IMEGA SOFT: Capacitive Pad

MEGA SOFT, a brand name of Megadyne Medical Products Inc (USA), is a large capacitive pad that eliminates the need for an individual dispersive pad that may become a safety problem if it becomes tented during a procedure. The bulk resistivity of this unique capacitive pad ensures that current densities are kept to a clinically safe level such that no pad site burns occur.

The MEGA SOFT provides patients with an additional benefit not provided by any return electrode, an OR table pressure reduction pad. As the patient can lay immobile on the operating table for an extended length of time, pressure in the OR can be very dangerous for a patient. Pressure will with time cause the capillaries to collapse (how much time it takes is dependent on the physical health of the patient), depriving the tissue of both oxygen and nutrients. This causes the tissue to die and a pressure sore starts to form. Pressure sores will visibly manifest themselves in as little as two hours or it may take as long as two days after surgery. Other extrinsic factors such as shear, friction and heat may also contribute to the formation of pressure sores

MEGA SOFT is made of Akton Polymer, which is very effective in helping to reduce both pressure and the shear which contribute to the formation of pressure sores. MEGA SOFT because of its reusable nature, reduces the hospital waste as one MEGA SOFT can eliminate approximately 1,500 sticky pads and hence contribute to your environmental responsibility.

No doubt why this product has been so widely accepted in all the premier institutes all over the world now. It is easy to use, more patient friendly, environment friendly and cost effective.
