A Material Difference

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).

Material Difference

Innovative Design

The increasing prevalence of bariatric surgery brings with it a need for new, more advanced solutions for safe patient positioning. Unique designs maximize anatomical support during surgery and contribute to improved post-op patient comfort.

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.

Reverse Trendelenburg Positioning Solutions for a Range of Surgical Procedures

The Reverse-T Provide Safe, Stable Support for Patients in the Reverse Trendelenburg

General

General

General surgery procedures often use reverse Trendelenburg positioning to improve upperabdominal exposure and reduce pressure on the diaphragm. Stable, well-supported positioning helps maintain alignment, enhance visualization, and protect tissue during complex operative tasks.

Common Procedures:
  • Hiatal hernia repair
  • Cholecystectomy
  • Nissen
Bariatric

Bariatric

Bariatric procedures often place patients in steep, reverse-Trendelenburg to improve access to the abdominal region. Safe, secure positioning helps maintain alignment, eliminate sliding, and protect tissue integrity for patients with higher BMI throughout a range of procedures.

Common Procedures:
  • Sleeve gastrectomy
  • Roux-en-Y
  • Duodenal switch

AORN
Guidelines & Recommendations

Official AORN Guidelines Recommend1


  • “Supporting the patient’s sacrum reduces the potential for injury.” Section 8.5 - Positioning the Patient
  • “Use a padded footboard. Using a padded footboard helps prevent the patient from sliding downward on the OR bed and reduces the potential for injury to the peroneal and tibial nerves from foot and ankle flexion.”Section 6.2 - Positioning the Patient


  • “Assessing and monitoring the patient’s feet during the procedure confirms physiologic alignment and placement against the footboard, prevents rotation and increased pressure on the ankle, and may help to prevent circulatory or nerve damage.” Section 6.2.1 - Positioning the Patient
  • “A standardized product selection process assists in the selection of functional and reliable products that are safe, cost-effective, and environmentally preferable and that promote quality care, as well as decreases duplication or rapid obsolescence.” Section 1.1 - Environmental Cleaning

Pressure Map

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

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

Prevent Patient Sliding


Safe patient positioning in steep Trendelenburg is only possible when sliding is eliminated. Doing so helps hospitals comply with CMS guidelines and prevent positioning-related Never Events.

The Pink Pad provides a proven, secure solution for minimizing sliding—even in heavy, high-BMI patients.
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

Reduce Time, Costs, and Unnecessary Risk

Stopwatch

Setup Time Under One Minute

  • Setup time under one minute saves your hospital up to $1,900 per procedure*
    *Based on OR costs of $100/minute5 6, and 20-minute average setup times for competitive systems
  • Standardized best-practices can be achieved with pre-configured kits, eliminating makeshift "off-label" solutions

Less Time for Risk

  • For each hour of the duration of surgery, the risk of SSI increased by 34%7
  • The risk of pressure injuries increases by 40% every 30 minutes of surgery8
  • Prolonged anesthesia duration is associated with increased odds of complication, venous thromboembolism, increased length of stay, and return to operating room.9

Clinical Evidence

  • “Postoperative erythema was significantly less common on the Pink Pad…” 10
  • “There was significantly less pain in the Pink Pad group versus the gel-pad group.” 10

Clinical Feedback

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.
