.

Body pads (EG-200, EG-220) — full-length flat pads for operating table surface coverage, smooth and textured.

Chair pads (EG-300, EG-310) — square and rectangular pads for seated clinical positioning.

Three-dimensional support pads (EG-400, EG-500, EG-600) — volumetric structures for lateral, shoulder, and heel positioning.

Armboard pads (EG-700, EG-710) — flat and lateral formats for arm positioning on surgical armboards. The EG-700 is the flat model in this pair.

For hospitals and distributors sourcing the complete system, the EG-700 closes the loop: the arm is the last major intraoperative contact zone, and the armboard pad group addresses it directly. A complete Elbnova inventory means no positioning requirement needs a separate supplier.

Who Stocks the EG-700

Hospitals and surgical centres reviewing armboard pad options for the OR — particularly those standardising their armboard pad supply to a CE-marked gel format, or those evaluating both flat and lateral armboard pad options before specifying their inventory.

Operating room managers specifying flat gel armboard pads for arm positioning setups — where the armboard configuration in the department calls for a flat gel surface pad at standard armboard dimensions, and a CE-marked option is required.

Medical procurement teams comparing flat and lateral armboard pad formats — the EG-700 and EG-710 together represent the complete armboard pad offering within the Elbnova system. Both can be evaluated and priced in a single inquiry, simplifying the comparison and procurement process.

Distributors building a complete armboard positioning offering — where presenting a clearly differentiated flat and lateral armboard pad pair from the same CE-marked manufacturer completes the product range for hospital buyers. The EG-700 is the model that makes the armboard segment of the range functional for the widest range of OR armboard setups.
