Method of securing a patient onto an operating table when the patient is in a position such as the trendelenburg position and apparatus therefor including a kit

A system configured to minimize injuries on portions of a body of a patient on a surgical procedure table, such as a surgical operating table or a patient examination table, said system comprising a pad;

• said pad comprising:
• a coefficient of static friction bring sufficient to assist in minimizing unwanted movement of said pad on a surgical procedure table upon a patient being on a surgical procedure table;
• sufficient thickness to sufficiently cushion a body of a patient to:
• minimize bottoming out or prevent bottoming out, on a surgical procedure table, of one or more of portions of a body of a patient during positioning of a patient and during a surgical procedure, and to minimize injuries from pressure on a patient during a surgical procedure;
• and
• sufficient compliance to conform to a substantial portion of a body of a patient;
• sufficient thinness to stabilize a patient on a surgical procedure table;
• and
• said sufficient thickness and said sufficient compliance being configured to permit formation of a cavity in said pad of a depth sufficient to:
• assist in holding a patient on a surgical procedure table, and
• assist in minimizing undesired movement of a body of a patient on a surgical procure table, during a surgical procedure performed while a patient is in a surgical position;
• wherein said pad is configured to generate a sufficient static frictional force on skin of a patient on a surgical procedure table pad to stabilize a patient on a surgical procedure table pad;
• said system further comprising:
• a cleaning device configured to clean a scope during a medical procedure;
• said device comprising further:
• a casing housing a sponge and a heating element;
• and
• an attachment element connected to an outer surface of said casing and configured to removably attach said casing to a surgical implement;
• said surgical implement being configured to be operatively attachable to a patient;
• wherein said casing is configured to allow a lens of said scope to access said sponge and said heating element;
• and
• said pad provides an air flow sufficient to provide substantial air flow at at least a portion of a contact area of a patient, and prevent or minimize pressure injury to a patient.
