David Scott offers a variety of lateral & surgical hip positioners to aid with total hip replacements & other lateral surgeries. The lateral position is when a patient lies on their side with the non-operative side on the surgical surface. A patient my be positioned in the lateral position during back, colorectal, kidney, & hip surgeries.
