BEACH CHAIR The common shoulder surgery position requires many posi-
tioning aids. The beige bean bag positioner, filled with foam pellets that hard-
en when you suction the air out of the bag, conforms to the patient and com-
fortably secures his lower back and buttocks in place. Soft pillows wedged
under the patient's knees relieve pressure on the lower lumbar spine and
legs. Egg crate padding cushions the heels. The blue safety strap secures the
patient at the waist.
