Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to compare two cushioning materials (a gel mattress and an egg-crate foam mattress) placed beneath patients undergoing gynecologic surgery to prevent patients from sliding toward the head of the bed during head-down positioning. Our hypothesis is that the two materials will be equally good at preventing slide on the table and that slide will be less than 5 cm (\<2 inches) on average.
