INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
i. For procedures inferior to the thorax (i.e.
nephrectomy, hip) use the Axillary Pillow
in the standard position. For procedures
including the thorax and superior (i.e.
thoracotomy, shoulder) flip the Axillary
Pillow forward to provide greater upper
body support.
j. With the valve open, approximate the
sides of the Hug-U-Vac® to the anterior
and posterior aspects of the patient
making certain that the Hug-U-Vac®
does not impinge on the surgical field.
k. Evacuate the air from the
Hug-U-Vac® by attaching
surgical suction to the barbed
end of the open valve.
l. When sufficiently firm
close and lock the
valve and remove
the suction hose.
Ensure that the valve is held
securely by the nozzle when
removing suction tubing or valve
damage may occur.
WARNING! Once the desired form is obtained around the patient, DO NOT
leave suction applied to the device. Close the Hug-U-Vac valve and stop
suction during the procedure. After the procedure is completed, release
the Hug-U-Vac valve and allow air to return into the device.
