Device and method for pelvic elevation and stabilization of surgical patient

A device for supporting and elevating the pelvis of a patient in a supine position, comprising:

• a generally flat main body at least partially formed from a polymer foam and comprising:
• a proximal end section having a proximal upper surface configured to be positioned beneath the patient's lower back,
• a distal end section having a distal upper surface configured to be positioned beneath the patient's upper legs, and
• a medial section having a medial upper surface configured to be positioned beneath the patient's buttocks, the medial section having a smaller cross-wise width than cross-wise widths of the proximal end and distal end sections;
• two distal-lateral ridges extending vertically from the distal upper surface of the main body and positioned along distal-lateral edges of the distal upper surface;
• two proximal-lateral ridges extending vertically from the proximal upper surface of the main body and positioned along proximal-lateral edges of the proximal upper surface;
• and
• a distal-central ridge extending vertically from an upper surface of the main body along a mid-line of a major axis of the main body.
