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 Data1 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

Establish a Best-Practice Standard of Care

Reduced HAPI

Reduce HAPI Risk


The Pink Pad is made specifically for direct skin contact with materials that are immersive, enveloping, soft, breathable, and moisture wicking. Its design maintains skin protection while supporting patient safety.

Independent studies show it effectively reduces erythema compared to other positioning systems.2
No Sliding

Optimize Efficiency


  • Setup time: less than 1 minute
  • In clinical trials, an average of 15-20 minutes of OR time was saved during initial patient positioning
  • Faster, easier, safer repositioning of patients whenever necessary
Nerves

Eliminate Nerve Injury Risk


The Pink Pad is clinically proven to reduce post-operative pain in surgical patients.3 Its advanced material supports proper positioning without placing stress on the head, neck, or shoulders, thereby eliminating the risk of preventable nerve injuries.

By promoting safe, consistent anatomical positioning, the Pink Pad enhances patient outcomes while supporting surgical teams in maintaining the highest standards of care.
No Tape

Improve Infection Control


Single-use designs improve workflow and, most importantly, eliminate cross contamination and Hospital-Acquired Infection (HAI) risks. By removing the need for custom assembly, patient-safety best practices can be standardized. Avoiding the use of tape in patient positioning helps protect against equipment damage, and improves infection-control within the OR.

Surgical site infections account for nearly 22% of the more than 700,000 HAIs that occur annually in the United States.4

Leading Clinical Evidence

  • “After the implementation of The Pink Pad, our whole cohort saw a significant decrease in surgery-related HAPIs and elevated postoperative CKs with no incidence of clinical rhabdomyolysis.” 5
  • “Postoperative erythema was significantly less common on the Pink Pad…” 6
  • “Patients on the Pink Pad had significantly less displacement with Trendelenburg and faster positioning compared to the other surfaces.” 6
