The Material Difference

Breathable open-cell material

The patented material of the Pink Pad XL was developed and refined over a period of years, specifically for the purpose of enhancing patient safety in Trendelenburg by preventing sliding. It is this unique material that provides the Pink Pad its holding power. It offers unparalleled softness that leaves no post-operative skin redness. These material properties are the reason the Pink Pad is the clinically-preferred choice in top hospitals throughout the world.

with the Pink Pad XL


No patient sliding

Prevents Patient Sliding

The advanced material of thePink Pad molds and conforms to greatly enhance patient safety, ensuring better surgical outcomes. Eliminating patient sliding helps hospitals to comply with CMS guidelines for avoiding positioning related injuries categorized as Never Events.



No patient redness

Reduce Risk of HAPIs

The patented, skin-friendly material was created specifically for direct contact with the skin. The open-cell design is breathable and wicks moisture away from the patient’s skin, greatly reducing the risk of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs).



No nerve injury

No brachial plexus injury

The Pink Pad places no pressure on the head, neck or shoulders, eliminating the risk of an avoidable injury to brachial plexus nerves.


Minimizes risk of cross-contamination

The single-use design lowers risk for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).

Pressure Relief:
Reduced Risk of HAPIs

The cost of treating hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) is over 1 billion dollars annually, with average increased hospital stays of 9 days and non-reimbursed treatment costs potentially exceeding $40,000 per patient.

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

The Pink Pad not only prevents patient sliding, but can greatly reduce the risk of hospital acquired pressure ulcers.

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

I've been using the Pink Pad for over two years, and have found it to be indispensable. I'm a staff anesthesiologist at St Luke's Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas with over 15 years experience and do a majority of robotically assisted cases. Especially in these cases where extremes of positioning is a requirement the Pink Pad is not only desirable, it's an absolute requirement. I wholeheartedly recommend its use for all your cases where positioning is very important.

We recently completed a successful robotically-assisted, laparoscopic total hysterectomy on a patient that was 147 kg (324 lb) with a BMI of 46. The Pink Pad held the patient in place for the duration of the procedure. We are very pleased with the Pink Pad.

The Pink Pad has allowed me to feel more confident that I can position the patient quickly, while saving OR setup costs and still maximize patient safety. Those of us dedicated to pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery need to utilize innovative products that can both increase patient safety and improve operating room efficiency. I feel confident that by using the Pink Pad, my patients are safe from moving on the table during extreme positioning maneuvers and avoid skin irritation and breakdown associated with other products.
