The Pink Pad®

Biodegradable

The Safest, Most Clinically Proven and Preferred Trendelenburg Positioning Solution, now Biodegradable!


First in Patient Safety

Pink Pad XL - 40583

Empowering OR Leaders to Focus on What Matters Most


An evidence-based best practice for reducing postoperative erythema, and the risk of nerve damage in steep Trendelenburg.

The only proven Trendelenburg positioning system to achieve full biodegradability in accordance with ASTM D5511 standards.

The safest, most effective solution for reducing patient sliding in steep Trendelenburg; even for heavy, high-BMI patients.



Proven Pressure Management


In a study of 15 subjects ranging from 16-54 BMI (average BMI 35.5), the Pink Pad provided an average peak pressure reduction of 43%.

US Government Data2 show Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs):
  • Are the direct cause of death for roughly 60,000 patients each year
  • Add an estimated $43,180 in costs per hospital stay
  • Result in more than 17,000 medical lawsuits, annually (the second most common claim after wrongful death)
  • Increase hospital stays by nine days on average

Images shown are of the same 30.85 BMI subject, on a solid surface, with and without the Pink Pad. Tests were conducted with an Xsensor Sensor Pad Model PX 100:48.144.02

The Material Difference

Breathable open-cell material


The Pink Pad's unique material was developed and refined over a period of several years. Beyond preventing unwanted patient movement in steep Trendelenburg, the Pink Pad offers patients unparalleled skin protection. Unique softness, breathability, immersion, and envelopment characteristics protect against HAPI (Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury) formation.

Optimally-balanced material properties are a leading reason why the Pink Pad has emerged as the clinically-preferred Trendelenburg positioning solution in top hospitals around the world.


Increase Safety with the Pink Pad


Prevent Patient Sliding

Prevent Patient Sliding

Safe patient positioning in steep Trendelenburg can only be achieved when patient sliding is eliminated. Doing so helps hospitals comply with CMS guidelines for avoiding positioning-related injuries and Never Events.

The Pink Pad is the safest, most effective solution for reducing patient sliding in steep Trendelenburg; even for heavy, high-BMI patients.

Reduce HAPI Risk

Reduce HAPI Risk

The Pink Pad was designed specifically for direct-skin contact. Its unique material is breathable, moisture wicking, insulative, soft-to-the-touch, immersive, and enveloping.

Independent studies prove that the Pink Pad reduces erythema compared to other positioning solutions.3

No nerve injury

Eliminate Brachial Plexus Injury Risk

The Pink Pad is clinically proven to reduce post-operative pain in surgical patients.4 It functions without placing pressure on the head, neck, or shoulders; thereby eliminating the risk of preventable nerve injuries.

Minimize Cross-Contamination

The Pink Pad was designed specifically for direct-skin contact. Its open-cell structure is breathable, moisture wicking, insulative, soft-to-the-touch, immersive, and enveloping. Independent studies prove that the Pink Pad reduces erythema compared to other positioning solutions.

Greening
the OR


Making Leaps Towards Sustainability can be Both Safe and Easy


“…one of the greatest challenges for greening the operating room can be convincing the surgical teams, who rely on empirical data and consistencies in structure and process, to consider changes in their respective practices.” — Practice Greenhealth

 

“Cost savings may be realized by utilizing energy-efficient technologies, implementing waste management strategies, and taking advantage of the climate provisions in recently enacted federal law…” — TJC

 

“Operating rooms are hubs of hospital activity: They earn up to 60% of a hospital’s revenue; account for 40% to 60% of its supply budget; produce more than 30% of its total waste and two-thirds of its regulated medical waste… All this activity creates opportunities for green initiatives.” — Stanford Medicine
