Place the Evacuated Bead Support on the operating table behind the patient’s head.
Arrange the bead around the patient to that they will be supported sufficiently.
Ensure that the valve is ‘open’ and attached a suction machine to the valve and evacuated the air from the support, until the support feels solid.
Ensure the patient is stable.
After Use: Open the valve to let the air back into the support. Shaking the support will help the air back in, but is not necessary.
