Patient positioning devices are medical devices used in various surgical/diagnostic procedures for the patient safety and ease of surgeon's access to the area of ​​operation. However, the type of device depends on the type of surgery to be performed. Patient positioning is an essential aspect of nursing practice and is the responsibility of the registered nurse. These devices are widely used to maintain the patient's neutral body alignment by preventing hyperextension and extreme lateral rotation to prevent complications of immobility and injury.

Patient positioning devices are also used to maintain patient's airway and circulation throughout the procedure, provide surgeon access to a surgical site as well as to anesthetic administration, access to ventilation and monitoring, maintain physiological functions, patient comfort, safety and privacy, and prevent nerve damage. Optimal positioning ensures access to the surgical site, and maintains body alignment. Patient positioning is vital for avoiding surgical complications. These devices, during surgery, help ensure the patient's physiologic safety.

Patient Positioning Devices are becoming increasingly popular in hospitals around the world. These devices help a physician to keep track of the patient's positions throughout the procedure. A patient positioning device is able to provide the surgeon with a better view of any potential surgical problems that need to be addressed before an operation begins. One of the key benefits of these devices is the reduction of potential surgical errors and incisions. There are different types of these devices, so doctors must find one that works best for their facility.

Patient positioning devices are also used in health care facilities for mobility and repositioning of patients. They are usually required for those recovering from injury or surgery, those who are disabled permanently, and for the elderly population for day-to-day activities. Thus, there is an increasing demand for patient positioning devices. In November 2020, Canon Medical (Japan) announced the launch of a premium auto-positioning digital radiography system for patient care and optimal productivity.
