Reverse Trendelenburg Positioning System

The Material Difference

The increasing prevalence of bariatric surgery brings with it a need for new, more advanced solutions for safe patient positioning. The Pink Reverse-T Kit is a comprehensive system designed specifically for heavy, high-BMI patients; addressing patient safety challenges on a number of fronts.

Innovative Design

The Pink Pad's unique material was developed and refined over a period of several years. It offers unparalleled softness, breathability, immersion, and envelopment characteristics that protect patients against HAPIs (Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries). Unique designs maximize anatomical support during surgery and contribute to improved post-op patient comfort.

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

Increase Safety with the Pink Pad

Safely Prevent Sliding

An innovative seat contour made of high-density, supportive material ensures anatomically correct positioning, while skin-friendly DermaProx Pink™ safely prevents unwanted movement in reverse Trendelenburg.

Reduce Risk of HAPIs

Unique, patented materials provide complete protection against HAPIs; minimizing non-reimbursed care costs by avoiding preventable injuries and CMS Never-Events.

Create an Efficient, User-Friendly Standard of Care

The Pink Reverse-T Kit requires less than one minute to set up, while a single-use design minimizes cross-contamination risk and improves OR turnover times. Surgical site infections account for nearly 22% of the more than 700,000 Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) that occur annually in the United States.²

Reduce Time, Costs and Unnecessary Risk

and Unnecessary Risk

Cost Effectiveness

Set up time under one minute saves your hospital up to $1,900 per procedure^*
^*Based on OR billable time of $100/minute and an average set up time of 20 minutes for competitive systems.

Patient Safety Improvements

The risk of pressure injuries increases by 40% every 30 minutes of surgery³
For each hour of the duration of surgery, the risk of SSI increased by 34%⁴
Prolonged anesthesia duration is associated with increased odds of complication, venous thromboembolism, increased length of stay, and return to operating room.⁵

Clinical Evidence

“Postoperative erythema was significantly less common on the Pink Pad…” ⁶
“There was significantly less movement on the Pink Pad at all anatomical landmarks…” ⁶

What Our Customers are Saying...

We recently performed bariatric surgery on a 900+ lb patient. You can imagine how challenging it was for our team to maintain safe positioning throughout the procedure. The Pink Reverse-T Kit allowed us to both secure the patient and avoid pressure injuries. We really put this product to the test and it passed with flying colors.

With patients weighing 450 lbs or more, and BMIs in excess of 65, safe positioning can be a real challenge. Xodus Medical’s Pink Reverse-T Kit not only prevented our patients from sliding, but did so safely.
