AORN Guidelines & Recommendations

“Prevent the patient’s body from contacting metal portions of the OR bed and other hard surfaces.” Section 3.15 - Positioning the Patient

No Post-Related Injury

Postless Distraction

The Pink Hip Kit safely provides counter-traction necessary to offset the forces of hip distraction. It gently secures patients in position, improving safety relative to traditional systems that leverage the perineum against rigid posts.

A uniquely immersive, enveloping, skin-friendly material further protects patients against Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs).

Enhanced C-Arm Imaging

The absence of a perineal post allows for unobstructed visualization in C-arm imaging, improved surgeon access, and increased freedom of movement; yielding more thorough and efficient fluoroscopic exams.

Enhanced
Range of Motion

The Pink Hip Kit enhances range of motion during joint manipulation, permitting a more complete dynamic exam without the need to change surgical techniques.

Pink Hip Kit Experience with Dr. Evanson

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

Clinical Evidence

“This post-free distraction technique for hip arthroscopy is a simple, cost-friendly alternative to conventional methods that eliminates the possibility of iatrogenic groin and perineal injuries caused by distraction through a post.” ³
“(The Pink Hip Kit) can be used with a standard hip arthroscopy table, is easy to learn, allows for adequate distraction, and allows for greater access to the femoral neck during osteochondroplasty…” ³

³ Read the Study in Arthroscopy Techniques

“When discussing this technique with patients, it is important to highlight that it diminishes the possibility of iatrogenic pressure injury to the pudendal nerve and skin of the perineum. …Postless technique prevents any compression and pressure to these regions.” ⁴

⁴ Read the article in Video Journal of Sports Medicine

“Postoperative erythema was significantly less common on the Pink Pad…” ⁵

⁵ Read the Most Recently Published Pink Pad Research

“In the control group, 15 patients reported pudendal nerve neurapraxia with an average duration of 10 days... Two patients (4% of the males) in the control group reported erectile dysfunction of 4 months. None reported pudendal complications in the postless group.” ⁶

⁶ Read the Study in the Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology

“Transitioning away from using the typical setup for hip arthroscopy, all Duke hip specialists have adopted as best practice an innovative postless distraction system, which has been shown to cause fewer potential postoperative complications.” ⁷

⁷ Read the Duke Health article

“With failures of periacetabular osteotomy linked to postoperative impingement and the high incidence of intra-articular pathology in the dysplastic hip, there has been a great interest in combining hip arthroscopy with the periacetabular osteotomy. Here, we describe a technique for a single table, single drape, postless combined hip arthroscopy, and periacetabular osteotomy.” ⁸

What our Customers are Saying...

In the time I've switched over to using The Pink Hip Kit, I've not had any reports of even temporary paresthesia related to what used to be from the traction post. So it's been a really nice advancement for the field and one of those advancements that truly does improve patient safety.
