Complete Face Down Support System Package Post Vitrectomy, Macular Hole and Retinal Detachment Surgery Recovery Equipment + 2 Way Mirror to Watch TV+ Disposable Cover, Blue

My husband had retina surgery and had to remain face down for 5 days. This item saved his sanity and his back. He was able to pass the time looking at his phone and watching TV. He says he doesn’t know how he would have gotten through it without this setup.Really high quality item. Comfortable to use. Easy to set up with clear instructions.Would 100% recommend for anyone who is required to remain face down after surgery.

Able to sit up and read or watch television (using mirror that came with it) after eye surgery that required head down for several days. Made life so much bearable with this product.

Don’t know what I would have done without this product. It was a life saver after surgery.

Bought this for upcoming vitrectomy surgery for a macular hole. Received the device a few days ahead of surgery to become familiar with it. The directions following surgery were for me to keep my head down 22 out of 24 hours a day. I admit I have not been the best patient at following this direction. I am not able to use the device for sleeping as I cannot use it to lie on my stomach for any length of time as it wrecks my back so that particular function is not able to be used. Using it sitting on a stool in front of my chair has been helpful in relieving neck pain though and I like the portability of the apparatus. It seems to be well made with quality materials and padding is adequate. The mirror works ok but I have used it more by just holding in my hand than with my head resting on the pillow. I think that the extension on the head platform should be about an inch longer to accommodate thicker mattresses and the mirror would benefit by being somewhat larger or at least as large as the pad that it sits on if used with the device. It is somewhat less cost than the rental suggested by the docs office but that item has no portability. I only hope that I do not have to have this surgery done on the other eye.

Bought this for my wife following her victrectomy ad she needed to keep her head down for 4 days. This device worked well for her. It also worked well to help buckle her in the car on the ride home as well as her follow-up appointment the following day. It’s a bit expensive … but well worth the cost!

As a veteran health care professional , I feel compelled to write this review . After reading and reviewing products very thoroughly, I chose this equipment to respond to my needs post retinal surgery which would require me to keep my face in one position- face down.First , the equipment came on time and properly boxed and the product is as described - it is well conceived and well made.My challenge - I know I am not the most savvy when it comes to adjusting equipment and in this case, this equipment needed adjusting to my height when I am sitting at a table etc. I phoned the telephone number helpline and spoke to Benjamin who has decades of experience with this type of equipment and asked for his assistance. Benjamin was so professional. He is so knowledgeable, helpful, patient and gracious - I can not say enough. What I was having difficulty understanding - he made it so easy peasy for me. There are handles - that easily lock the headrest into place.I know this equipment will be uber helpful to my recovery . I especially want to thank Benjamin who provided OUTSTANDING service. This made all the difference !!!!

One star , I returned because it’s uncomfortable ( impossible actually) it certainly won’t work between mattress and box spring.It’s difficult enough to have to go through the surgery and this is torture!

Very comfortable to use after eye surgery
