We provide a simple technique for foot positioning during preoperative skin preparation. Prone headrest made of gel polymer is used to support the patient's leg to keep the foot up. This will protect your operating theatre practitioner's back avoiding any mechanical back strain. It will also save money by preventing sickness and reducing workplace litigation from back injuries.
